Black & white results in grey

Hey there,

got my MK2 upgraded to MM and it works well for now. Iloaded some black and white PLA and it looks okay but it looks like it could need more priming on the white to actually not make it grey when printing.

I looked around but couldn't find a way to set this up. What am I missing?

Cheers,
Frank

Hi there,

wipe tower now is standard, but does anyone have a specific PLA suggestion where white does not turn into light grey.

The bottom is white, once black starts it mixes with white to grey. With grey and black I experienced differences. My "cheap" grey does the same as my "cheap"  white. But using the originaly Prusa Pla silver from filament PM in conjunction with black - there are non streaks of colour.

thanks

Stefan

if you can imagine it - if you can design it - you should print it!

@stefanb7110 you need to adjust your purge settings. Chapter 9.4.2 in the manual.
