r/Ender3V3KE

I just bought a used Ender 3 v3 KE which is amazing. It's my first foray into 3D printing and I am having fun so far.

I am also using OrcaSlice to slice the stl files.

I know that the KE does not support multi color filaments (without pausing), which is fine for now.

In Orcaslice I know I can implement multiple colors on a per layer basis with a pause in the gcode. This only works if my intention is for the entire layer to be the new color.

I saw a post here about a large 3D Lego head and having some purging issues with the black eyes.

My question is, is it possible to incorporate a different color for only a portion of the layer? Or is it too finicky and complex?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

​Hi! My Ender 3 V3 is not reaching the end of the X-axis correctly. I ran a bunch of tests on the microswitch and the switch is working.

​I noticed an issue when I started a print and it started far more to the right instead of the center of the bed. So I started to test, and when I did the auto-leveling calibration, the X-axis was hitting the right side of the printer at the first line of the calibration.

​Then I cleaned the belt, checked the tension, tested the microswitch click, and checked if the switch plug was loose.

​And then I tested again and... it got worse. The X-axis was stopping halfway, not even close to where it should be.

Help please, I don't know what else could be.
