travels between parts in sequential print in vase mode

[mcannell]

I hoped that with the new release sequential vase mode would work but when you print seperate parts in vase mode there are travels between the two parts that ruin the vase mode continuity. It seems to me this should be a simple fix ... print one object entirely, move to new origin and start pinting second according to the second process file (or reuse the previous process file)....

Here's hoping for a fix so I don't have to manually edit all the gcode files for multiple object production...

Just use sequential printing, then it works fine.

I have done small vase-mode parts sequentially without issue, but I tried to slice two 90mm tall parts last night for sequential print and they would not slice for vase mode. I don't know if there's a max clearance value that is hard-coded into S3D or what caused them not to slice for sequential print.

Guys......think really hard about what you're asking for from the software!!!!

You want your printer to print say a five or six inch high part in vase mode......and then to print another part on the bed alongside it. How the hell do you think the print head will be able to get anywhere near the bed without some part of the printer colliding with the first print. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

My printer is a Raise 3D N2. The print head is gantry mounted on a pair of overhead rods with substantial clearance above the rods to the cover. With a 12x12 print bed I can easily print a pair of 4" cylinders placed at opposite corners of the bed. The machine can do what I'm asking.
