I also make an integration script, which <use>s the part/assembly scripts to place them in their intended positions to render the complete model. I don't print this, but I've recently found it useful to give to other participants to plan work. I have done similar like when designing a new hotend, I first build all the parts and show them as assembled in the viewer. Then 1 var at the top triggers a disassembly and repositions the parts on the build plate and to bottom=0 for simultaneous printing of the whole thing.  Fits my mental work flow better.  IWFM.  ;<)> > I'm using o3dv to make a viewer website for them to do their regarding, would like to put a single 3mf file with all the individual meshes from the integration script in the viewer, where it has a mesh list and tools to toggle their visibility. So, the lazy- union export to 3mf behavior of one mesh for each individual render is needed. Giving the individual meshes descriptive names instead of "OpenSCAD Model #" would also be helpful. > > Thanks, > Glenn Butcher > > > On March 12, 2026 12:51:33 AM MDT, Jordan Brown <openscad@jordan.maileater.net> wrote: >>  >>> but i do want to point out that single- part 3d printing isn't the only CAD use case. >> Of course.
