![]() I think this is really a feature that just isn't working as expected. Simplify 3D and other slicers have a "place part" function. You also can't elevate (float) the part by manually entering a Z position in the Position box. It works the same way with a single part. Is this a bug, am I doing it wrong, or is this a feature? I can move it in X and Y, but Z always snaps the object to the plater. I click on the Move icon to drag the currently selected object. I assumed it was an error myself early on. That module does the "plating" (arrangement) for you. ![]() Plater is a software that can generate the plate for you, it can import STL files, with quantity and orientation, and it will try to create puzzle the parts to create at least plates as possible, given some parameters sucha as plate dimensions, parts spacing etc. A 2014 Hackaday article provides some background: I believe it has to do with the idea of placing objects to be printed on a plate so they can all be sliced into common layer gcode commands. Slic3r has a tool, called Plater, which allows one or more models to be loaded and arranged before being sliced. The name actually originated with Slic3ron which PrusaSlicer is based. Posted by: have two objects on the 'plater', I assume this means 'platen'.
