Support for mixing hot-ends..
So, I have an M3d Quad that supports 4 filament mixing in the hot end and I want to have PrusaSlicer support this better than it does right now. I have it all working via custom G-Code but I'd like things to be a little more "automatic" and idiot proof...
To that end, I've forked my own repository to play with and have done some of the updates to make this work.
Assuming total success :-), is this something I should branch into the base PrusaSlicer environment?
RE: Support for mixing hot-ends..
Here's the first update.. this is even usable since the new "extruder_mix_ratio[]} vector variable is available to the custom g-code so you don't need to do g-code updates to change color
RE: Support for mixing hot-ends..
This is a great idea.
I have a 3-in-1-out printer and currently set the mix in the start gcode, your way looks a far better solution allowing for many more colour variations to be added quickly and easily.
Can you tell me how/where I can download this please, if it is available? (Sorry - I tried searching github but couldn't see it anywhere).

So, I'm working on this.. it's a work in progress right now. works with reprapFirmware GCode flavor (I have an M3D quad). it's an early Alpha release with minimal checking .
It's a Fork off of SuperSlicer called SuperSlicerMx. it's at http://gitHub.com/nanoplane/SuperSlicerMx/rekeases..
I'm working on adding a basic document to the release later today that will discuss the "features" and how to use them and a little of what's coming next.

OOps, bad URL... here's the correct one: SuperSlicerMx
