RE: Simple way to print in "Real" multi-color without MMU or layer height based changes
Posso utilizzarlo con MK4?
I've been working on creating a printer profile for the MK3, that allows to print in "real" multi-color without a MMU or any other Hardware modification.
This will allow to change the color in the middle of the layer, (not like the "ColorPrint" method where one layer was always limited to only one color)
(every print in this pic was done with only 2-5 filament changes (2 for 2 colors, 5 for 3 colors.. The colored part goes over just 2 layers)
This profile has 5 "virtual" extruders and the filament changes will be implemented via M600 as part of the "tool change".
You can actually print anything a MMU could print as well, but obviously it works best where you have only a small amount of filament changes. Everything in the above picture was printed with a 3-5 filament changes which can easily be handled manually.
I wrote full instruction for this and you can find all info + the required download on my Blog:

If you have any questions or feedback, let me know.Rainer
