Quick Layer Change Quick layer change is a technique used in multi-material or color 3D printing, where the printer rapidly switches between filaments or print heads without affecting layer alignment. It minimizes downtime, oozing, and contamination. Quick layer change is achieved using independent extruders, nozzle parking, or mixing hotends. Advanced slicing software synchronizes tool changes with optimized retraction, wipe, and purge routines. Proper configuration ensures clean transitions, sharp color separation, and precise layer bonding. It enhances productivity and print quality in complex multi-material projects. |
