I would like to print a model with 8, 12, even 16 colors, but it takes much, much too long. For example, even a small print of 300 layers and 8 colors that averages 6 colors per layer would take approximately 6 (colors) x 150 (seconds) x 300 (layers) = 270,000 seconds —> 75 hours –> 3+ days. That’s just not reasonable. 300 layers is only about 60mm tall for common settings.
I configure Creality Print to use purge multiplier of 0.01 and disable the wipe tower. I enable purge into infill and support. That should be enough for most circumstances. That configuration should result in approximately 20 extra seconds per layer given the length of my guide tubes.
Please, please, please, for the love of all that is good in this world, please disable any built in calculations in the firmware and just respect what is configured in the slicer.
I’ve found the code, this is it below. It obviously is doing more than needed.
