EN: is there a way to determine the number of colored layers or the depth of colored areas?
DE:
Ich habe eine Oberfläche mittels CAD so gestaltet, dass einzufärbende Flächen eines Logos minimal ausgenommen sind (0.01mm tiefer als die Oberfläche).
Somit lassen sie sich leicht mit dem Ausfüllen-Werkzeug einfärben.
Wo oder wie lässt sich einstellen, wieviele Layer davon betroffen sind? Einserseits möchte ich möglichst wenig Filamentwechsel machen, andererseits ist z.B. weiß so durchscheinend, dass es mindestens 4 x 0.2mm braucht, um deckend zu sein.
Habe noch keine Möglichkeit gefunden. Wäre für jeden Tipp dankbar.
It is possible to work out which individual layers are coloured from the preview in Bambu Studio - and going up and down the layers using the arrow keys.
For more advanced stats it would be possible to write some code to analyse the generated gcode to produce whatever stats are required.
I’ve already produced a few scripts to analyse layer by layer colour changing and flushing which I will release at some point and could probably add in some stats too.
Thanks for you reply.
Yes, it easy to see which layers are colored but it is very important to define it by my self for best results. As mentioned above I want to prevent too many filament changes and ensure sufficient opacity.
I printed some parts with default settings and got three layers of depth. Not sufficient for white PLA with black infill underneath. This should be user definable.
Oh i see - i guess you are talking about something the auto calculate of flush volumes where the slicer knows to take into account the different opacities of the overlapping layers.
I had this problem with one of my published models where it worked well with only one layer of one brand of white filament - but colours of other layers bled through more with different brands of white
I found out, that the shell thickness seems to influence the number of colored layers. I couldn’t get more that 5 colored layers, which should be ok for most colors with low opacity.
