I really enjoy listening to the way you speak. The way you slowly go through and add commentary on different settings gives me a lot more knowledge than you'd get from a standard cut youtube tutorial. Thank you!
Man, all this time I have been loading each piece one at a time. I didn't know all pieces could be loaded at once. Also I did not know that I could copy all changed values to all extruders. This will save me a bunch of time. Now I will give you a hint. In Cura you can choose a part and right click to choose what extruder to assign. You can also right click to select all, merge, arrange, center, and clear build plate instead of using the drop down menu. You have been providing a lot of great info on these machines. Mine would be collecting dust if it wasn't for you.Thank you for all your work you put into the Facebook group and the videos!
Hi There, Thanks for this info, I have an A10M and using cura 4.6 and I have followed Part 1 and this video accordingly and apply all the settings exactly the same and assign Extruder 1 to 2 x parts(Eyes and 1 body part) and Extruder 2 to the other body parts, merged the model, etc. all the same as per you videos, and when I print it only prints with Extruder one, I have tried printing from Cura to Octoprint and saving it to SD card and printing from the SD card all the same result, it prints everything with just one color including the tower, I have tested the Mix function on the printer itself and this works fantastic, Is there anything you can think of that I missed, or do I need to add some gcode to the printer settings, or can you upload your lizard gcode so I can compare it to my lizard's gcode this is doing my head in. , thanks appreciate this in advance. I can provide my setting etc., I even removed the printers uninstalled cura and redone the printer and profile
I 2nd this! I'm also having the same problem of only one extruder working. I believe it has to do with the start GCode. This is all new to me but I think you need to set extruder 2 somehow from the start. Hopefully @1zRadio can add some insight. That would be greatly appreciated!
2:20 so, if I’m understanding correctly, if I have a model, say a person, and I want the clothes to be a different color than the body, I have to manually cut up the file in tinkercad or similar into their color groups, then import them into cura and drag them onto each other? Is that about right?
this might be a strange question but how do you change the color it makes the model per extruder? I have the geeetech a20m and I have been woundering that. like now if I am printing some with left it is lighter yellow. how did you make yours red and green?
I have an A10M and following your settings and both part one and two, I am still having issues with the nozzle stopping over the print to swap to the second colored filament. Whilst it does this, a huge blob of filament is placed over the model and each time I have to abort the print. At the very least I would need the nozzle to move to the side of the model where it can place the filament ooze elsewhere. Anyone know if there are any settings in Cura to avoid this problem, or is a g-code firmware issue??
You need to make sure that all 5 temperature settings are set the same for ALL extruders. Especially "standby temperature". Also, make sure "nozzle switch retraction" distance and speed are set the same as normal retraction
@@1zradio660 I have followed all temperature settings and found the problem to be caused by printing via USB, so printing off the card seems to be more reliable, with less chance of a pause in between. Thanks

Great video. You really saved me a bunch of time figuring this all out. Thanks!

Thank you, Great video.
Thank's again, another excellent tute.
I guess it is pretty off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream new movies online?
@Terrence Santino Flixportal :P
@Conrad Nikolai thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !!
@Terrence Santino No problem =)
Спасибо, хорошо объяснили!

never mind I got it I watched your other video
My G code alteration is causing an error and the slice preview only shows on colour help
