HugeForge tile mode

What HugeForge tile mode is

HugeForge is a HueForge add-on for printing huge models that won’t fit on a single build plate. You split the model into N tiles, print each on its own plate, and assemble.

How the plugin handles it

When you trigger an export from HueForge’s HugeForge dialog (the 3MF Export tab appears inside it), a Save Multiple 3MF Files checkbox controls the output shape:

Save Multiple 3MF Files - unchecked (default) — one 3MF, N plates

  • The plugin produces a single 3MF.
  • That 3MF contains N plates — one per tile.
  • Each plate has the same printer profile, filament list, and tool changes; only the mesh differs.
  • Open in Bambu Studio → left plate selector shows all N tiles.
  • Open in PrusaSlicer → top plate selector shows all N tiles.

Slice each plate, send each one to the printer separately.

Save Multiple 3MF Files - checked — N separate 3MF files

  • The plugin produces N independent .3mf files.
  • Each named <project>-<tile-id>.3mf.
  • Useful when your slicer’s plate-selector UI is awkward or when you want to batch-load with drag-and-drop.

Functionally identical to the multi-plate variant; just a file-layout preference.

Where the checkbox lives

The option only appears inside the HugeForge plugin 3MF Export dialog.
