Difference between an OBJECT and a PART in the slicer
An example, if you have a cylinder and you cut it in half ,it creates two objects. If you now try and put the two half’s back together you are unable to raise the one half up(using move tool) to place on the top and recreate the original cylinder. The way around it is to save one piece as an stl. Then you select half remaining and select add part...load the stl just saved and you can move that part anywhere you want. Then merge the two to create original cylinder.
Is there away to raise the object up using the move tool?
thanks
RE: Difference between an OBJECT and a PART in the slicer
No you cant and it is deliberately done that way. All Objects must have at least one point touching the platter (or raft etc). There have been several issues raised on the PS github including a massive acrimonious one about this subject. I'm not going to go into the reasoning behind it here. If you want to read then the big post is here https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/1513 It is not expected to change at any point soon.
The common work around if you need to is to add a very tiny part, say a small 1mm cube to the object and then position that cube so its in contact with the bed and it raises up the other parts of the combined Object as Parts are freely moveable.
For your scenario cant you just use merge to put the 2 Objects back into a single Object consisting of 2 Parts and then move the PArt around to place it on top or whereever you want ?
