LINUS Duplicator 4pro
Desktop 3D printer
The LINUS Duplicator 4PRO 3D Printer is an ABS/PLA optimized machine for those who want to explore the frontiers of 3D printing. The troubleshooting guides and documentation in these pages will orient you and get you back on track if something should go wrong. If you need more help, reach out to us through email.
Documentation - Dual Extrusion
1. Build one model. Make sure all curves are converted to mesh when getting set to go to the printer.
2. Select the parts in one color, then export those parts to an STL file - parts1.stl (for example).
3. Then select the parts in the second color and export those to another STL file. parts2.stl.
NOTE: between steps 2 and 3 NOT to move anything around - everything is properly positioned.
4. Open ReplicatorG.
5. Select GCODE -> Merge .stl for DualExstrusion
6. In the resulting dialog, select parts1.stl file for the left extruder (swap the file as desired to match up with your color).
7.Then select parts2.stl for the right extruder.
8. Then specify where the resulting gcode merged gcode file.
9. Click Merge.
This opens TWO gcode dialogs. Only one will be accessible initially.
10. Fill in the details for the first extruder (fill%, # shells, layer height, filament size, etc.). Then generate that GCode
11. WAIT!! Do not do the second gcode until the first has fully completed and written out the generated file. The progress bar window may open behind your main window - regardless watch the console area of RepG for when the gcode is done.
12. Fill in the details for the second extruder and generate the gcode.
When this process completes, you'll get the gcode for your parts2.stl file, but you will also get the merged gcode file. The merged file will be opened for your review.
Treat the merged Gcode the way you would any other gcode file. Export it to S3G or X3G(firmware 7.2), transfer it to the printer and hit print.
