Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify cause of color mixing
Incorrect color mixing usually happens when the printer's dual extruder setup is not calibrated, causing misalignment.Step 2: Rule out other causes
Filament empty, bed temperature, or nozzle size do not directly cause color mixing issues.Final Answer:
The printer is not calibrated properly for dual extrusion -> Option AQuick Check:
Color mix error = calibration issue [OK]
Quick Trick: Color mix problems usually mean calibration errors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Blaming filament spool when it has filament
- Thinking bed temperature affects color mixing
- Assuming nozzle size causes color errors
