[FR] Cut tool with dovetail joint modification
̶П̶о̶ч̶е̶м̶у̶ в слайсерах отсутствует резка крупногабарита из коробки: намечаешь плоскость, выбираешь размер кривой, тип замков (пазл, ласточкин хвост, лего и тд.), размерность (1d - один рез(на две детали), 2d - рез по принципу пазла, 3d - рез по принципу лего), тип фиксации (клеевой, под штифты, под метизы) печать реза осуществляется как внешний контур (повышается прочность соединения - так как вдоль всего слоя соединения одна линия) экономия времени монотонной работы в сапр если модель не влазит в слайсер (с компенсацией усадки) возможность вращения отдельного блока модели (для чистовых поверхностей - если до этого не додумаются) возможность смены материалов для разных блоков возможность раздельного сохранения нарезанных блоков (+ версии слайсера и параметров нарезки) и тд.
Even if it is difficult to translate, text and ideas are structured strangely. Can you translate it into English and enhance your ideas with some pictures, please? Thanks
why there is no cutting of large size out of the box in slicers: you outline the plane, choose the size of the curve, the type of locks (puzzle, dovetail, lego, etc.), dimension (1d - one cut (for two parts), 2d - cut according to the puzzle principle, 3d - cut according to the Lego principle), type of fixation (adhesive, for pins, for hardware) the cut is printed as an external contour (the strength of the connection increases - since there is one line along the entire connection layer) saving time of monotonous work in CAD if the model does not fit into the slicer (with shrinkage compensation) the ability to rotate a separate block of the model (for finishing surfaces - if they don’t think of it before) the ability to change materials for different blocks the ability to save sliced blocks separately (+ slicer versions and slice parameters) etc.

I think what he means is that I can split objects that are larger than the print bed into several parts with one click. In addition, the separated layer should have a toothing so that you can put them together again afterwards. Funnily enough, I just had the same idea, which would be perfect if you have large objects. At the moment I do it all myself in the CAD program.
It would be important to first align the object, generate support if necessary, and then cut it.

I have to admit -- that'd be pretty awesome. Even to have that capability as a separate tool would be great -- the inclusion of joinery is key.

Looks like it coming to 2.6 🧐
Using 2.6 beta1 has 2 options for making connectors. I'm looking at the same idea of dove-tails. I'm trying to print a large thin object and dowels won't work in my case. Since (in my case) the object is flat and slim, Adding a cut with dovetails would be awesome.
Here's an example of what the cut may look like.
PrusaSlicer 2.6.1 now has dovetail joints. Is it possible to add more than 1 dovetail joint to a cut for larger pieces? Or is there another way of cutting a large piece into quarters and have a dovetail joint on each side?
@mfraser did you find a solution to multiple dovetail joints?

No, haven't tried for a while.
