Continuous Printing (how to change extruder when running out of material)
23 June 2022
|By Diego Villa
Continuous printing is an option that allows the machine to automatically change the extruder during printing when the material runs out.
In this way it is possible to:
- seamlessly print objects that require more material than a single roll
- finish even half-length rolls without printing interruptions
To activate the Continuous printing system, go to ADVANCED> Settings> Continuous printing
This way the system will be enabled for the next print.
Every time you want to launch a new print with the Continuous printing system you have to reactivate it
To use the system correctly, however, the printer must be set up correctly:
- The nozzles must have the same diameter on both extruders
- The same material must be properly loaded on both extruders before printing
- The machine must be calibrated correctly (self-calibration).
