The coloring in BBLS gets converted to gcode. It won’t recognize coloring in the file formats it imports I don’t think.
What you can do is create multi-part assemblies of model parts, then simply chose a filament for each part. To do this, you will need to have multiple solid bodies in your STEP file. Does this make sense?
I’ve used this code since you did your first post. It is great.
I’m curious, how does this work with the ‘experimental’ “long retraction before cut” feature…Does it make that feature redundant?
Hey, I just came across this post and was wondering how well it would work with the X1C. I have one right now and attempting to do some miniature prints but the time to switch between PLA and support makes the time crazy and im trying to find some solutions. So I am wondering if this code has been tried on a X1C and if there are any unforeseen issues that could arise when utilizing this code. As a side note as well I read through the TPU bit and now that there is a bambu labs TPU for AMS if this code would work with that too. Any information would be appreciated, and it is a pleasure to read through this. Thank you.
I have used a X1C to test it
@DzzD - and anyone else contributing to faster filament changes - thank you! I’m testing this on my A1 and when it does a filament change, right before it ejects the filament, there’s a new noise, ‘t-t-t-tick, t-t-t-tick, t-t-t-tick’. sounds like something is ratcheting? is this what others are experiencing? i’m concerned that i might be harming my printer. thanks, all!
