Hi, I have this unicorn on 9 squares, each 22 x 22 cm. I need to print all the squares separately, with each of the unicorn peaces. How do I do it?

What slicer are you using. Prusa slicer will probably work for your printer and has that feature built in. Best to let the slicer handle it if you can.

Hi,

I would use planes along the lines and split body.  
Then you will be able to export each body (bodies) inside a square as a separate .stl of .3mf file.
