What should be the result?
Multicolorprint or print two workpieces at the same time??? :?:

Multicolor: you need to make your own firmware. With A30 it's not easy because the A30 using a 32-bit Controller.
To print multicolor it's better and easier to by the new Geeetech A10M!

it would be for multicolor and I just got the a30 thinking it was the latest lol 3 after 1 30 after 10 my mistake and a 32bit controller should handle it if an 8bit controller can just don't know if it could be done with this printer not a problem ime making a new delta printer gonna experiment with that on multi-material if all goes well
