Add sequential printing option to slice settings for Slic3r and Cura #702

Open unlimitedbacon opened 8 years ago

unlimitedbacon commented 8 years ago

Cura and Slic3r both support sequential printing (printing one item at a time when you have a plate of many items) however, this option is not exposed in the slice settings UI.

It would be nice to have this feature implemented in MatterSlice as well.

Need a description of best practices for how to achieve this. How are other open source solutions doing this?

The option to enable this is complete_objects = 1.

It doesn't work when given multiple objects in a single STL, though. This is why its been hidden in the UI until now. Slic3r needs to be given an AMF file. Unfortunately, slic3r does not support compressed AMFs, which is what MatterControl creates.
