			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thanks!</p><p>Also, I&#039;ve been in a &quot;Multi-Material&quot; mindset lately...but if you simply need to print an assembly of parts in a single material, then make sure your clearances are correct in your SW assembly, then make sure the &quot;Save all components as a single file&quot; option is checked.&nbsp; This will create one STL with all of the distinct components in one file and in the correct position.</p><p>Cheers!</p>]]></content>
