So I have an item I am printing. It consists of two objects and a 3 color print.
Item one is black
Item two is half yellow half white (basically the ABS yellow I have is semi transparent so I have to back it with white to make it brighter.
I place item 2 in the center of plate, then center Item 1 as well. So it will be a black circle with this yellow icon that is backed with white. I assemble these two objects as one.
Common issue if no CAD program is used.
The slicer has to merge the three parts somehow.
If the black ‘cap’ is cut for the other two pieces the slicer is fine with that.
But if the white and yellow overlap it is common they get combined, resulting in a single piece in one colour instead of two individual pieces.
Not 100% sure how to address this properly in Studio.
I subtract what is to be embedded, place all parts in the CAD program and export them as STL files.
This way the slice gets three individual objects in the correct place and order by default.
If not done already cut the yellow and white as required so there won’t be an overlap.
Create an assembly from all three parts and adjust the settings for them in the object tab.
Should work but as said, I don’t really use Studio for that.
Is it the first color missing from the prime tower? On the first layer the first color is skipped at the prime tower and the second color is the first on the prime tower. The first color gets “primed” during the test strip that lays down at the front of the build plate.
If the first color is more than the first layer thick, the first color should see the prime tower sometime during the 2nd layer on the model.
