I finally got multi-color working on my Creality K1 Max using the 3D Chameleon.

Decided to make a 2 color benchy and scaled it down to 75% to save time, along with 0.25mm layer height.

So far the Chameleon has been pretty picky with filament, but when it works it works well! This print is with silk gold and matte black. I have even gotten 95A TPU to print with it surprisingly!

I modified the color-change code so it takes 1 minute less, which makes a big difference when you have hundreds of color changes.

Next up, 4 color benchy. Probably will be 10 hrs lol

    The multi color is neat but that print quality… woof

    and this is coming from someone who daily drives an ANET

      Yeah it’s not the prettiest lol. This is 75% size, and 0.25mm layers, which doesn’t help. (I just wanted to shorten print time)

      I had to use Prusa Slicer because of the custom GCode features, so my settings there are not perfect yet. It also isn’t controlling the aux fans properly like Creality slicer.

      My normal 1 color benchies are 22 minutes and absolutely perfect, using my finely tuned Creality Slicer profile.

    I thought this was going to be a joke where you hand-drew the bench with a filament pen, thought it was really good for that.

    Nope. Wow, that took a while.
