Multiply Marvin 3Dhubs

[adamcooks]

I am having trouble getting multiple marvins to print. The 3dhubs test print is a small marvin keychain, There are some overhangs that are giving my bot some issues. I am printing in ABS and have no nozzle fan, which i believe is my biggest issue. As a work around i wanted to put two on the plate, give the largest overhang some time to cool before the nozzle gets above it again. Initially I could only get one to slice. There would be 2-4 in the build plate, but only one in the slice preview. 20140926_Marvin_KeyChain was the file name, and it would add a (*) to the end. I imported the file into tinkercad and exported it and could then print multiples. unfortunately tinkercad decimated the number of polygons and made the surface "golf ball like". today I shortened the original file to just Marvin and i could get two to slice, no matter how many were on the build plate. So I make 5 copys of the file, name them marvin A, B C D. put a-d on the build plate, and three slice. See attached screen shots.

4 on the build plate

3 in the preview

yes this is a common thing. in your process settings, first page bottom there is a button that says "select models". click that. you need to add the models you want then in the process you need to choose which models you want that process applied to. if no process is applied then it wont slice.
