I would be interested in the reverse, translating an STEP file into OpenSCAD.

I I've this idea. In Customizer they use a similar model, using 'part' as the parameter and re-rendering for each value of 'part'. If OpenSCAD had a 'render parts to...

Perhaps like animation frames?

Sorry I was too cryptic. You're right that animation and writing multiple STL files are different use cases, but in both cases (IMO) it's OpenSCAD rendering repeatedly, with one variable...

@kintel @maxerbubba you can output a single STL containing multiple, non-unioned parts now. The problem is that all slicers union them before slicing. If what you really want is multiple...

I can think of two ways to do it: 1) Use a 'magic variable' to walk through the parts to generate, writing an STL out for each value of part....

Looks like it might be in Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.4.1 , which has faster and better 'arrange' than previously.

I would love this. The core engine is awesome, but adding files one at a time via a GUI destroys productivity, and the point of automation is productivity. I would...
