In this way, pieces of various colours or materials can be printed. gcode files ready for the user to change the printer filament at the right time. The simplest method is to use the Lamination Software to generate. In this article we will explain two of them: To solve this problem, there are several solutions depending on the user's needs and the complexity of the part. Image 1: 3D printed vase with Fillamentum and Mosaic Palette filaments. Most desktop FDM 3D printers have only one extruder, so the user "loses" the option of combining several filaments for example when printing complex parts using one construction filament and one support filament or in case the part requires to integrate several colors. Then we’ll see how to shorten the time of a print, or change the characteristics during processing.Many users of 3D printing with FDM technology have asked this question at some point. This is the first article in a series where I will try to illustrate the functions of this powerful slicer arrived today at version 4.0. Material known for its difficulties in case of temperature changes. This will be an important step especially in all those cases in which we will make prints in ABS. After generating the gcodes for printing we also see how to intervene to ensure that the printer remains with the extruder and the plane in temperature. We can decide at what height to set the temporary stop of the print to be able to change the filament and then continue with a new color. The process is based on the Simplify 3D feature of being able to divide the prints into individual processes, giving us the opportunity to intervene on every aspect of the printing process. These, printed one after the other, will result in a single print like the one in the picture on the left.

In the case described in the video below we will divide our subject into two distinct sections, from which will be generated two separate gcodes.

The guide I’m going to illustrate is made with Simplify 3D, software that allows us to create multiple processes for a single print. This is not entirely true because with a minimum of effort and work in the “slicing” phase we can have multiple color prints with ease. Having a 3D printer with a single extruder, in theory, forces us to create objects with a single color, if we do not proceed to the filament change in progress.
