This can be seen in the gcode preview view and turning on travel moves under the show dropdown. It can be left on, however you may experience stringing or blobs from the excessive z-hop height.īefore we export this gcode we do want to verify that z-hop is enabled as intended. You will need to ensure this is active starting from the bottom layer and most likely turn it off once we’ve exceeded the accent part. For our example piece that would be 1.2mm. It will need to be set to a height taller than the height of the accent pieces, to be safe double the height can be used. Then we need to head to printer settings and enable z-hop for this part. You will now want to change your accent coloured pieces to be modifiers and change your primary piece back into a part, reversing the bodies we want to print. Next we’re going to do the primary coloured pieces, and this is where the real magic happens. Export the resulting gcode and save it to an appropriate place.

If possible omit a skirt as it will make your life easier but it’s not required. You will now slice the remaining accent pieces as normal. For us we merely just need it to not be printed. This tells the slicer this body is no longer a printable body and is instead used to modify the other bodies (for example as support enforcer or blocker). We’re first going to slice the accent pieces, so you will need to right click the primary colour piece and select change type and then pick modifier from the list. Identify the bodies that will be your primary colour and your accent colour, in our case the main body will be primary, and the Voron logo (3 separate bodies) will be our accent. This will then split the file into the multiple bodies we need. You will need to right-click the file in your part list and select split to parts. Depending on the format you will only see a single model at first. Import your STL or other printable model as per usual. We’ll be using Super Slicer, but this should also work in Prusa Slicer and others. This is where most of the work will be done. The specific piece we’ve be using the is the _Cowling_dragon_MULTIBODY_x1.STL from the Mini Afterburner. Ideally the accent colour piece is no taller than around 0.6mm in the z-axis, just enough to clearly differentiate it from the colours around it. The primary requirement is that you have a file that includes two or more bodies that can be printed separately. Multi-Body STL’sįor this we’ll be using the multi-body cowling for the Voron V0.1, however any similar file will work.

I’m by no means the first to do this, write about it, or in anyway take credit–this is merely a reminder for myself how to do when the need arises. It will not work well with accent pieces that need to be very deep and while more than one colour can be done, it will add more chances for failure. This is mainly useful for prints that need an accent colour on the side facing the build plate such as the cowling from the Voron V0.1 Mini Afterburner. This is a quick guide on doing a simple multi-colour print using a printer with a single nozzle and extruder setup in Super Slicer–no MMU2S or ERCF required.
