Multipart registration in Slic3r
Getting my head wrapped around MM printing, got a lot of bugs smashed, and a successful (abs) print under my belt.
When you pull multiple models into Slic3r, it wants to slam them down to the build plate, how would I import a model and tell slic3r not to mess with it's initial coordinates? (see image)
Re: Multipart registration in Slic3r
Looks like there's going to be support for part translation, I just have to be patient...additionally, there should be a checkbox for 'leave original coordinates intact' or something...

You could try unchecking File/Preferences/Auto-centre parts

Re: Multipart registration in Slic3r
No, I think it's how you are using it... You cannot drag/drop all files at the same time.
Drag/drop the base onto Slic3r. Select the base and press "Settings" button at top.
For each of the files, press "Load Part" and select the file.
For me it's strange but that's how to do it.

That got it. Thanks! (Not _obvious_ but still...it's early days.)
Re: Multipart registration in Slic3r
Not _obvious_ .
Totally agree on that.It is the logical thing to do and it is exactly how KISS works - if it's single parts, load them singly; it it's a multi-part model, load them together. Just makes sense.
