just started a SP8 print i use cura for my slicer can i only print 1 file at a time? I wanted to fill my build plate but could not find the rest of my files is it me or?
I use PrusaSlicer and assume Cura has somewhat similar features. You should be able to load several files at the same time and they will all show up. Parts that don't fit on the build plate might be off to the side. Zoom out and you may see them. You may be able to rotate a few parts to squeeze a few more in compared to the default fitting algorithm.
Some of my clocks have gears or frame parts that fill just over half of the plate. In this case, you cannot fit two parts and have to print them the slow way. :(
That makes sense. If you push into Cura from the zip folder, it opens a single stl file. Doing it 10 times will open up 10 sessions of Cura. If you unzip the files first, Cura will let you open them all in a single session.
