Anyone want to try my color file?
Hello all,
I am awaiting my MM upgrade (ordered in January), and am working on some files while I wait.
It is my understanding that to do the multi-material you start with a .stl file for each color.
So, I have been working on a design that can put out 4 separate .stl files. It will be a while before I can print it, so I was wondering if there is anyone with a MMU that is itching for new 2 or 4 color files to test/print and would like to test this design.
It is customizable (can put in two different sets of initials) and I can do a 2 or 4 color version. It is a fidget spinner that is an evolution of emmett's planetary gear (with herringbone gears) with a large number of changes to make it a fun fidget toy, and printer show off item. I have printed a number of them single color, and people seem to really like them.
Anyway, if anyone would want to play with this, please let me know, I would love to see one printed.
Thanks
Aaron

I'll give it a go, my MM upgrade should arrive within the next week or two.

Yes... and no. With some slicers you are able to assign meshes to extruders and others you assign files to extruders.

Hi Aaron,
just upload it to thingiverse or send it to me directly - i´ll give it a try on my quad MM 😉 There are not many designs out there in MM so that would be another one to gain experience.
Best regards
Christian

There are a lot more than you think, especially if you assign meshes to extruders (see my earlier post).
