I was wondering when you download a print lets say from maker world and i was made to print in pla but i want to print it in petg, how do i do that or is it even possible.
I tried to day and when i tried to pick petg from my ams instead of the default pla it wouldnt let me?
That should work fine, unless you had the cold plate selected.
Yes, will work easily. You have to select PETG in your slicer and slice the model, then you should be able to select it in AMS.
Another way to start a new project is to only import the geometry without all the profile settings from the publisher. One way to do this is:
Open an existing project that has the printer, plate, filament and process settings that you intend to use.
Add the new object using the Add [Ctrl+I] button on the left of the top toolbar.
Select “Import geometry only”
Delete the first object.
The imported object will inherit all the settings from the first one.
I think i did that but didnt work . i will try again. maybe im wrong dont remember 100%
thanks for response
thanks i will try that next time .
New to 3D printing and been trying to figure out how to change the filament type on an existing project. This was spot on and worked great.
Should be a setting in your slicer program to change filament along with a lot of other options.
Another way, in the slicer, select the object (left click) on the plate and then right-click. At the bottom of the popup that appears should be “change filament”. That will allow you to pick any filament you have on-line.Then, slice and send to printer, and you should be able to pick your PETG from wherever it is loaded.
I assume there is a way to select every object on the plate, but so far I haven’t needed it.
