4.1.2 Slicing profiles
Print profiles for 150um and 200um are preconfigured in the Slic3r PE for Multi Material.
Lower layer heights are not available yet, only when using single mode discussed in chapter
8 Printing in Single mode with one extruder
.
Additional print settings and materials can be used on the
Multi Material in single extruder
mode.
Just install normal MK2 from Drivers package (when selection Original Prusa i3 MK2
Multi Material, everything is automatically pre selected) and select Multi Material Single
Mode from printer options. This will allow you to use Variable Layer Height and 100 um and
lower layer heights. The printer is as capable as regular MK2/MK2S in this mode so it can
print flexible materials etc without problems.
4.2 Multi Material post processor
Multi Material post processor is an application to generate Smart Wipe Tower and filament
switching into the g-code file for the MMU equipped printer. G-code generated with Multi
Material Slic3r already has those, (since drivers release v1.7.8.2) so post processor is not
needed, however
when using ColorPrint g-code needs to be processed
. Post Processor
will be also needed in the future to process g-codes from other slicing engines like
Simplify3D. Official support for 3rd party slicers hasn’t been released yet.
