Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

Right - I get that. Is there an official place I can make that request? Because if anything would benefit from a color mix, it'd be things printed with vase mode! Or is me talking to you about it as official as it gets and you'll forward on my feature request?

Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

I tried printing out the little tree in normal (non-vase) mode and the color mix was applied properly. So it's definitely a vase mode issue.

Now, is there somewhere that I can submit a feature request to support vase mode prints?

I understand that the color mixer likely looks for "layer changes ...

Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

I get that vase mode is not layer-based and yet I still see what looks like a valid layer count on any 3D printing software that I use, like Repetier-Host. Additionally, I still see a large number of mix changes throughout the gcode and yet they seem to be ignored. I have sliced with Cura, Slic3r ...

Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

For sure. See attached. You see tons of mix color changes throughout the g-code, so this might be an issue with the printer's firmware, perhaps?

Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

Thanks, William. You'll note that that is the exact link I included in my original post. The little app is relatively intuitive, so the use of it is not an issue. I was finally able to download the 1.1 version and the little gradient preview is helpful. Unfortunately, it still didn't print out what ...

Re: Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

To be fair, I'm using an older version of Color Mixer (I think it's the original 1.0 Beta; I downloaded it from here: https://www.geeetech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61760).

I'm using the older version because I have tried about 15 times to download the new 1.1 version from here and it is extremely ...

Mix color rendering (filament visualization) on Repetier-Host

Does anyone know how to convince Repetier-Host (PC version) to properly render the filament in the proper color when using color mixing? Specifically, it does not appear that Repetier-Host pays any attention to the M163 and M164 commands that change the color mix, but maybe I'm not using the proper ...
