Presenting my first gradient vase, printed on a Geeetech A20M

[EastonNolan]

Here it is. My first color mix print! How does this work? Well, it is a feature of the Geeetech A20M (and also of the A10M and A30M) which has a 2-into-1 or "Y" nozzle and 2 extruder motors feeding it.

Via the standard firmware, Geeetech's fork of Marlin, you can:

switch between two spools of filament

set a color mix ratio, say 30% of spool 1, 70% of spool 2

define a changing color mix aka a gradient.

You can do this at any given time, even when you're in the middle of a print.

This vase was sliced normally, so the gcode has no instructions for dealing with multiple extruders, and the the gradient was configured before the start. From 100% purple & 0% pink to 0% purple & 100% pink. And this'll give you a print that starts purple at the bottom and ends up pink at the top.
