Is it possible to print two different colors in the same piece with the Ultimaker S5?

Hi all,

 

I would like to ask you if it is possible to print in two different colors for the same piece using the printer Ultimaker S5 with extruders AA y BB.

Thank you so much.

 

Best regards.

AA and BB, I don't know. AA and AA, yep, it works fine.

Yes, this is possible just make sure you split (have TWO different) .stl files.

 

stl file 1 = Colour 1

stl file 2 = Colour 2

Hi AnaLara,

 

I have used this to print architectural facade models

• separate your digital file so that each material you want your print to be is a different group of objects but the item looks like you want it to be
• make sure these two groups have the same origin and rotation 
• export two different stl files from your design software for each of the groups
• open the two stl files in CURA. The files will be separate
• select each of the objects and change their material by clicking the roll button on the left of the screen.
• select both objects and right click
• select merge models
• print
