--min-save
Output Orca SlicerBambu Studio
Strip the model mesh and other static content from the exported 3MF, writing only the sliced G-code, plate settings, and thumbnails to produce a smaller print-ready archive that cannot be reopened as an editable project.
Details
Writes the output 3MF at minimum size by skipping the model mesh and other large static content while keeping the per-plate G-code. A normal export stores the full triangulated geometry, the per-object and per-volume metadata keyed to it, and auxiliary data; with --min-save that static payload is omitted and only the sliced G-code (plus plate settings and thumbnails) is written.
Examples
Smaller output
--export-3mf out.gcode.3mf --min-save model.3mfWatch out for
- ▲ The slimmed 3MF is print-ready but not an editable project: reopening it in the GUI shows an empty scene because the geometry was never written. Keep your source project separately, since the mesh cannot be recovered from the output.
- ▲ A downstream tool that inspects the 3MF for mesh bounds or object metadata will find those fields absent.
