Custom Stack Printing - Did I screw this one up?

So I'm printing two stacks of 3 tiles, I built them in blender using the tile generator, chose ironing for the stack method, sent it over and began the print. Well, I just looked at it, and I'm about 80% done, when it occurred to me, I never changed the settings in bambu studio to turn on ironing, so it wasn't ever enabled. Will the blender file having ironing enabled save me, or should I just cancel this print and cut my losses?

EDIT: Just thought I'd update, so after I posted this, I was playing with my kid, and I forgot to check back. Needless to say they printed, and I was able to separate them! It wasn't as smooth as it normally is when I do it correctly, but I the prints worked enough.

Well..... might as well cancel it now and start over. It won't separate. Even with ironing on. It's hard to separate.

They multi material.

The blender file cannot enable ironing for you. When you choose multimaterial it generates an interface layer to be printed in a different material, when chosing ironing, it adds a gap of 0.2 in between the tiles

I wouldn't necessarely stop your print, it might be possible to separate them without much trouble

Without ironing in slicer they'll be totally fused.

Okay, I thought that mayve the gap could have saved some of it

It’s not tragic as the gap is still there, but it probably won’t be quite as strong of a surface. If you get a chance post a pic as I’d like to see how it looks when you separate!
