printing multiple colours

Post by lexis200 »

Hi all,

Is it possible to use the A30 to print 2 or more colours on one print job similar to the A20M, and if so, can anyone point me to a guide or instructions please?

Thanks

Hi.
:mrgreen:

You can use multiple colors. But don't get a gradient.

Simply pause while printing and replace the filament with a different color. :D

Thanks Kaktus.

So not as easy as the A20M then!

I found this, https://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print/, and as I'm using the Slic3r Prusa edition, I think this should work.

So if people print out a multi-coloured print, how do they do it? Just paint the model, or some other magic way I haven't discovered yet?

Ha, you can see.
Everyone is limited only by his imagination. :D

Painting is good too.

Let your imagination run wild and surprise the whole world :!:
