Software
Slicer Configuration
The system uses custom G-code for the printer, which means that all options related to the model and filament remain fully customizable. To fine-tune settings related to the mechanism itself (such as speed, purge length, and timing), you can use the G-code Generator. This tool lets you adjust parameters through a simple interface and generates the required G-code automatically, so you never have to edit G-code manually.
By using a custom printer profile, it is easy to switch between regular use and MechAMS use while keeping the ability to import MakerWorld models directly, even when using the system.
What stays in the profile
The MechAMS profile stores the generated toolchange behavior for the calibrated printer setup. Revisit it when slot count, calibration, printer version, or generator tuning changes.
What changes per model
Choose colors and materials in the slicer, then match those filament numbers to the physical slot map. The printer follows that map; it does not identify filament colors electronically.
