Also try upping retraction to 1mm (reduced stringing, if that's an issue) and .1-.2 mm of negative extra length on restart (reduced blobbing).

Turns out there is a way to convince slic3r to print objects in _your_ order.

On the right side of the plater tab there is a list of objects. It appears slic3r obligingly prints these in order top to bottom. Shazam .

Simply add your objects to the plater, click the arrange button and away you go!

This should solve my problems. The 1 at a time results are far superior to the 4 at a time results.

I vaguely recall arranging a bunch of things-to-print on the grid, then having Slic3r go "Wooga!" and rearrange them when I added a thing I'd forgotten. Might have had auto-arrange checked or (more likely) perpetrated a finger fumble, and it probably didn't change the list on the side, but ... check twice, print once, every time!

Dude, cast those in resin. Hands down.

I've considered something like that... but frankly don't know/have that capability. Trying to brute force it out with something that's mostly working.

Having said that, can you give me a pointer on how I might go about giving casting a good evaluation?

Thanks.

Send me the STL ... I do a lot of casting and can give you a quick yay/nay on if it's beginner friendly.
