Assembly of multiple parts into one .stl
Good Morning, was wondering if anyone could help me out with what I'm sure is a simple problem. Some of the prints on prusaprinters.org come with ore-compiled gcode for multi material printing. I'm not a fan of running gcode created on another machine so prefer the .stl files. My conundrum is that I don't understand how to put all the individual pieces together to make one .stl. Some are pretty involved and some only have three individual parts. What the standard workflow for combining the parts into one? Thanks in advance
Best Answer by Robin:
If the parts have the same origin coordinates (which they should if they are part of a multipart file) just load the first part, right click the name in the component browser on the right side of the PrusaSlicer window and select "add part" and load the rest....
You can not combine in to one STL, well you can, but then everything would be one material..
You can export everything together as one .3mf file.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Cool thanks. I just combined all the pieces in meshmixer, which seemed to work OK on the surface until I brought the .stl file into Prusa Slicer, not all the parts where there. Your solution sounds like a much less finicky way to get it done.
