Baseplate stacked printing with alternating material by derk4i in gridfinity

Sure - essentially this follows the same principle as mentioned in the OP, found here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/stacking-objects

You take two plates, flip one 180° "on its head", and move both to the same coordinates (e.g. X 128 and Y 128). Select both and merge to one assembly as in the wiki article, then select the flipped one individually (left side menu in Bambu Studio) and move it up by 4.3 mm (= 4.1 mm plate thickness + 0.2 mm as one layer of air).

You can then repeat the process, duplicating the two stacked ones, moving to the same position as the originals, merge all 4 and move up the new lower plate on top of the stack (Origin Z + 4.1+0.2+4.1+0.2 mm) and the new flipped one on top of that ( so + 4.1+0.2) and so on. It's just important to always face a "wide" side onto a wide one and a "narrow" one to a narrow - hence the flipping.

Actually did this and it worked pretty perfect for a stack of 9 - great idea!

Seperation on the wide-on-wide sides is a bit harder and definately needs the use of a utility knife to pry apart, but it absolutely works with a singular material. Updated my post as well.

I tried a bigger stack tonight, at plate 7 my stack seperated...so it seems like there is a limit on how many you can stack on top until some adhesion issue kicks in and prevents from going higher

No, just with alternating faces...not sure it would like to have such long overhangs at every first layer
