HOW

TO

How

to

print

dual

colour

parts?

Firstly,

you

need

to

adjust

the

two

nozzles

at

the

same

level

before

double

colour

printing

(Follow

the

previous

method).

1

Load

the

model

into

Software,

and

then

right

‐

click

model,

choose

"Dual

extrusion

merge".

2

Then

you

can

set

parameters

for

the

main

nozzle

and

vice

nozzle.
