Print Multiple Objects One at a Time

I'm making cookie cutters with my 3D printer. I recently switched from Cura because the quality of my cutters is better with Simplify3D, BUT I (currently) can only print one at a time.
I would like to be able to arrange multiple cutters on my build plate, save the file and leave it to print 3-4 cutters at a time before having to come back to it and reset.
Simplfy3D wants to print them all simultaneously. That doesn't work for me as it leaves streaks of filament sticking out of the walls of the cookie cutters and they require filing and sanding. It's just a mess.
I want to it to print one at a time.
How do I do that!??!
(I'm using a Mac if that's relevant. All of the 'how to' things I can find online say that when I click 'Prepare to Print' a window will pop up, that doesn't happen in my software.)
Thank-you for your help!!

Re: Print Multiple Objects One at a Time

This is commonly called "sequential" printing, since you're printing one object after another. They already have a nice tutorial that explains how to do it: https://www.simplify3d.com/support/tuto ... -printing/
