Re: Using the right feed

I think I get it. I'll have a play around and see what spits out.

My original question was about how to print different models using the different spools, then when I got that to seem to work, the TPU (right hand spool) wasn't coming out the extruder but the correct feeder was turning. So I guess ...

Re: Using the right feed

I'm a little confused.

Re: Using the right feed

I wasn't trying to print TPU and PLA at the same time.

I wanted to have the two reels setup so that I could print different models in different plastics without going through the whole swapping procedure.

The only difference was that I was using TPU in the right instead of PLA, even though it suggests the same heat settings would that ...

Re: Using the right feed

Hi vert,

Thanks for the reply, I had a look at the link in your signature but couldn't see about the mixing bit.

Is there any other slicer that would do this easier?

I'm running a Linux mint setup.

Thanks,

Marty

Using the right feed

Hi,

I am new to this and I bought an A10M with twin filament single mixing extruder.

I have two different materials in the left and right.

Now I want to be able to select one or the other for different models.

I tried by switching extruders from 1 to 2 but the extruder didn't head (although the ...
