Dual Extrusion not working

[Rammnick 0]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to print a black button with white text on it using black and white PETG. My idea was to print the black PETG in Extruder 1 and the white PETG in Extruder 2. 

I exported the text and the button seperately as an STL-file from Autodesk Fusion and then put the files into Cura. 

Then I right-clicked the text and selected "Extruder 2: White PETG" before merging the models. In the preparation-viwe it even shows the text in white and the button in black but in the preview after slicing everything would be printed in black.

 

I think I followed all the steps necesseray and just can't figure out where the problem lays. Please help me out. I am getting desperate 😅

P.S.:

Of course I tried to print it resulting in the whole thing being printed in black.

Could you share a project file? From what you've shown so far it should work, but a project fill will tell us more

Hey nallath! 

 

Thanks for replying.

 

I just found the issue: In the print-settings Cura automatically set the Extruder for the walls, fillings and top/bottom on Extruder 1. I changed this into "Do not override" and now it works!

The default is "do not override", not extruder 1.
