I just stumbled across this. Open source, 4 color mixing. Am I the only one that didn’t know about this?

I´ve seen the mixing head before but was curious if the used motors had enough torque to drive the filament a normal speeds as they print pretty slow in demonstrations. The design seems to be interesting though. Except that strange cr10 clone.

This seems pretty cool. Have to see one in use before I know if I want one.

“…this is the first affordable four color 3d printer.” What about Prusa??

@Thomas_Whiting I didn’t watch, but guess if they could clarify, it would be that this is a continuous mixing extruder. Prusa MMU only feeds one color at a time, the only mixing is when purging the previous color.
