Printing more than one object at a time Now that I am happy with the way my Mendel is printing, I want to print another one a full set with Wades extruder, so far I can only get one item onto the print bed at a time. I use Solidworks 2011 as my CAD program and to save as .stl files, I also have NetFabb, Solidworks eDrawings viewer and I use Skeinforge41 for my Gcode and Repsnapper to drive my Mendel. I am using Windows as opposed to Linux. :S Thanks Gary https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,82919#msg-82919 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 06:34:42 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,83368#msg-83368 Re: Printing more than one object at a time https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,83368#msg-83368

just install the application, and open up your main stl, then import everything else.


I don't use solid works, but here is some information on importing stl files.

If you want to print multiple stl files, then you can import them into a solidworks file using insert - features - parts and then use insert - features - move to position them in the same way before saving them as stl.]]> brnrd General Thu, 05 May 2011 21:58:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,82921#msg-82921 Re: Printing more than one object at a time https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,82921#msg-82921
When you save the assembly of parts as an .stl, go to the options and check "save all components of an assembly as a single file".]]> Dale Dunn General Thu, 05 May 2011 21:56:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,82919#msg-82919 Printing more than one object at a time https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,82919,82919#msg-82919
