ColorMixer3DPX

This is an application for three-in-one out extruders, designed for Windows 7+ to read G-code files and display them as a 3D model. Currently, color visuals assume CMY colors loaded into the three extruders. However, with some creative thinking, you can colorize the G-code extruded model layers using various tools. The result is a G-code file that includes Marlin M165 (or RepRap Firmware M567, or Repetier M163/M164) color mixing commands in an attempt to print what you create in the application. Please direct comments, suggestions, complaints, and updates to the ColorMixer3DPX Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/183039922242213/. Update 2017/10/12: Version 0.6_D is available on the FB Group page, featuring Repetier firmware support. Update 2017/09/29: Another update has been released, this time a "Duh" update. While invariantCulture was implemented for input files in v0.3, the output wasn't. This update, v0.4 CultureInvariant, solves that. Update 2017/09/28: Version 0.4 is available at the FB Group link above. New to v0.4 is an optional minimum extrusion ratio, which helps prevent clogging when unused extruder filament sits for too long near a heated hot end during print. Also, aspect ratio is fixed in the 3D window, resizing events are handled, and the tools panel on the right remains the same size regardless of window size. Update 2017/09/27: ColorMixer3DPX_v0_3_RepRapTest2.zip has been uploaded to replace the previous version. This newer version fixes a problem with selecting RepRap firmware for output. A hack for the previous version was to insert a M567 command into the G-code to cause the application to recognize it. That has been fixed in this version so that the hack is no longer needed to select and produce RepRap firmware-compatible G-code output.
