Text as single object for slicing
I'm sure there's an answer somewhere in this forum, but I can't find it after 30 minutes of searching…
In my model (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ae4467d6048edecfa7620ce9/v/e77ed36fd16acad46f7020c2/e/9810532456b917898ce81bae?renderMode=0&uiState=6779958ecbf497539806b2f8), I think I created the embedded text properly (open to feedback here). When I export the STL for multi-filament printing, I need to separate the STL into objects and then select each letter and assign a different filament individually. Is there a way to make all the text a single part, or somehow assign it in Onshape so that I can select all text as a single object in the slicer? Just looking for a faster way to do this. Image of what I'm working on below. Thanks!

Try exporting the letters without the ant shape, this way nothing is touching them and they wont auto merge. Then you can export the ant shape separately.

Thanks. Never imported multiple STLs into the slicer to make a single object. I'll give that a shot!
