Slic3r
Printing Multi-material Objects
If a multi-material AMF file already exists, because the CAD program can
export such a format, then this can be loaded into Slic3r in the usual way.
The mapping between object materials and extruders is sequential, i.e. the
first material is assigned to the first extruder, etc.
Generating multi-material AMF files
Slic3r has the feature to combine multiple STL files into a multi-material
AMF file.
• Split the original design into the separate parts within the CAD
program, and export each part as STL.
• Within Slic3r, choose
Combine multi-material STL files...
from
the
File
menu.
• When prompted with a file dialog, choose the first STL, which will
be assigned the first material (and hence the first extruder). Click
Open
to be prompted for the next STL, and so on until each STL is
assigned a material. To signal there are no more STL files, choose
Cancel
.
• The following file dialog prompts for the location and name of the
AMF file.
Once generated the file can be loaded and printed as described above.
