Single Filament for Prusa I3 M201

Post by Malaka » Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:49 am

Hey, I just recently ordered the Prusa I3 M201, can't wait to receive it and start printing.
I noticed it takes 2 filaments to one extruder to blend which is unique and interesting but I couldn't find out through the product details whether you can choose just one filament to be 100% with the second being vacant? Can this product work with just one or do I need to feed the identical filament with 50%/50%?

set the Mixer->OFP Max to 100%, save it and then you can change filament 0 or filament 1 to 100%, so you can use only one filament, but remember you still need to plug in 2filament in the hotend!

Thank you for the response, I was afraid it wouldn't do that because of the 96% - 4% that I read. That is perfect, I cannot wait to set it up. Thanks so much for the help.
