Where to Start?
Just built an MK3 works great, interested in MM2. I need basic information of getting started, how to design, how to convert to a gcode. I want to print a large number of items - Does this increase the print time?
Re: Where to Start?
MMU does increase the print time. off hand (I don't have one) I would say 2 minutes per color per layer. type longer. somewhere around there.
and short answer for setting up the Gcode, have each color part you want be its own stl file. you can play around in slicer pe abit. but I would say don't bother printing multicolor any higher than 25 layers. it can drive a man insane.. . ......
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Typical figurines (~40x40x40 mm) take me about 18 hours at 0.2mm heights. 5 colors.
I maintain an informal list of San Diego, CA 3D printing enthusiasts. PM me for details. If you include a contact email and I can add you to the informal mailing list.
