750 forum posts 37 photos	I have a part that only seemed to work if I printed it one at a time, but that gets old quickly. I've just found that the latest version of Cura allows you to enter print head dimensions and gantry height to determine part spacing, avoid crashes and print several parts one at a time, in the same session. Nice! Edited By Nick Hulme on 05/08/2017 20:36:27 Edited By Nick Hulme on 05/08/2017 20:37:24

750 forum posts 37 photos	This is a Nylon part which for temperature gradient reasons doesn't seem to like the conventional multi-part approach, if you have a lot of small parts to print you can save a lot of travel time using a "one at a time" strategy, Regards, Nick Edited By Nick Hulme on 05/08/2017 23:53:59

750 forum posts 37 photos	In the latest version of Cura you need to use a Custom Printer profile which will then make no assumptions about fans etc. and allows you to enter a dimension from the nozzle centre for X- (min), X+ (max), Y- (min) and y+ (max) If you have a measuring stick of uncertain providence you can always add a couple of mm for good measure
