  1. I purchased a second hand Original - it came without the controller. I never noticed this before I bought it but the owner said it worked fine. So, I have no idea how to load filamant, change cartridges etc without that feedback. And, what slicing software do I use? The guy I bought it off is not answering my emails, so I'm stuck and how to solve these issues. I've watched YT video, but I can't find a single one that shows the printer being used without a controller. I'd appreciate dome help please - thank you all. UPDATE I've just found this video, so I will try Pronterface. https://youtu.be/T1TH0QpHVWs
  2. UPDATE - nailed it. Used MeshMaker. Cut the image into two parts and imported 2 images into Cura. Chose different filaments for each part. That did it. Thank you for ALL responses.
  3. Already seen that - it's of no help. I should have mentioned, sorry, that the file I'm printing has the colours in one single stl file. The video you quote has two stl files that merge; I don't have that - hence I don't know what to do.
  4. I've tried the method in the video. What i don't understand is how the filament colour gets changed. For me, after the pause, I clicked resume thinking the second colour would be cosen. Not so - the print continued with the initial colour. I have a S3 which has two extruders and I thought it would simply stop using extruder 1 and resume at 2. Am I wrong? Did I miss a step in the setup that i followed perfectly? The trouble with the video is that he used 1 extruder and the S3 has two. Seems daft to have to manually remove the first colour and replace with a second - or is that the key? I have spend almost 2 hours researching this and nowhere is there an example of an S3 being used for dual colours.
