Multi-Material Stack - Test Print

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

This small stack allows you to test "Multi-Material Stack Printing" and experiment with different "flow ratios".

Multi-Material Stack Printing is an advanced printing method you can use if Ironing printing doesn't work for you, and you have a multi-material printer. Click here to watch a video tutorial about it.

Multi-Material printing is done with PLA and PETG.

Printer Settings:

  • Make sure the downloaded files are .STL. The printing orientation is as provided in the file.
  • Once the file is in the slicer, split it by objects. Change the Tiles to be PLA, and change the spacing objects to be PETG (or vice-versa).
  • Change the plate temperature for the PETG to be the same as the plate temperature for the PLA.
  • Set the flow ratio (aka extrusion multiplier) for the PETG to be between 1 and 1.3. You will have to test what flow ratio works best for you using this test file. For me 1.1 works best with a Bambu Lab.
  • Set seam position to "random" for more strength (optional). Use 3 perimeter wall thickness, 0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill, and no supports. Apart from that, use your printer's default settings.

The major problem with this is that the tiles aren't defined as separate 'objects'. This means that after the first tile, subsequent tiles don't have a 'bottom' set of layers meaning they are weaker than they should be and often the bottom layer does not stick properly as it's printed as a bridge.

In your slicer, if you right click on the object, then select split to, and then do to objects, you can clearly separate all layers, tile's and the middle layer and make them the different filaments

I don't have that problem with the Bambu slicer on these packaged files. I do have a problem with the layers "missing" for the top and bottom when importing from the blender generator. Not sure if it is the same issue. But my sections come out showing the "bones" of the grid rather than the topped bottom layers.

It's been a year since this post, and I know a lot of changes have happened. Is Blender still the way to do this?
