idea of adding new feature for real colour mixing #3902

Open sebastiangonzalezv opened 7 years ago

sebastiangonzalezv commented 7 years ago

Marlin firmware actually has a command M165: Set multiple mix weights A[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 1 B[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 2 C[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 3 D[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 4 H[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 5 I[factor] Mix factor for extruder stepper 6

were the idea is use A for cyan, B magenta, C yellow, D black, H white, I support material. the idea is when there is a mixing nozzle like image or image

can create a color mixing like or even more image

here is more documentation of 3d color mixing

image

so the point is use the same actualg code generation but use instead t1 t2 t3... to change extrude use use m165 to define a color http://www.reprap.org/mediawiki/images/0/05/RepRapColourMixingReport-jmc.pdf http://www.reprap.org/mediawiki/images/a/a5/Pia-taubert-material-mixing-report.pdf

Pretty sure this is a dupe. Will go looking later.
