I'm trying to build a plate of various multiboard tiles and connectors. There are dozens of different models and some of them require multiple clones to be created. To say the least manually building the plates is getting a bit tedious. Is there any way to specify this in a configuration file that the slicer reads and it automatically does all the importing/cloning? I'm using OrcaSlicer but open to other options too.

Imagine a csv or json like this:

| File Path | Quantity | |

| | "4x3 Multiboard Corner Tile.3mf" | 1 | | "4x4 Multiboard Side Tile.3mf" | 2 | | "8mm - Mounting Offset Snap - DS Part A.3mf" | 4 | | "Quad Snap Connector (DS Part B) - Standard.3mf" | 1 | | ... | ... |
