It’s been a while since my last post here, and it’s been a while since I’ve touched the 3dChameleon project. Uploading everything I have - maybe community will pick this up and make it polished and finished.
I’ve got multiple successful prints with this code/setup. Description leaving to minimum - don’t want to waste time if there is no interest in the community. More you comment/ask questions, more time I will dedicate to this.
I am definitely interested in more information. Looking at the Chameleon website, if I get one now, it will be a Mk4 so I would need to figure out the changes.
I upgraded mine yesterday, and it seems like it should just work with current code. Basic functionality is the same. Hit me up with questions so I can expand the documentation for everyone.
No, 3DChameleon doesn’t see any G-Code. All it has as an input is the switch, that is triggered by a 3d printer. The switch can be installed at any axis, and then moving the axis to trigger the switch is how you control the color change.
Engage the switch for 5 sec - load color red.
Engage the switch for 3 sec - load color blue.
Timing in the example is not accurate but this is how it works. Very simple. So the custom G-Code goes into PrusaSlicer and plugs into the final sliced gcode that gets shipped to printer for execution.
I don’t think they have other options for sale.
International is pricey there for some reason, I can check how much it is to ship something from me to your country if you’d like. Or you could probably use a mail forwarder and consolidate packages to save a ton on shipping if ordering something else. I used to use them all the time.
