Hey Guys, I'm trying to do something that I don't think has been done before. Okay... its an adaptation of MMU.V2. But I don't think it would be very hard... at least for someone with just a little more experience. Pretty much I'm hoping to crowd-source the solution to this problem. I want to try and create a multi-colour extruder that will print up to 5 (possibly more) different colours, withby Raxen - Firmware - Marlin
Okay, seems reasonable and gives me a hope to make something work... A place to start my research. My last question, would you know if this is similar for Marlin firmware? My printer natively runs Marlin and a conversion to something else may have unintended frustrations. Thanks for the help.by Raxen - Developers
Quotedc42 The new tool number may correspond the a different nozzle, or to the same nozzle with a different extruder drive, depending on the printer. Would this work if the tool change had the same extruder and same nozzle? The only difference in the tool change is the position of the filament selector (the second motor). And perhaps a different temp.by Raxen - Developers
How do specify the specific filament selection... I guess I'm a newbie. (Thus the reason for the help). Wouldn't the slicer want to have the discrete temps for the various nozzles associated with the materials, and wouldn't it be trying to use different motors to extrude... Doing all this to generate the gcode for a multi colour print.by Raxen - Developers
