Hello Forum,
Is it possible to build a Cura Project were you would have multiple examples of the same part to be printed, but your printer finishes each part before going to the next one? I want to eliminate the wasted time, wisps of filament, room for error, of moving from one part to another when the printer is at the same layer/Z height. I also do not want to waste the time of the printer running through the bed level check for a part that takes less than 10 minutes to print.
Print three of the same part but finish each one top to bottom before moving on to the next example...
Thanks,
CismontGuy

Re: Print Multiple of same part in one set up One at a time?
When printing multiple objects there are two modes for cura: "print-at-once" and "one-at-a-time".
In Order to use this you must check the box in Preferences > Settings > Print Sequence.
The Print sequences has some settings that must be made to tell cura the gantry height how Large Hot-end is ect.....

Thank you for your help! I will try this. I want to print 3 of the same part. I realize Cura has to keep the gantry clear of hitting a finished part. I was thinking by spacing the parts out on the build area and never having them overlap in the X or Y, there would not be a problem. Cismontguy

You will know if there is a problem.
Once you enable "one-at-a-time" Cura will not let you slice the parts if they are in conflicting areas.
