Topic: Can this be done? printing with 2 colors with a single extruder?
Hey guys,
I am as green as they come when comes to 3d printers, and I am probably over stepping my comfort zone by even considering trying this.
Especially since I am still battling with sticking issues.
BUT
A buddy of mine owns a Business, and I was thinking of surprising him with a iPhone 5 case with his company logo in it.
but I only have a Solidoodle Rev2, so basically a single extruder.
What I would like to do is :
Print his Company logo on the bed, in RED, then I want to take a already existing version of the iPhone 5 cases that are floating on thingverse. and print around it in blue. so I end up with a blue and red case.
In my mind's eye, I would open the STL in what ever Cad, create the object I want, then save out the STL in 2 files. one for each color.
I am assuming its going be somewhat risky and maybe fail a lot. But I am wondering if its been done before?
- On the complexity chart, how difficult is this to do?
- how prone will it be to breaking or the inlay of falling out?
