Multi color pla test with 2 ams on H2D

After 2000 satisfied printing hours I have finally found a need to use my H2D for it’s specific design capabilities using both extruders with 2 x AMS.

But so far nothing seems to work, tried to google tutorials and our friend Gemini still says the H2D does not exist :smile: .

I am printing a scaled teak deck for one of my projects. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Right now I have modelled a solid deck with seam cavities and the fitting seam lines.

I am trying to print a desert sand teak with black lines faced on the build plate for the nice texture.

As the model is 2,2M long (fully printed on the H2D), the seams are 0,4mm wide, is that to narrow?

It should be easy to do a multi color print right, so why can’t I figure this out??

Have you looked at the bottom, it looks like you seams are there.

Yes they are there but I can’t seem to assign the left extruder to it. I import both files as one object and than assign colors but the slicer won’t assign the black lines.

Try changing the wall generator to arachne.

The black lines are too narrow to be sliced with a .4x line width and the “classic” wall generator (looks like they’re ~0.41mm wide?). If you change all the line widths to 0.4 or smaller (or switch to a 0.2 nozzle), the black will show up in the sliced result. Or use Arachne, as already suggested.

Ah I thought you could even go thinner, my bad

Fantastic, to the point and action! Thank you very much! Anyone that can shed some light on the thinnest and usable flooring I can print, for example is it doable to print thin sheet of only 2 layers or is it better to use a certain thickness? I will do some testing but a running start could help :smile: .

Will post the results later on!

I like it!
