Secondly you choose the cut layer using Slic3r then you open the generated file in text editor such as a regular Notepad.These comments are added by Slic3r and determines where in the GCode the printer is moving from one layer to another. But let's move on.įirstly you need to download Slic3r or Slic3r PE (recommendet) in order to see the comment AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE in the generated GCode file. You should never changes any value in the GCode if you don't know the result. GCode files containing the instructions for the printer such as movement of the motors or the temperature of the heatbed. It might sound strange, but every 3D printer is capable of layer-based multicolor print by spliting the generated GCode file into multiple (one file for each color).

Tutorial for the multicolor print using any printer Please, share your makes, it makes my day to see that anyone prints me models. I basically just move the text and resize the sign. As seen below most there were obvious errors that were going to happen.Remixed version of sign() by Tech Outreach. Here was a project that I was working on for a Math student. Some objects usually small or thin often have a hard time generating a good gcode. Usually this is due to the software you used to make the gcode will want to add automatic supports inside the model. Luckily most of the extra material is on the outside and can be broken off after printing. My best advice is to reorient the model and pick the least of the worst reoriented gcodes. This is rare and usually has little effect on the print and I have no idea what causes this. So don't print the file because it will look exactly like this. This means that nothing will be printing where the missing material is lacking. Rotate your model until you see something as shown in the picture below.

This is the most common problem that you can see usually due to non-manifolds. Below are examples of what you are trying to spot. The most important thing is to rotate and zoom to get every angle so that you can spot the errors. It looks a little odd at first, but you'll get used to it soon.
