🖨️ Single vs. Sequential Printing

If you’ve already learned how to organize objects on the print bed, you might be able to use two different print methods on the same bed.

This technique is especially useful when we want to save time during color changes.

👉 For example:
✅ If some parts share the same colors at the same height, and other parts also share the same colors at a different height, we can print them separately instead of all at once.

This means the printer will:
1️⃣ Print the first set of objects at the front of the bed.
2️⃣ Pause, move to the back, and print the second set automatically—without you having to do anything!

🔹 How to Enable Sequential Printing

1️⃣ Go to the print settings menu (next to the print bed).
2️⃣ Find the last option at the bottom (a diamond-shaped icon 🔷).
3️⃣ Click it and change the "Print Schedule" setting:

• Default: "Same as global eBay layers" (prints everything together).
• Change it to: "By Object" (prints one set of objects first, then the next).

⚠️ Important Things to Check

📌 When you change this setting, you will see a large frame appear around your objects.
🔹 This frame ensures that the printer head won’t hit other objects while printing in phases.
🔹 It’s very important to check that all objects fit within this safe zone.

👉 What to do next:
✅ Reposition the objects on the print bed to ensure they don’t interfere with each other.
✅ Use the Print Preview to check the print head’s path.
✅ Make sure the printer won’t accidentally hit previously printed objects.

🎯 Final Thoughts

✅ If done correctly, sequential printing can save time and reduce unnecessary filament changes!
✅ Always double-check the preview to ensure the print head moves correctly.
✅ Once everything looks good, send the print and watch the magic happen! ✨

🚀 Half the objects will print in the first phase, and the rest in the second! 🖨️🎨
