3D Printed Overlay for DM42, DM41X ...
Hello,
enclosed please find the source file (.skp for SketchUp) and the .stl data for an overlay for the DM4x hardware. I have also attached photos. I have however rotated the enclosed 3d files after printing these specimens so that a new print will put the rougher side below and the smooth side up. I have used the Swissmicros specifications for design: https://technical.swissmicros.com/graphi...y_DM42.PDF I hope you find this useful. Greetings, Andreas |

Very nice! If one was able to switch filament colors mid-print, then legends should be possible.
Try CC41! |

3D printing legends in different color

If your slicer can show layer-by-layer, then you can figure out when to insert a pause to switch filaments mid-print. Alan |

I ran a quick test, see attached. The results could be improved by using a smaller nozzle than the 0.4 mm used here and perhaps PLA vs. PETG (used here) which is a little more stringy.

Almost to the point of 3D printed double shot keycaps! Things are looking up!
It ain't OVER 'till it's 2 PICK |

In addition to the ability to change colors at a specific layer, it is also possible to approximate double shot keys by using a color change mid-layer. Essentially, you print all of the key backgrounds, leaving letter-shaped holes. Then you pause, change filament, and continue the print, which then fills in the letter-shaped holes with the second color.
I have a video bookmarked somewhere showing the entire workflow for doing something like this, if anyone is interested. |

RE: 3D Printed Overlay for DM42, DM41X ...
It depends on how thick the print is, i.e. how many layers. If you go more than a couple layers between switching colors then the nozzle will drag on the outer layer.
Ideally you print layer 1 color 1, layer 1 color 2. Then layer 2 color 1 layer 2 color 2, then layer 3 color 1, layer 3 color 2. etc. I want to replace the mainboard of mu printer with a dual extruder for dual colors. |

Since this thread began I now do two prints, one over the other. The first one is one layer high, the second print is printed on top. See the photo.

Hi Andreas,
I was more interested in your screen shot, cool offimg and chance of sharing. Thanks (02-11-2021 04:05 PM)anetzer Wrote: Hello, |
