Printing Modes

  • STACKER has three print modes: Single-part, Multi-part, and Multi-material
  • Single-part Mode: Print one part with one print head. For basic one-off printing. Load a part, print it.
  • Multi-part Mode: Print multiple copies of the SAME EXACT part. This mode only allows you to use one head per part. You can choose if you want to print two copies, three copies, or four copies of your part. Each hot end temperature can be independently adjusted!
  • Multi-material Mode: Print one part with more than one material type. This mode allows you to extrude multiple materials from more than one hot end onto the same part. Just to be clear, you can only print one part at a time in multi-material mode. Each hot end temperature can be independently adjusted. Example: print main part with head number 1 and support structure with head number 2.
