How to Hack Simplify3D 4.2.1 for Multi-Extruder Printing
Simplify3D is a powerful desktop software that allows you to prepare your 3D models for printing with a variety of settings and options. One of the features that Simplify3D offers is the ability to print with multiple extruders, which can be useful for creating multi-color or multi-material prints.
However, some users have reported that Simplify3D 4.2.1 has a bug that prevents them from using multiple extruders properly. The bug causes the software to ignore the extruder selection for some parts of the print, such as support, infill, rafts, or perimeters. This can result in unwanted color mixing or material waste.
Fortunately, there is a workaround that can help you hack Simplify3D 4.2.1 and enable multi-extruder printing without any issues. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Open Simplify3D and load your 3D model.
Click on Edit Process Settings to open the FFF Settings window.
Go to the Extruder tab and select the extruder you want to use for your model. For example, if you have two extruders and you want to use the second one, select Extruder 2.
Go to the Layer tab and scroll down to the Ooze Shield section. Check the box that says \"Enable ooze shield\" and set the Extruder column to 0. This will tell Simplify3D to use the first extruder for the ooze shield, which is a thin wall that surrounds your model and prevents oozing from the other extruder.
Go to the Infill tab and scroll down to the Infill Extruder section. Set the Extruder column to 0 as well. This will tell Simplify3D to use the first extruder for the infill, which is the internal structure of your model.
Go to the Support tab and scroll down to the Support Extruder section. Set the Extruder column to 0 again. This will tell Simplify3D to use the first extruder for the support material, which is the scaffolding that supports your model during printing.
Go to the Additions tab and scroll down to the Raft section. Check the box that says \"Enable raft\" and set the Extruder column to 0 once more. This will tell Simplify3D to use the first extruder for the raft, which is a base layer that helps your model stick to the print bed.
Click OK to save your settings and close the FFF Settings window.
Click on Prepare to Print and preview your print. You should see that Simplify3D has assigned different colors for different parts of your print based on your extruder selection. The model should be in one color (the second extruder), while everything else should be in another color (the first extruder).
If everything looks good, you can proceed with printing your multi-extruder model using Simplify3D 4.2.1 without any problems.
Note: This hack only works if you have two extruders and you want to use one of them for your model and the other one for everything else. If you have more than two extruders or you want to use different extruders for different parts of your model, you will need to use the Dual Extrusion Wizard instead of this hack.
