the
Add...
button. In the file browser navigate to the
.STL
you wish to
load and click
Open

diagram. To print more than one copy of the model at a time select the
model name from the list and click the
More
button. With each press of
the
More
button an additional copy of the model will be added to Plater.
To remove a copy of the model select the model name again and click
Less
.
To completely remove the model from Plater select the model name and
click Delete.
Export Gcode files
Once you have finished setting your part(s) in Plater you can generate the
Gcode by clicking
Export G-Code...
. In the file browser navigate to where
you would like to save the
.gcode
file and list a name to save the file as.
Click
Save
and Slic3r will begin generating the
.gcode
file. When Slicer is
finished you will receive a prompt. If you have created a plate with multiple
model designs you can also use the
Export STL...
function to save an
.STL file for quickly reproducing the same plate of models.
