Best Slicer for multiple extruders/colors?
March 17, 2016 02:52PM
I am debating between using a RAMPS or a MKS BASE.

I am looking to use the diamond extruder and need to know a good slicing program. I can not seem to find the option in cura for multi-extruder/filament. Any help would be great. Thanks

I am quite happy with simplify 3d for this purpose.

Thanks, I will look into it. I was hoping to find a free open source like Cura. I will see if Simplify 3d can offer a trial version. Thanks

slic3r handles multiple filaments, and I have used it successfully for two-colour prints in the past. Unfortunately the recent versions of slic3r crash for me (and several others) at the slightest provocation, and there seems to be no sign of this being fixed. So I switched to S3D.
