2.9 Dual color printing

With a Leapfrog Creatr Dual extruder it is possible to print with two materials or two colors at the same
time. You can for example print your object in ABS and your support in soluble PLA as explained before. If
you want your print to have two different colors, this is also possible. Please follow the guidelines as
described below.

To be able to print in multiple colors you will first of all need the latest version of Slic3r, which is
available at www.slic3r.org

The trick to printing in two different colors is that you need two different STL files; one for each
color. These two files have to be combined into one file by Slic3r. Follow the instructions below:
o Open Slic3r
o Go to submenu "File"
o Select "Combine multi-material STL files..." as shown in the screenshot below

A window will then pop up for you to browse for your two STL files. Browse to, select and open
STL File 1 for the first color.
When you have done so, a new similar window will pop up in which you have to browse to,
select and open STL file 2.
After selecting and opening the second STL file a similar window will pop up again, allowing you
to add a third file and this continue for as many files desired, but since there are only two
different extruders in the printer, two files is the maximum amount you wish for so therefor
press "Cancel".
Please download and install the latest version.
