How does it work?
We developed software which is able to change the percentage of both extruders in your gcode while printing. For example, printing from 100% yellow (bottom) to 100% pink (top) will create an orange hybrid. The best way to explain how color mixing works is to compare it with toothpaste tube. Squeezing 2 colors through 1 opening.
