In today's video we take a look at a brand new tool in PrusaSlicer 2.4 called Multi Material Painting. This powerful feature allows you to take just about any model regardless of whether it was designed for dual extrusion, and convert it to a dual or multi material model. We will go over how to set this up, how to use the different tools, and of course we will try it out on a couple of models. After this, you should be ready to paint models of your own.

Wow that painting and auto selection function seems mindblowingly simple! For sure will be checking that out with an upcoming project
This feature works great on a dual color poker chip I printed for a friend for Father's Day. I'm currently finishing up a Hypercube with 5 extruders with an Octopus board.
That was helpful. I am looking forward to my ordered Prusa XL with 5 Extruders.
Wow, great walkthrough. Glad that you have tested this slicer. My personal favorite 👍❤
Thanks for sharing your experiences :-)
Thank you! I do know you have commented on a few videos regarding Prusa Slicer :). Not saying I am converting but I will try to cover some features of that slicer as well.
Great video man, made me pull the trigger on the mmu2s
Thank you very mush. Ive just got my second printer and it a multi printer. This vid has do the trick for me.
Oh man I gotta check this out! Fantastic video man and easy for an old fart like me to follow 🤘
Thanks brotha. Dude it’s a game changer. I cannot believe how well it works. I have been wanting something like this for years. If you do not mode yourself there are only so many multi color models out there. With this, the sky is the limit 😬
Just so y'all know, the multicolor paint option in the toolbar will not show up unless you have a printer configured in Prusa slicer that has at least 2 extruders.
Perfect time as my weedo x40 just showed up sp I can finally do multinmaterial or dual color with it
This is perfect timing, I buy an idex printer, and you cover a feature I didnt know Prusa Slicer has. Prusa Slicer is my choice of slicers, so guess it is time for me to update. Thanks!
What printer did you end up going with?? Was it the Weedoo? JG? You are going to love this then. Hopefully someone already has a profile for Prusa Slicer. The biggest issue I have been having which is evident in the print quality is the tool changing. This printer is optimized with their version of Cura but the filament swap and stinging/glooping in the Prusa Profile they gave me needs work.
@@ModBotArmy The Flashforge Creator Pro 2, not sure if I can use Prusa Slicer on it, but I would think so. So far only used their slicer. Honestly I havnt even used it much. Done the calibration, ran a test print. Didnt like the spool holder, so designed a new one, ran a test print using the new spool holder. Its been sitting unused for a week now haha
Any way to use this with a single extruder, and swap filaments mid-print?
Prusa Slicer just works for me when few others do. Particularly for non-standard setups. Their extra features are just a bonus. Their being based on the Open-Source Slic3r just seals the deal. You know a majority of the tech will be available to the community for ANY project in the future.
Yeah I was using Slic3r and Cura Engine with Repetier Host like 7 years ago. Have you played around with Super Slicer at all? I am going to take a look because I am running a couple Klipper machines now.
@@ModBotArmy I have tried the super Slicer, and I think the surface quality is not quite there yet.
We made some slices with Super Slicer, and the prints didn't have the same precision or surface quality that the PrusaSlicer have. And then you have twice the control parameter in the slicer. That can be good - if you know what you are doing - but it was not good enough for me and my college.
You can export your configurations from PrusaSlicer and import them into SuperSlicer, as SuperSlicer is derived from PrusaSlicer with additional functionality. That being said, you will need to tune the additional functionality before it will print as good as, or better than PrusaSlicer. Once you’ve done that, it will print better than PrusaSlicer, but there is a bit of a lag time between when something is released on PrusaSlicer, and when it is available on SuperSlicer.
Finally someone made a video about 2.4
Did you try saving as a .3mf file? This has been my go-to format when printing large mechanical assemblies as it has robust support for multiple bodies built in. I.e. Prusa and Slic3r can split up multi-body .stl but Cura needs individual files while .3mf just works for all 3.
I have the cr-x pro and prusa slicer does not have a profile for this printer. So before I can try this painting feature I have the hurdle of making my own printer profile which I've never done before. And suggestions on this?
The cr-x pro is a dual extruder machine so once I have the profile I'd love to test this and share with you my results. Thanks.
Duel colour printing still has a long way to go I think. I own a Flashforge Creator Pro 2 and the single colour prints are awesome but the duel colour prints I find are very rough. Mite give Prusa Slicer a go and see how duel colour prints turn out. Thanks for sharing mate.
Did you ever try it out? I also own a creator pro 2 and not happy
in bed shape in printer setting you can import an stl file of the printer search for prusa mk3 stl then it will be there in the preview screen your only showing the bed texture
Because its just sounds so cool to say, "I'm going to run that through the Prusa Slicer"
You didn't go through any multimaterial settings. Like, how do I adjust the different settings for different materials?
Does the Prusaslicer painting software work for the Sovol SV04?
How are you supposed to use this with Lotmaxx Shark V2 that has 2 extuders but a single nozzle, it needs a wipe tower that doesn't get generated... Any help?
I want to use prusa slicer but I’m having issues. After painting the object, I slice and go to print , the printer doesn’t recognise the file. I have a sovol sv04. Any ideas?
Do you have a profile for the Ifast you can share? I cant get the dual color working properly with prusa slicer.
I´m a 58 year old German worker, using an Ender 3 (Stock) for more than 6 months now. Now that I needed a stronger material for some of my mostly functional parts, I got some PETG. Is there a certain bed you´d recommend?
Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching :)
Ender 3v2 how do I get multiple color prints so I can print something like that bulbasaur? That would be amazing
Please do a review on your Qidi Ifast please.
Where can I find settings for Zonestar4 4 color printer in Prusa?
Can this work with the 3D Print Colorizer? Currently it uses a Cura plug in, but it would be great to have this functionality work under Prusa, and be exportable in 3MF files.
Also, Can I color something in 3D Paint from windows and use it's output by assigning tools to particular colors?
I am not familiar with the 3d printer colorizer? It has to be done within prusa slicer since it doesnt actually split the model. I am not sure the algorithm behind it but it only works within prusa slicer for generating gcode and cannot be exported. I believe if you save it may be able to import the 3mf painted but I am not 100%
Have you dual extruder or single extruder printer?
Could this work with a SV04?
Please Make a rewiev of prusa mini. It is really an awesome feature packed machine for realy low price.
Mixing color for dual color printing?
Does that still need a purge block? I really would like to see the infill getting used to purge the nozzles
Yeah so purge block depends. If you have purge buckets or some alternative wipe system you can get away without. Right now it depends on the hardware used. I agree there is still room for slicer optimization.
PrusaSlicer has the ability to print color change into infill, to a purge block or a combination of the two. This is prior to the 2.4 alpha, but I’m sure it will still exist in the next release.
ummmmm lol honestly the only thing i was super curious to see was you printing the model out and like how does the program allow the machine to change colors or purge mixed color?
That is dependent on the printer. Since this feature is slicer/software and really dual extrusion has had advancements but on the software side this is the biggest I can think of. The dual extrusion printer mentioned will get a video as well 👍
@@ModBotArmy my first and only 3D printer is a Geetech A10M i have been extremely happy with this printer. I think dual extruder is the only way to go unless you have a Pallet System, i love doing gradient prints, the best thing is that the facebook group that has a QR code printer from the factory on the chassis, is still being used by people there is a great community there and i ask them if i have issues and that’s awesome it’s free of charge.
i can’t wait to see some more videos especially about dual extruder printing.
I did try to download Prusa Slicer but i felt like the facebook group community mostly uses cura because there is a lot of cura profiles on there i kinda gave up on prusa slicer because i didn’t find a profile. 😩
Which printers do not work with Prucia slicer? I was considering getting a Neptune but I know Elegoo likes to lock down their hardware
It is more the pricey machines like MakerBot, Ultimaker at least the new S5/S3, machines running the MakerBot boards that take the XG3 file type., There are definitely quite a few others though. The Neptune from Elegoo should have no issues. Elegoo has their new resin printers locked down but that is because their printers use Chitu Systems mainboards and Chitu Systems implemented this.
hi buddy i hope you dont mind me contacting you buy im trying to figure out an issue im having with my new creality cr10 smart when i first started using it things were amazing and prints were awesome however now im having a strange issue that when printing taller prints the printer works great for the first cpl of inches in height then all of a sudden the printer stops extruding and carrys on as if there wasnt an issue just carrying on with the layers without extruding any filament any advice would be much appreciated all ive done so far is to strip down the extruder to check for blockages but all clear and i have things that i need to print cheers buddy
Interesting. If it is at a certain height then I would think that it may be related to the extruder or bowden tube. Make sure the path is clear and that it is not getting pinched at a certain height. Also make sure that the PLA is not breaking at a certain point. Also, it could be heat creep. I have not seen it on a Creality printer with normal settings but that is a common thing that as a print goes on the heat rises and softens the filament. Maybe try a pet-g to see if it happens. It has a higher melt temp so heat creep is less drastic.
How can I do a dual without the large brim/fence thing? It’s such a waste of filament
There's a new player called SuperSlicer which is based on Prusa but seems to be better ??????
is this a function (in toolbar) in the app?
Yeah just make sure you are on 2.4 and have at least 2 extruders set otherwise the option will not be visible.
Damn it why can't this be done on a single extruder if 1 has to move for the other then why can't 1 extruder do the same just switch filament
Prusa does not have a printer with idex there's supposed to be a multi in the xl later but still at this time no idex printers
prusa slicer in start gcode reduces flow to 95 percent you can adj it in the start gcode unless its below 0.075 layers
M221 S{if layer_height
You do not need multiple extruders or a filamentchanger. You can use M600 as toolchange command, to manually change the filament.
I often use this for labeling frontplates. With a PEI powder coated spring steel, the bottom side is the later frontside.
If you for example want to print the frontplate (while printing: the bottom) in multicolour, the filament change is only be done in the first three layers. So to use 3 colours, you paint your Logo/Text to the bottom, and than you start with your first filament. The order actually is 1,2,3 (layerchange, no filamentchange) 1, 2 (layerchange, no filamentchange), 1, 3 ((layerchange, filamentchange only if main body is not filament number 3). So just 6 manual filament changes to do.
I printed a lot of coloured objects this way (mostly front for Prusa Mini / Display housings for mk3s). Of course not with paint function (wasent available at the time) mut using diferent objects for the different colours.
In this scenario make shure using a skirt with the number of skirtlines eqals the number of virtual extruders. Prusa Slicer than do one skirtline per filament and prime the nozzle. Also manualy editing the gcode is recomended: Move every M600 down a few lines, after the next line starting g1 x... y... Thats the first segment of the skirtline. M600 always return to the point it came from. It might be oozing a bit. We do not want the ooze to fall in the object. By moving the m600 after the first skirt segment, any ooze would fall into the skirtline. If possible use a distance of 1 cm or more between skirt and object. Also the hight of the skirt has to be at least the number of the last layer with a layerchange.
Of course same way to multicolour the flat top of a print.
Multiple extruders are only needed if you want multicolour on the sides or curved top as manual change wouldn't be managable there.
So even 16 (virtual) extruders can be quite usefull, its "only" 45 manual filament changes, if you embed it in your Object. If I remember correctly, the c64 had 16 colours. So if have a well handled old 64 and want a uniqe box for your game cadriges or disks - why not use a screenshot of your favorite game to print onto the lid?
Two example prints using the manual method:
c.1und1.de/@519863702220964192/x0YxbRagSKOsIJG7XGy0UA
sadly my printer dont read m600, not part of the code library, is there any other way for doing the same thing as m600?
superslicer is even better!
How often does super slicer implement a prusa slicer feature? Do beta/alpha builds get implemented?
@@ModBotArmy no idea. Usually pretty often. I've been dealing with depression so I haven't checked if they put out the latest update. But just know their sawtooth support interface has been incredible for me :p also they have soooo many cool settings!
@@ameliabuns4058 I may have to take a look into this. Thank you for the suggestion. Sorry to hear about your depression. As someone that has suffered for years with panic attacks and depression it blows. I have good weeks and bad weeks. Hopefully it will pass soon for you
@@ModBotArmy awww thanks :3 and dew it! It's awesome :D
Im not that impressed. When we tried the SS, the surface quality was not quite there. We switched back to PS, to get a satisfying results of the prints.
And the double amount of parameters in the slicer is not always the best solution. I prefer the "Less is more" from PS.
So, my comments actually got some traction....cool!
Prusa is pushing their multi-filament add on for their printers. I saw a little about it.
Yeah, it makes sense. I am just a huge fan of them releasing things that benefit everyone. Many companies may work on things that only work for their product but so far that has not been the case with Prusa.
While this is good to support the MMU2S Multi Material Upgrade for the MK3S, my bet is that is for the future XL platform that will have tool changer capabilities.
Gotta tune that printer a bit more considering you’re on RUclips teaching 3D printing. Just saying.
This printer is meant to be used primarily with a proprietary software (their fork of cura) The prusa slicer they gave me was bu request so I could try the feature out on this machine. I would not release the prusa profile as is but did feel it did not have much relevance for the tool being shown 👍
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say it at all.
@@mwinner101 I agree with this. I am all about constructive criticism but this is not that. Had no relevance to what the video was about. At least there are many other kind people out there :)
