Thanks Peter for your reply I set up a text file with colour % for RGB colour mixes and adder that file to the gcode editor prefix I set the colours to as near as possible to the colours of the Extruder Mapping all colours set use the colours RG&Blue my query is how to add black and white to the primary colours
OK, if you want a proper response, it's not a good idea to report the post. Much better to reply in the thread using the "Post Reply" button.
Again, more info required. How are you doing the mixing? (Example: what G-codes are used - provide a sample) otherwise I just have to guess and that really wastes my time.
If you use M567 for the mixing and you have 5 feeds to the nozzle, then you simply provide a fractional value of each feed in the G-code.
If your feeds are (in order) Red, Green, Blue, White and Black.
Set up your printer to have 16 nozzles.
Create your various colours in the Materials tab (e.g. PLA Red, PLA Green ... PLA White, PLA Black ... PLA Yellow, PLA Purple).
In the Material G-code Editor, define the feeds required for each colour (PLA Red would be 1.0:0:0:0, PLA White would be 0:0:0:1:0, PLA Black would be 0:0:0:0:1, PLA Purple may be 0.4:0:0.4:0.2:0 etc.).
In the Printer/Extruder Mapping, assign the colours to each extruder (E1: PLA Red, E2: PLA Green ... E4: PLA White, E5: PLA Black ... E15: PLA Yellow, E16: PLA Purple)
Open the printer G-code Editor, go to "Select New Extruder and Warm and enter the line:
NOTE: You will obviously require more G-code than this one line, but this is the line which will define the colour feed ratios.
When you load a model, open the mesh to extruder map and set the relevant colour extruder for each mesh.
