Prusa Slicer (Console) - Split object without dropping to bed
Checking viability for setting up a prusa print farm for producing a relative large volume of customized objects, part of this is semi-automating slicing;
I can slice an object via command line, and i can programmatically edit a .3mf to get at the settings I can't get at directly with command line, but I can't for the life of me figure how to split an object and maintain the position of the parts.
In the GUI version, I can say "split to parts" and maintain the parts' positions, but prusa-slicer-console seem to insist that --split means "split to objects" which results in a "flying" part being dropped to the bed.
Can I somehow either force it to either split to parts properly, or prevent it from dropping flying objects to bed (without complaining about not being able to slice flying stuff)?
I haven't got this deep into the command line; what happens with --no-ensure-on-bed
Cheerio,

So, that *almost* did what I wanted.
It does in fact do exactly what I want, with the new problem being that PS throws an error due objects with no extrusion on the first layer, after which it promptly deletes the .3mf file it has already generated.
Probably being a bit too stubborn about the issue, I got the PS source off of github, found and commented out the three lines of code responsible for throwing the error, and compiled.
PS now does exactly what I wanted, allows me to slice an object floating in the air.
With the added benefit of the object remaining an object and not a part, which should give some options regarding part-specific settings.
So, thank you Diem, your response was exactly what i was looking for, albeit with a bit more work attached than expected!
