Hi, in composer you have to export the file first by
pressing the export button, remember to name it something appropriate and not the same as the original file or it will overwrite it. It will export it as a
stl file, so then you press done and it will close compose. Now back to pronterface you load your new stl file that you exported and then it should show your composed file. When you print it should be multiple objects. If you dont see anything on the plate, sometimes you have to move any axis, then it comes up, dont know why, perhaps a bug but it happens with my one.
Hope this helps.
