multi_copy_print
Print multiple copies of a model on one build plate. Automatically arranges them in a grid with spacing, slices, and prints as a single job.
Instructions
Print multiple copies of a model arranged on one build plate.
Automatically arranges copies in a grid with spacing so they don't
overlap, slices the plate as a single job, and prints.
Uses PrusaSlicer's ``--duplicate`` flag when available (handles placement,
collision avoidance, and travel optimization). Falls back to STL mesh
duplication for OrcaSlicer or when fine control is needed.
Requires a slicer (PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer) installed locally.
The printer must be idle and connected.
Args:
model_path: Path to input model (STL, OBJ).
copies: Number of copies to print (2-20).
printer_name: Registered printer name in fleet.
printer_id: Printer model ID for auto-profile selection.
spacing_mm: Gap between copies in mm (default 10).
overrides: JSON string of slicer parameter overrides.
slicer_path: Explicit path to the slicer binary.
