Normal printing. 1 or 2 extruders?

Post by TomBlundell » Thu Nov 11, 2021 5:38 pm

Hi there. I've been a happy A20M owner until I upgraded last version of 4.8 Cura...
Never understood this printer concept, I always had to use Color Mixer plugin in order to be able to print.

Never used two color, just the same filament on both feeders. I would always use Color Mixer to modify the gcode so both feeders would work at 50%.

Now, after processing with Color Mixer, only 1 feeder will work, and at the same speed, so 50% of the material is used and the prints are wrong, no adhesion, etc... The display on the A20 will show 100% 0% while before displayed 50% 50%...

Since it's just on one extruder, I tried to increase flow to 200%, but the value stays orange, I guess can't go so high....

So please, someone explain me. If I want to print single color and use Cura, how can I do it without using Color Mixer? Specially now that is not working the same way it did....

I thought 1 feeder working at 100% would be enough for normal prints. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks.

We have some software and videos which can show you how to set the color, please check the link: https://www.geeetech.com/download.html?download_id=40 . You can also just use the test model files attached.
If you are not sure whether the settings are right or not, I suggest you add a new printer like the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPljmHDLmow and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9x9de4 ... st=LL&t=0s
