Chuck shows you how to create a Multi Color 3D Print in CURA 3 on ENDER 3. He shows you how to setup one GCode file to produce 4 separate pause points allowing you to change filament on the one nozzle ENDER3 3D Printer.
Only one file is required for your printer and the printer will wait for you between layers so you don’t have to stand around and wait to pause it at the right time.

DIY filament runout sensor + M600 colour changing
Filament runout detection is something I’ve gone without because I thought it would be harder to implement than it is. The truth is you can do it easily with printed parts and a microswitch worth less than a dollar. This guide takes you through printing, assembly, wiring and firmware setup to get filament runout detection working with a Marlin 3D printer. My Tevo Tornado was easy, as it has a MKS GenL mainboard.
The Ender 3 was a little trickier but ultimately I was able to get it compiled and working using the little known pin 29, retaining pin 27 for the BLtouch. As always, the limitations of the Melzi 1284P board arise but I have included a guide on what Marlin tweaks are needed to get it to compile. If you just want the mid print M600 colour change, then enable the nozzle park and advanced pause but not the filament runout.

STRONG parts from a Resin 3D Printer? Testing TOUGH Engineering Resin!
Resin 3D prints are usually known for being very brittle and weak. In this video CNC Kitchen tests the strength of “tough resins” and compare them with conventional FDM 3D prints with very interesting results!
Designer Creates 3D-Printed Press That Allows Anyone to Print Art From Home
Printmaking has been making a bit of a comeback in recent times, as it allows a contemporary artist the ability to achieve a traditional, embossed aesthetic. However, printing presses are expensive and extremely heavy, making them inaccessible to a lot of people. That’s why Martin Schneider is on a mission to make basic printmaking machinery available to everyone by designing a miniature, 3D-printed press.
The Open Press Project provides freely available plans for anyone with access to a 3D printer to print their own press. “Using an iterative process, I built 10 prototypes, printed more than 100 proofs, and used more than a kilometer of filament,” explains Schneider. “The final result is a portable printing press that costs only 5€ of material and can be printed by everyone with access to a 3D-printer.”
