9.5 Print in color with ColorPrint
There is a simple way on how to create layer based multicolored 3D prints with our simple
ColorPrint app.
Pict. 21 Multicolored object printed with ColorPrint
ColorPrint will not work correctly if your print settings
contain hop or zlift.
The app
detects layers in gcode by tracking increase in Z height and the hop/zlift does that
multiple times in the same layer. Turn off this setting before using ColorPrint. The
preconfigured Slic3r in our drivers offers the
Original Prusa i3 MK2 ColorPrint
option in printer selection.
● First of all you need to prepare regular
gcode
with common print and filament
settings. Save the file.
● Then go to
www.prusaprinters.org
and choose
Color Print
in the header menu.
● Drag the gcode to frame and click on
Add change
button.
● Find the
height
of the layer where you want to make the color change. This can be
easily found in Slic3r under tab “Layers.” The scale along right side displays the
height of individual layers. Set this number to the box. Number of these changes is
unlimited.
● When you are done with your modification, download the file. This file is
ready
to be
printed!
