Assigning a different extruder to each model on bed

[sirwejiv]

Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple models on the bed and to build all at the same time layer by layer but with each model being built by a different extruder?

Supposing I have 3 extruders each with a different filament. I also have 3 models that I want to build simultaneously on the same bed. But each model is built with one of the three filaments so each model has it's own extruder.

Say
An owl gets brown ABS filament on extruder 0 at 240 degrees.
A rocket gets a red PLA filament on extruder 1 at 210 degrees.
A fish gets a blue HIPS filament on extruder 2 at 260 degrees.

If I have a printer with 3 extruders is this possible?

Yes, just create 3 separate processes, and use the "Select Models" button in the bottom left to choose what models each process applies to. For example, process 1 could use extruder #1 and only apply to a single model. Then setup a second process for extruder #2, and a third for extruder 3.

Then just click "Prepare to Print" and select all 3 processes. They explain more about this below:
