<p><strong>This is a 4-colored nozzlebox and you can print it on any 3D-Printer!</strong></p><p>I printed my Nozzle Box with an Prusa i3 MK3S</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>You need additionaly:</strong></p><ul><li>2x 5x3mm Magnets</li><li>2x M3x6 Countersink Screws</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><strong>UPDATE 04.04.2022:</strong></p><p>→ uploaded “NozzleBox_HigherContrast.3mf” / all color accent layers are 0.4mm high</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>So what i did in PrusaSlicer:</h4><h5>1. First, add three more extruders:</h5><p>→ go to “<strong>Printer settings</strong>" → “<strong>General</strong>” and set “<strong>Extruders</strong>” to <strong>4</strong></p><h5>2. Add the Tool change G-code:</h5><p>→ go to TAB “<strong>Custom G-code</strong>" and add <strong>M600</strong> in “<strong>Tool change G-code”&nbsp;</strong></p><h5><strong>3. Activate Wipe Tower</strong></h5><p>this was very important to me, because the extruder is not extruding the right amount of plastic after the color change.&nbsp;</p><p>→ go to <strong>“Print settings”</strong> click on TAB <strong>“Multiple Extruders” </strong>and enable the Checkbox</p><h5>4. import the 3mf-file, do not let the slicer recalculate any dimensions of the object, and when asked, if the object should imported as an multi part object, press “Yes”&nbsp;</h5><h5><strong>5. Set the desired color to the parts in the right part-list</strong></h5><p>→ You can click and hold down shift to select a bunch of parts in the list, right click and chose your desired extruder</p><h4>Slice it, than it should look like this:</h4><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/154769/rich_content/48ebd575-de75-4cdb-9026-c490b1e6fcf9/sliced.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%221c988023-4acc-4a06-85c8-ac4b54fcd2cc%22%2C%22w%22%3A1913%2C%22h%22%3A1157%7D"></figure><h5><strong>→ </strong>i did an extra color change on layer 37</h5><p>&nbsp;</p><h5>6.
