Complete individual object improvement for higher objects #12680

Open BigAl66 opened 2 weeks ago

BigAl66 commented 2 weeks ago

I wish there is a checkbox for change object after "height clearence". So e.g. height clearance is set to 13 mm then print 13 mm of the first object, then move to the next and print 13 mm and so on. Finally come back to the first and start over printing 13 mm etc.

This could reduce print time and stringing between objects. And it work for objects that are higher than the "height clearance" paramater. The "radius clearance" must of course be observed.

(I'm just another user - we need devs and potential contributors to notice ) That's a really neat idea! I guess we can fake it on the user side by splitting objects and re-ordering them in the list on the right if they don't need supports. I guess add objects to them beneath the plate to allow them to stay suspended? I haven't yet noticed a logical barrier to doing this in the slicer with supports present. So far I imagine it could potentially be an issue with materials that warp progressively, so if they're left to do that while something else is printed, it might not be possible to continue cleanly. Writing automated criteria for bed placement and volume filling seems like it could be arduous and would lead to complaints about not being able to do something that the user can clearly see should work like so many other things in slicer design where all they've got to work with is triangles :).

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/9598 and was also suggested here https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/10189 too Apparently its a feature Simplyfy3D has.

You're right. Have not seen that. Sorry. It could be closed.

But the other issues are older than a year and should be pushed.

And we're talking about Prusa Slicer. Simplify3D is not an optione here...
