Geeetech

Every single one I've tried is too short and I have to extend them and they tend to not work for crap. Trying to find one that uses a 40mm fan at an angle and mounts to the existing 40mm holes as the side blow fan with a single direction duct has proven to be total garbage.

Worked perfectly! 20200307_070945.png Here's the bottoms of the two, you can't see it all that great in the pictures but the line and line spacing quality seems better with verts also. 20200307_070918.png 20200307_070909.png Here's snippets of the gcode for this file: Lines 28-33 M163 S0 P1.00 M163 ...

Sleeves are on my list to try... The Anet A8 has been amazing since I put a 6 nozzle on it and a higher watt hot end element. So far it looks like verts is going to do the trick, the mixer menu shows the virtual tools and gradients from tool to tool numbers per my M166 on step one, waiting for step ...

Ok, I've tried multiple variations of M163/M164 and M166 orderings and I can never get it to do more than 1 gradient and when it hits the second M166 tool gradient it will just repeat the first one again... Really annoying. Guess I'm just going to write my own little program to write out M165's and ...

Slic3r (I use PrusaSlicer) has a feature where you can have a wipe tower at a different Z height than your object (less waste) and only wipe on color changes. I haven't tried that yet, but for full height wipe towers it just builds a framework until it gets to a color change layer and then does brid...

Hard color changes work great. I've printed a few really nice things so far using all three and a wipe tower. Adding the color mixer is where things break, which I also checked the gcode since the items I've tried it on are supposed to start at layer 1 but always start at 25 for some reason... yep, ...

Nope, tower didn't work either...

With how simple the program is, I can't see how it could mess up anything. My best theory as to what went wrong was the other color wasn't primed through the nozzle and when the color swapped, it left a void. One thing you can check is to open the produced g-code in a slicer program that lets you v...

I've tried using the color mixer and it has resulted in multiple weak or outright failed prints with some printing in midair. Are there certain settings I should be using with this? Do I have to increase my feed rates to compensate for it? Zero retractions? Why is this thing even a separate program ...
