In this video I go over the UI of VoxelMaker. VoxelMaker is the slicer that comes with the Voxelab Printers. You can download VoxelMaker here: www.voxelab3dp.com/download?c...
I haven't seen a way to do that. In this case you probably need to use one of the other slicers like prusa slicer in order to do something like that. Check the printer menu you may be able to do it through the printer and not through the slicer
What you do is when it is at the spot you want it to change colors click pause, and then you can leave the print click auto unload then insert the filament then auto load. Then you can go back to the print section and click on the print you were just doing. Tell me if it works
Hey sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I don't believe there is a way to connect direct to VoxelMaker, I don't see an option to connect through USB cable. You could try using pronterface to load the file to the printer and print.
Replying to this very late, but hopefully it will help someone in the future. This information is incomplete, but it will get you printing by USB in Cura, and I'm still trying to get it fully functional in VoxelMaker. It seems that to print directly from USB on older Voxelab models, such as my Aquila X2, you need the CH340 driver, which enables serial communication through USB, same as an Arduino board. RUclips won't let me post a direct link, but SparkFun (who sells Arduinos) has a good article on it. Google "How to Install CH340 Drivers," and click on their article with that title. After installing, you'll see the serial communication ports in Device Manager, assuming you're on Windows. To get my computer to detect the printer, I had to flip the power switch first, and wait for it to boot *before* connecting the the USB. Now in VoxelMaker, go to Tools -> Serial Control. In the Serial Control window, there is a Serial Ports dropdown list at the top right. In my case, my printer was connected to serial port COM4. There are many ports it could be, and for whatever reason, the Search Ports button didn't seem to work for me. Fortunately, Cura now detected my printer, automatically connected to it, and identified which port it was connected by, which saved the trial and error finding the right port. *However, if Cura is still open when you try to connect VoxelMaker to the printer, the connection will fail with no clear reason given, because Cura is still hogging it.* When you click the Connect button at the bottom of VoxelMaker's Serial Control window, if the connection is successful, it will say so in the box to the left. You can now paste gcode (as text) into the Send window, send it to the printer to operate it. However, I was unable to _finish_ any print like this. After a short while, it would warn me that it was too busy processing my other commands, and fail. I assume this could easily be overcome by limiting the send speed, but I'm not sure of the correct way to do that yet. From what I could find, I believe the defaults for the other Serial Control settings are correct for my printer, but tweaking those may be the answer. In any case, I did not run into this issue in Cura. I only needed to connect the printer, and open Cura. After slicing, the normal Save To Disk button will have an arrow to the right which you can click to set to "Print From USB". On the Monitor tab, there are buttons to move the extruder, and to preheat the nozzle and plate, which VoxelMaker does not have. Oddly, while printing this way, the printer LCD and menu act as though it's idle, not printing anything. The Print Time/Time Remaining counters have to be viewed in Cura. I've not yet tested whether it's possible to change settings like temperature and print speed from the printer menu mid-print. Hopefully someone can figure out how to get VoxelMaker fully functioning with this, because it was able to detect my printer's settings and immediately get to work, instead of having to add the printer manually, which is something Cura can't (and probably won't) do.
Hello! I have an Aquilla X2 that I recently got as a gift. I'm NEW to 3D printing. So this tutorial was REALLY helpful in learning like the stuff on the left sidebar there. The continuation of this video KIND of helps me with all the print options but I really need more help and can't find help ANYWHERE from this program. Some prints come out smooth as all hell, others rough and crappy without settings changing or just changing the internal/external composition (Which I don't even know what that is honestly!) Any help would be appreciated! D:
Hey, I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner. Have you found the help you needed? EDIT: Just realized I responded to this logged into the wrong youtube account.
Now I'm logged in to the correct account. Let me know if I can help you with something but it's better to reply to the edwardMcrichy post, I don't monitor this channel as much as I should.
Sorry I don't monitor this channel as much as I should, hopefully you figured it out, basically you don't slice you choose your print settings and then save the file and then it automatically slices once you've done that
Awesome thank you
THANK YOU
Brill. Thanks 👍
thank you
hey so uh? how do i slice it?
that's in the next video ruclips.net/video/vcNnFY-9a8k/видео.html
Awesome Tutorial!!!
How can I change colors mid print?
Is it possible at all?

hey how do you get the aries on the machine list? all i see is the proxima
nvm i was on voxelprint
How do you connect to voxelmaker via wired connection? Also what firmware do you have on your printer?

Do you need to pay every time you want to print something?
No.
how do you get to voxelmaker? like how do you download it to pc?
Sorry for the delayed response www.voxelab3dp.com/free-slicers/voxelMaker
@@3dprintablesllc271 your fine. Thanks!
Hi is there a mac download for this?
Update there is
What the hell am I blind I came here to find where the slice button is I can’t see it
Sorry I don't monitor this channel as much as I should, hopefully you figured it out, basically you don't slice you choose your print settings and then save the file and then it automatically slices once you've done that
