8 Printing in Single mode with one extruder
Features like Smooth Variable Layer Height or finer print settings are not yet available in
Multi Material mode yet. But they can be used in Single mode with just one extruder
enabled. It makes the printer basically bowden version of MK2.
Simply launch
Prusa3D Slic3r MK2
where additional printer config is available as
“MK2
MultiMaterial single mode”
.
When printing g-code generated like this, printer will ask you which extruder should be used
to print the object.
WARNING: The g-codes generated for normal MK2/MK2S will either not work at all or
produce very poor results. They need to be generated again.
8.3 Using web Color Print app
Slice the object as you are used to in Multi Material Single mode. Load the gcode into
http://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print/
and select Multi Material.
You can add color changes as you are used to, but you will be able to select to which
extruder printer will switch.
After downloading the .gcode, you need to use Multi Material Post Processor app to
generate wipe tower.
Please note, all used colors need to be the same material.
