what code and were would i insert it to get the printer to go from tool 0 to tool 1 , so that the letters a are different color than the tag ?
pet_name="NAME"; //Your pet name phone_number="000-0000000"; //Your phone number bone_height = 5; //Tag height in mm font_height=2; //Font height in mm module t(t){ translate([-1,(-len(t)*3.8),bone_height]) rotate([0, 0, 90]) linear_extrude(height = font_height) text(t, 10, $fn = 16); } module t2(t){ translate([-1,(-len(t)*3.8),bone_height]) rotate([0, 0, 90]) linear_extrude(height = font_height) text(t, 7, $fn = 16); } //bone //left side of bone translate([-10,-30,0]) { translate([20,0,0]) cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14); cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14); }; //right side of bone translate([-10,30,0]) { translate([20,0,0]) cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14); cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14); }; //center of bone translate([-15,-25,0]) cube([30,50,bone_height]); translate([0,-5,0]) t(pet_name); translate([11,14,0]) t2(phone_number); //tag attachment difference(){ translate([-16,0,0]) cylinder(r=6, h=bone_height); //prevents non-manifold translate([-16,0,-1]) cylinder(r=3, h=((bone_height)+2)); } Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ OpenSCAD mailing list To unsubscribe send an email to [hidden email] |

Somebody with more (more than zero!) experience with multiple extruders will probably provide more information, but I may be able to help a little right away... OpenSCAD per se won't help you. The models it produces don't have any color/material/tool marking. (And, for STL, that's pretty much the way it is.) There are some ideas being floated but they haven't been implemented. What I believe you need to do is to generate *two* models, one for each material, and then recombine them in the slicer. Probably you would have your OpenSCAD program run in one of three modes: all parts (probably with preview coloring), the first material, and the second material. _______________________________________________ OpenSCAD mailing list To unsubscribe send an email to [hidden email] |
If it's just a small number of prints, there's another option to just
keep the model as it is and define a manual filament swap pause in the slicer at the height where the main plate ends. This works with a single extruder by swapping filament at that point. I don't know if it also allows for manual tool change by sending the appropriate g-code. Maybe there's also some specific slicer option to swap tools at some given height, but I don't know any details as I never had a printer with more than one extruder. ciao, Torsten. _______________________________________________ OpenSCAD mailing list To unsubscribe send an email to [hidden email]

Thank you very much

In reply to this post by JordanBrown
Having a dual extruder I can confirm my experience is exactly as Jordan Brown describes. Two STL files, combine in slicer. AND I have used "conditionals"/"defines" in the openSCAD code to make it run in 3 "modes". On Sun, 6 Jun 2021 at 17:31, Jordan Brown <[hidden email]> wrote:
