    I’m with you, but is it possible this helps in some way with nozzle movement that might not be easily visible? Just trying to figure out why it would even consider this placement.

      If I reduce the count one it will arrange them in a neat grid, albeit with one row shorter than the other. And there is an element of randomness, if you click the arrange button again it will sometimes place the outlier on the other side.

      I have no idea what the fuck its thought process is.

      You have the right idea! The slicer takes all printhead movements into account and likely shaves off a fraction of the total print time by positioning one object like this.

    They all printed ok with no interference between the parts. All parts are perfectly usable when they are removed from the print bed.

    Why does it matter that they’re not in perfectly straight rows and columns?

    Please note that the traveling salesman problem is NP hard, so the auto-arrange algorithm will never aim for a “perfect”/ fastest arrangement. It just ensures that the parts have a minimum distance to each other while keeping them as close as possible to the center of the build plate
