Printing more than two materials in Ultimaker 3


Recommended Posts

Posted · Printing more than two materials in Ultimaker 3

Hello, Is it possible to print using three materials (2.85 mm) or more with Ultimaker 3? I would like to print PLA of two different colors and PVA without manually pausing the print and changing filament. Is there any technique for this?. Also does the Ultimaker material station work for ultimaker 3 ?, because I know it supports the S5.

    Not without some sort of 3rd party solution like the Mosaic Palette or similar.

     

    The Material Station is only compatible with the S5. The UM3 doesn't have the needed flow sensors in the feeders for starters.
