Many 3D printing enthusiasts want to 3D print multi-color objects but are unsure about how to do it properly. To make multi-color 3D prints you’ll need to either pause your printer and manually change the filament or add a pause command in the G-code file. Using multi-color filaments, dual extruder 3D printers, or multi-filament feeder…
BL Touch, produced by Antclabs, and CR Touch by Creality, are popular automatic bed leveling systems. They measure and compensate for any unevenness in the print bed’s surface for better-quality prints. I decided to compare the main aspects of these systems to help you pick one. The CR Touch is designed better and offers slightly…
