3D printing question

[davidhk129]

Printer …………… Ender 3
Slicer...……………. Cura 4.3

I have a 3d model which consists of 2 different stl files. File 1 is the Top and File 2 is the Bottom.

Question : Can I import both stl files to Cura and can Cura able to slice them at the same time ? Assuming the build bed is large enough for both parts.

Thank you.

Yup absolutely I've covered my print bed in parts. The only downside to this is the bed needs to be really well leveled across the whole platform since more of it will be used but have done like 20 parts on a tray before (risk being if one comes loose can mess up the whole platter)

Damn! I didn't know this was possible.
Imagine the time I could have saved printing several different parts of the same model?

Thank you.

No problem yah can be a big time saver but little doubled edge sword too for bigger more complex stuff I'll still do them by themselves but time saver for small parts for sure.
