Print By Object- Saves A Metric TON Of Time!

This print is for caps for XT90 batteries to show their charge state. Green is charged, Red is discharged and Yellow is storage charge. Simple. But, I had things to do and did not want to print these 3 times, and I did not want to have hundreds and hundreds of filament changes to print 6 little items, so I utilized a "Print By Object" feature in Bambu Studio under Others > Special Mode > Print Sequence. In there you have By Layer and By Object. By layer, it will print each layer and change colors 3 times per layer. This print is 70 layers high. But, because these are smaller pieces, I could group the colors together and set them to print by Object and it will print in the sequence of colors you select on the build sheet (just click settings on your sheet you are working on). This is very handy to simplify those multi color prints that the objects are the same color, you just want to click print only one time!

 
Below is the print timelapse for 30 XT30's and 30 XT60's 10 each of red, yellow and green and they printed perfectly. Too bad I didn't see that the file was made for TPU and not a hard filament like PLA. So this batch had to be tossed, and I took the XT30's to 101% and the XT60's to 102% and they fit perfectly on the plugs now. Some people lay their batteries a certain way, some people will put rubber bands on their charged packs, I think it will be nice to have a visual to see what batteries are charged, discharged and storage charged at a glance. If I can remember to keep using them, that is LOL.

 
I don't think I'm going to make any Deans plugs since I will be converting these over to XT60's eventually, but I still have the batteries for the 150x that are a 2s balance plug design, so I decided to make those as well. This one, I can share the file since it's my own design if you can use them.
