Slic3r
Turn o “Auto-center Parts” in Preferences to position parts where desired.
On the right-hand side is the list of currently loaded les. The buttons
along the top of the le list allow you to arrange the models.
• More/Less - Adjust how many copies should be printed.
• 45°/Rotate - Rotate the selected model around the Z axis, either in
45° increments clockwise or counter-clockwise, or by a given amount.
• Scale - Increase or decrease the size of the printed model.
• Split - Divides a model which consists of more than one part into it’s
constituent parts, allowing each one to be arranged individually.
• View/Cut - Provides a 3D view.
The buttons along the bottom of the le list allow you to add, remove,
auto-arrange, or export the models.
• Add - Opens a le dialog to add a model to the plater, as an
alternative to dropping a le directly.
• Delete/Delete All - Remove one or all models from the plater.
• Autoarrange - Attempt to arrange the models to give the optimal
layout.
• Export G-code - Starts slicing the model and produces a G-Code le.
• Export STL - Save the current set of models as a single STL le.
Cleaning STLs
If the 3D mesh described in the model contains holes, or edges are
misaligned (known as being non-manifold), then Slic3r may have problems
working on it. Slic3r will attempt to x any problems it can, but some
problems are out of its reach. If the application complains that a model
cannot be sliced correctly then there are several options available: see the
chapter about Repairing Models.
