Firstly awesome application!

Tried it and saw that my new .stl had very different levels of heights,

Would it be possible to try to target higher parts (with some kind of rank) in a groups or something, so when the smaller parts are done the 3d printer does not have to travel too far.

Hello,
This is a sweet idea, since I guess it would optimize the print time you finally have

I guess this could be implemented by retrieving the height from the bounding box and add a sort type in Placer.cpp

If this does get added I'd like it to be a toggle option. When doing something like ABS, having tall items a bit further apart helps them cool between layers so you don't end up with over-heated towers.
