Multiple objects in one printing session

Lets say I have a part to print - a 1" x 1" x 1" cube shape. I need multiples of these. So far I have just been printing one cube per session, then cleaning the bed and starting a new print job. One print job for each cube.

I can easily fit multiple cubes on the printing bed - is it possible to set up a job to print - lets say 9 cubes at a time? If so, how much room do I set this up.

Thanks.

Best Answer by JoanTabb:

In prusa slicer, add one cube to the build plate, then with the cube selected

click the '+' tool at the top of the window 8 more times, to create 9 instances of the cube
Then click on the Arrange button

and your cubes should be arranged neatly for you
or 

right click on the first cube, and either select the number if instances that you want, or choose 'Fill Bed with instances' for a few more

regards Joan
