Preparing a Two Material Object for 3D Printing
I've put together a tutorial for preparing a model in Wings 3D to have more than one material.
https://www.edwardlblake.com/wings3d/tutorials/two-material-3d-print.html
How it works
Some 3D printers have more than one extruder which allows them to use more than
one filament during a print. It's possible to create the object for such a print
in Wings 3D. It should be noted that printing with more than one filament requires
a printer with more than one extruder.
What you will need to do this:
- Wings 3D with the AMF or 3MF plugin (the latest version can be found on the forum).
- Slic3r or similar slicing software.
