i know this seems like a really weird request, but i'd like to see a feature to let us print multiple parts on top of each other. i'm printing rubber drive tracks out of ninja-flex, and i can only fit one at a time comfortably on the bed. what i've been doing is combining the stl's so the track is twice as wide, but if kisslicer had a check box to stack the stl's on top of each other directly, it would be really handy for me.

...Just stacking them in your CAD modeler ?

that's what i've been doing, but it's an extra couple of steps, cause you have to save as assembly and add the next part, and then save the whole assembly as a part, and then open the part and save as stl. and if you make any changes to the part you have to repeat the whole process. not too big of a deal but it might be handy for some things. (and it will be really useful when SLS printers become more common and we can pack parts in 3D!)

Can you just add another plane and then mirror or copy the part onto the plane? Seems like a faster way to stack than creating an assembly

mirror! that's an awesome idea. i will totally do that. thanks

The build isn't posted yet, but I just added rudimentary vertical stacking to KISSlicer. It was fairly easy to do (under the right-click mesh transforms sub-menu), so I just put it in. Let me do a bit of testing, then I'll release it into the wild. It's not fancy; you enter some values then it builds the modified mesh.
