Either manually move each model so the gaps are less......or increase the gap between the skirt and the model in the settings until the skirts merge.

The two connecting pieces are 0.8mm wide. Is anywhere near the extrusion width for your Rostock? If so, the connecting pieces may be too narrow for S3D to slice.

Can this be changed so that it first sets all temperatures and only then waits for them all to be reached? It is a pain waiting for heating to be completed in a one by one manner. It's all in the order of the commands in the start up script. Read this thread and look at the scripts in both threads....

At a guess from the very brief description of the issue, I think this may be cured by using the "Separate Connected Surfaces" option on the Mesh dropdown menu. Using this option may add one or more items to the model list. If it does, then the problem may be solved. If not, attach a factor...
