Gradient doesnt work properly

Post by CKTHERUGGEDMAN » Sun May 03, 2020 7:08 pm

Hi everybody,

im a little bit desperate with the Gradient on the A20M. So i joined this Forum. Sorry for starting direct with a Problem. Maybe i can help later on other topics.

Everything I print in gradient mode has no real gradient. For example a tower. One side has color 1, one side color 2. The other two sides have a mix. So the course goes around the tower and not from the bottom up.

I tried all possible settings in cura. Regardless of whether it is set on the printer itself or via Color MIxer. Always the same.

Other example a shark (quick print on cost on quality....). One side silver, one side blue.

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my printer or my settings? Any ideas what to do?

Many thanks in advance for your help

Hi William,
thanks for the quick reply. Is that really normal? Cant belive... I already seen pictures of nice printed gradients on a A20m. But never with me.

If its normal, it shouldnt be advitised with gradients. One side color 1, one side color 2 and the other sides a little mix wich is not evenly. But it seems to work for others. I would bet there where much more complains on the gradient. (i found nothing for this theme)

Its nice to have 2 colors, so i dont need to change them so often. But the function of mixing colors is senseless in the case, that this is normal. Its not possible to mix 2 colors to get another one (50:50). It looks exactly like the gradient on the pictures in my post.

It would be nice if you can inform me, when there is a solution.

It also would be nice, if somebody have some nice gradients printed with the A20M und could post a picture with settings.

Thanks in advance
Corvin
