2 Processes 1 with a skirt, one with a regular Brim

I have a few small parts I need to print, but I have 2 processes to print multiple pieces. Process 1 (PLA) has the same settings are Process 2 (PLA-Brim) but the smaller parts that require the brim are selected and the parts that don't use process 1.

I just did it a few mins ago and sliced up some files and it worked perfect, but now when I am going to try it again adding more files it's putting the skirt on the pieces fine, but now it's adding 10 lines to the brim for the other pieces when it should only be a 2 line brim.

I can't quite figure out what changed is this a bug?

If the parts are too close together on your bed, they will end up using the same brim settings since their brims would otherwise overlap. So make sure the parts are far enough apart if you want different brims with different settings.

After messing around with it shortly after I posted the topic *Usually what ends up happening* I Figured that out. I had to move the parts down the bed a couple CM and then it worked as it should.

I also had a problem with rafts doing the same thing and I had no idea why, but it fell into the same problem, too close uses the same settings.

I really love this software, it really does make 3d printing a lot easier.

Thanks for your reply CompoundCarl.
