stack a part on top of another one
I have two I want to merge together. The first was to use 'add part' to bring in the second part. But now I need to align them. It is easy to set the X,Y parameters, but difficult to align the bottom of the second part to the top of the first part. Note the first part has two different levels on the top. There is an inner level that is higher to fit inside of the second part. I had to manually adjust the Z parm while zoomed in until it looked like the bottom layer of the second part was on top of the lower top layer of the first part.
Prusa slicer does not have an 'insert' or 'join faces' option. Is there an easier way to do this?

Not really no. This is why CAD exists. Its trivial to do this in cad and then export the combined stl.
RE: stack a part on top of another one
I just found this thread looking for a solution and then figured it out by myself - actually this is possible.
You need to mark all objects you want to stack and then select join (or similar, my UI is in german). After that, you can set the height of the object that shall be on top of the the other.
RE: stack a part on top of another one
Yes. as was pointed out before it is possible to do but its a manual process. There is no snap face to another face to get it perfect. Which was what the OP was asking about. And good luck with that if the 2 or more parts you want to stack are at obtuse angles to each other or the faces you need to join are not on a perfect x/y/z plane.
