Raft Multi-material Printing
I'd like to be able to print a raft using two materials, on a Method X printer. I'm using ABS-R and RapidRinse. I'd like the first layer or two of the raft to print in ABS-R and the remainder of the raft to print in RapidRinse. Is that possible??

Re: Raft Multi-material Printing
There are a 2 different ways to sort of achieve this that comes to mind:
1. Import a part that will function as the raft, assign two processes to that raft part with the right material and height. Raise your part height accordingly.
2. Raise the part slightly, generate supports, assign the support extruder and dense support extruder to your desired material, adjust the speeds accordingly.
Add processes and break it up by height using Tools > Variable Settings Wizard wherever necessary.
