## Update 2014-9-23:
* Gmixer-2.0.py can run on Windows, Mac and Linux now. Comment here if you have a problem.
* Make sure around the cut height, the two to be mixed gcode files has one layer is on same height. Usually, you need to set the bottom layer of all sliced gcode files to same height .
## What does Gmixer do?
* This python script mixes different gcode files to generate a new one with different settings (infill, layer heights, etc) for different layers (It’s like DNA crossover.). The current version Cura does not have this function. With proper settings of infill and layer heights for different layers, you can save a lot of time and get a very good printing at the same time.
* This program has no GUI, so it’s not very user friendly. Everyone can use or edit my code freely. I have not enough time to improve it. I hope someone will. I hope someday the Cura developers will add this function.
## Installation:
* Python 2.7.x, download link: https://www.python.org/d
