I have read a few different post with the same problem.
I bring two items into Cura 4.2.1 and assign extruder 0 to one part, and extruder 1 to the other part.
I select both parts, merge, then slice.
When I preview the part, it only indicates 1 extruder as doing the hole part.
When I go into the printer manager , under machine settings, in the G-Code start up window, I add the following :
M163 E0 P1.00; Set Left to 100%
M163 E1 P0.00; Set Right to 0%
M164 E0; Save Mix
M163 E0 P0.00; Set Left to 0%
M163 E1 P1.00; Set Right to 100%
M164 E1; Save Mix
I then resliced my part again, and got the same results.
I then loaded the g-code into my A20M 3Dprinter.
It printed great, until it got to the color change.
The hot end lifted , moved to the far front left, paused for about 20 seconds.
Then went into thermal failure.
I printed other mono colored items and it worked.
I tested the extruders work because I tested them independently.
I checked and made sure all my extruder settings are the same.
Any body got an Idea that My fix my problem?
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Color mix problem
Re: Color mix problem
I think it should be S0, S1 S2...etc instead of E0
M163 S0 P1.0
M163 S1 P0.0
M164 S0 ; set T0 mixing ratio to full right
M163 S0 P0.0
M163 S1 P1.0
M164 S1 ; set T1 mixing ratio to full left
M163 S0 P0.5
M163 S1 P0.5
M164 S2 ; set T2 mixing ratio to even mix
M163 S0 P1.0
M163 S1 P0.0
M164 S0 ; set T0 mixing ratio to full right
M163 S0 P0.0
M163 S1 P1.0
M164 S1 ; set T1 mixing ratio to full left
M163 S0 P0.5
M163 S1 P0.5
M164 S2 ; set T2 mixing ratio to even mix
