Ditto Print

My printer supports Ditto Print, but I'd really like to see it supported in S3D because there are limitations that simply can't be overcome with the stock ditto print...

Now that said, I don't even know if this is possible... but the part I want to change are extruder settings, I'm printing with two different colors and often I find that one needs a little more extrusion than the other, or slightly different temperatures. For the most part I can work around this by pairing "good" filaments together, but when I need a dozen red and a dozen black of an item, its a bummer to have to print them seperately because there's a 10C delta between the filament adhesion sweet spots...

Re: Ditto Print

I thought you could already use alternate slicers with the Ditto printers? For example, doesn't this thread talk about using Slic3r with the Ditto printer?

I imagine you could just use those exact same settings to create a profile in S3D for the Ditto

Give it a try and let us know how it works!

Re: Ditto Print

Am I right that you are taking about ditto printing as in the type that sailfish gives you ?

Re: Ditto Print

The data that is for 1 extruder is passed to the other. S3d can't do anything for that.
