There are four versions: * OrderTagRU - tag in Russian with the word Order * SpartaTagRU - tag in Russian with the word Sparta * OrderTagEN - tag in English with the word Order * SpartaTagEN - tag in English with the word Sparta Tutorial for the Multicolor Print Using Any Printer: It may sound strange, but every 3D printer is capable of layer-based multicolor print by splitting the generated GCode file into multiple files. Each file represents a color. GCode files contain instructions for the printer such as movement of motors or temperature of heatbed. Never change any value in the GCode if you don't know the result. - Firstly, download Slic3r or Prusa Edition to see the comment ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE in the GCode file. These comments are added by Slic3r and determine where the new layer is being changed. - Secondly, slice your file using Slic3r then open the generated file in a text editor such as Notepad. Look for the comment ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE followed by the XX.X where XX.X is the desired layer. For example, you want to print the first 2mm of the model in one color and the rest in another color at 0.2mm resolution. Open the generated GCode file and look for: ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE ;2.2 You just found the place where to split the GCode file! - Now, copy the lines of GCode into a separate file and modify the GCode. The last line before the comment ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE tells the printer to move in the Z axis. To simplify the process of filament replacement, recommend increasing that value a bit. For example: [BEGIN] ... ... G1 E-0.04000 F2100.00000 G1 Z2.600 F10800.000 ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE ;2.2 G1 X107.365 Y144.542 G1 Z2.200 ... So, split the GCode into two files and modify the Z position in the first file to make filament change easier. part1.gcode: [BEGIN] ... ... G1 E-0.04000 F2100.00000 G1 Z52.600 F10800.000 ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE ;2.2 part2.gcode: G1 Z2.600 F10800.000 ;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE ;2.2 G1 X107.365 Y144.542 G1 Z2.200 ... - Lastly, print the split files and voila! You have your multicolor print. Recommendations and Warning: Watch your printer during the first multicolor print. I have no responsibility for possible damage to your print.
