Multiple Extruders
A printer with more than one extruder can be used in different ways: The
additional extruder could print a different color or material; or it could be
assigned to print particular features, such as infill, support or perimeters.
Multi-material printing requires a suitably designed object usually
written in AMF format as this can handle multiple materials (see Model
Formats in §2.3). Details on how to create such a file are given below.
Configuring Extruders
In the Printer Settings tab there is an Extruders option, under
Capabilities, which allows the number of extruders to be defined. In-
crementing this value will dynamically add another extruder definition to
the left-hand pane.
