single extruder, multi color setup
Hi all,
I recently found a manual on how to make multi color prints with single extruder without modifying gcode after slicing.
Basically tricking the printer it has 2 extruders + single extruder, multi material.
But when I slice the model, I see M600 at the beginning and right before printer starts to print first model (color), it will ask for a color change, even if the filament is inserted.
I did not find a setting to eliminate this in the slicer (I'm not super expert).
Does anyone know how to skip it or why it's here?
Would like to avoid editing gcode file after slicing if possible.
Thanks
RE: single extruder, multi color setup
There is no setting to turn that off. The slicer can not know that you are starting with the correct filament loaded. So it forces a load. People just usually just remove that line from the file manually or they use one of the post processing options if they want. Or just start the print and deal with it.
Much discussion and options here:
