Slic3r doesn't show the second object part in preview mode

Hello creators,

I successfully upgraded my Purse i3MK2s last week and everything works perfectly now.

So now I am learning how to design and print objects with Prusa i3 multi material. My issue at this moment is: I cannot tell to the slic3r that the second object/part has to be on the top of the first one. Please refer to the screenshots to know what I am talking about.

After some research I tried "load modifier" and it worked I could see and control the part but unfortunately after slicing I could not see the whole object in preview.

Can someone please tell me what is missing here and what did I do wrong?

Thank you in advance.
Maissa

Hi Maissa!

The "Load Modifier" has the purpose to modify attributes of a part/model, that is already there by adding an attribute with the + button:

Anyways "Load Modifier" would not have been the correct way, for what you want to achieve. The offset for the upper part has to be correct in the stl file. You can check and modify this by opening both parts in a 3D-Modeler (i use blender) and position them and afterwards save them.

I think you won't get around adjusting the offset in a 3D-Modeler. But i also would have liked the option to adjust an additional offset like it is possible for the modifiers. Seems the functionality is already there.
