change from tool 0 to tool 1
what code and were would i insert it to get the printer to go from tool 0 to
tool 1 , so that the letters a are different color than the tag ?
pet_name="NAME"; //Your pet name
phone_number="000-0000000"; //Your phone number
bone_height = 5; //Tag height in mm
font_height=2; //Font height in mm
module t(t){
translate([-1,(-len(t)*3.8),bone_height])
rotate([0, 0, 90])
linear_extrude(height = font_height)
text(t, 10, $fn = 16);
}
module t2(t){
translate([-1,(-len(t)*3.8),bone_height])
rotate([0, 0, 90])
linear_extrude(height = font_height)
text(t, 7, $fn = 16);
}
//bone
//left side of bone
translate([-10,-30,0])
{
translate([20,0,0]) cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14);
cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14);
};
//right side of bone
translate([-10,30,0])
{
translate([20,0,0]) cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14);
cylinder(h=bone_height, r=14);
};
//center of bone
translate([-15,-25,0]) cube([30,50,bone_height]);
translate([0,-5,0])
t(pet_name);
translate([11,14,0]) t2(phone_number);
//tag attachment
difference(){
translate([-16,0,0]) cylinder(r=6, h=bone_height);
//prevents non-manifold
translate([-16,0,-1]) cylinder(r=3, h=((bone_height)+2));
}

Somebody with more (more than zero!) experience with multiple extruders
will probably provide more information, but I may be able to help a
little right away...
OpenSCAD per se won't help you. The models it produces don't have any
color/material/tool marking. (And, for STL, that's pretty much the way
it is.) There are some ideas being floated but they haven't been
implemented.
What I believe you need to do is to generate two models, one for each
material, and then recombine them in the slicer.
Probably you would have your OpenSCAD program run in one of three
modes: all parts (probably with preview coloring), the first material,
and the second material.
If it's just a small number of prints, there's another option to just
keep the model as it is and define a manual filament swap pause in
the slicer at the height where the main plate ends. This works with a
single extruder by swapping filament at that point. I don't know if
it also allows for manual tool change by sending the appropriate
g-code.
Maybe there's also some specific slicer option to swap tools at some
given height, but I don't know any details as I never had a printer
with more than one extruder.
ciao,
Torsten.
Thank you very much

Having a dual extruder I can confirm my experience is exactly as Jordan
Brown describes. Two STL files, combine in slicer. AND I have used
"conditionals"/"defines" in the openSCAD code to make it run in 3 "modes".
