Printing replacement parts for my MK3
Hii,
I built my MK3 kit, and it's working (except a touchy PINDA, a replacement should be sent from Pursa).
I want to print a set of replacement parts for my printer from PTEG.
My question is it recommended to print a number of the small parts at the same time?
Won't this effect the strength of the part?
Is there a way to create a "queue" of jobs for the printer?
Re: Printing replacement parts for my MK3
As far as I can tell, as long as you get consistent print quality across your printbed, the strength of the parts shouldn't be affected. Sadly, there is no way to queue prints, as with the Blackbelt 3D.
Re: Printing replacement parts for my MK3
If your printer is working correctly you should be able to fill the print bed with as many parts as will fit. This is how the parts are printed at the factory.
No way to queue prints that I know of.

Yes you can "queue" prints. In Slic3r PE there is an oprtion to print on odject at a time.
You can set several objects on the print bed and it will print each one complete before the next. But be warned you need to make sure the parts printing will not be hit by the x axis print head. It slicer will warn you but its not 100%.
Dont stop the print to remove parts of the bed as you can end up with layer shift problems, not sure why this happens.
But printing all the parts at once by layer should not effect the strength.
