Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

Got the new code uploaded with the baud rate of 115200. Started a print from the SD using pronterface. As the print was running I noticed it was only printing the upper right quadrant of a circle, not the whole thing. (I was printing a bracelet but got a quarter of a pie instead) Anyway, I tried the...

Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

I set the baud rate to 115200 in config.h and uploaded. For some reason I got lots of timeout errors on the upload. Tried it a couple of times and keppt getting timeout errors. Finally tried the M2 and it seemed to run OK but acted like it had the old code in it. I need to regroup and figure out whe...

Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

Downloaded and installed the LiquidTWI2 and Marlin.ino compiled OK. Uploaded it to my M2 and lost communications via USB and the Viki mostly quit working. Built my old code using the new LiquidTWI2, uploaded it to the M2 and all is again OK but with old code. Since my old code built and runs OK with...

Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

I downloaded M2-single.zip. When I tried to compile Marlin.ino, I got the following error;" 'LiquidTWI2' does not name a type". I had previously downloaded the firmware for the Viki and it compiles and installed OK. I also tried Marlin.pde and got the same error. My machine is a MakerGear M2 24V sin...

Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

I tried the M600 command by sending it via pronterface. My new,last week, M2 simply ignored the command as far as I can tell.

Re: Printing multiple colors with single extruder

Thanks for that answer on the "change filament command". I was wondering why there wasn't such a thing. I'm controlling my M2 via pronterface and or the LCD display. I don't run windoze, just Linux. If you wouldn't mind, would you send me the code for the change filament command? Thanks, Forrest Myers

Printing multiple colors with single extruder

I'm pretty new at 3D printing. I have a project where I'm printing a clock dial. The base layers of the dial are white PLA while the numbers and other raised markings are black PLA. I somewhat successfully printed one of these but the swap over from white to black filament was messy. I left a blob o...
