Using that extra filament to make an object is brilliant, simply brilliant

[senurasenaratne]

my ender 3 started to print like that, it was a loose concentric nut. they probs forgot to bring the tools to the expo lol

Joel is good at these, at distilling the painfully bad sales pitches into snappy bullet points.

Hopefully, it's not some regular rc servo. I used to do small medical tube cutting, and we would change the high quality german manufactured cutting blades every 500 cuts. This required a nice square tube, but I can't imagine an xacto lasting much longer without cutting forces going up. The machines we used were pneumatic extend and retract.

[Tom_Neverwinter]

This actually sounds like a good advancement for the community

Great to be here! Thanks Joel and David for this amazing content 💫

I was hyped about this, unfortunately after this video my hype was reduced to zero, the model on the print bed had many layer shifts, the quality was meh, the purge block was massive, cutting and purging to a block only is a bad idea unless your print bed is huge, why do you think the bambu poops ? Not to save material to save print space, a 20 colour print on an ender 3 sized bed would be comical, the organisation of the tubes and spools looks messy, the articulated print in the video shown as the purge block was not the purge block, it was a wipe to object and there was still a purge block on top of that too which needs to be clear, you can’t just wipe to an object and have no purge on top you still have a big purge block too, I feel like all the advancements they made with the chroma pad are overshadowed by everything else that is not as developed and as advanced as the chroma pad, just my 2 cents from the video, nothing but love for you joel ❤

By the time your done with the cost of the printer, 4 extruders, the main hub and unit your cost is pretty up there. Why not just jump into a Bambu that has all this already? Just asking because I like the concept and is cool but just trying to see the benefit of "compatible" vs fully designed to work with an AMS.

joel looks so tall in this video 😂
on topic: the co print looks so cool! it's finally the multi-color printer adapter that everyone was hoping the A1 Mini (no flack just slight misadvertisement) was being advertised as. i'm super excited for this

[Chriss_Workshop]

I remember seeing an ad for this about a week ago. Pretty dope addition i'd love to upgade a machine with. Also, side note. Jesus that purge block

[TimothyStovall]

Bought an Elegoo Neptune Plus a few weeks back, and really enjoy it. Saw this video shortly after, and recognized immediately how much of a game changer this thing is, but didn't really think about backing it at the time. Since then, I've have been, I guess somewhat, promoting myself to all these small business owners who are my clients, and seeing where I can design and create things for their businesses. Made me rethink the kickstarter, and realize how good of an investment it can potentially be. Certainly at the kickstarter price point. Got on and saw there was one more spot for the Hyper Early Bird KCM Set. Score. Nice B-Day present since the campaign also ends today on my birthday. Almost feels like the last spot was reserved for me. lol With the designs and creations spinning around in my head, this tool will certainly help bring those ideas to fruition easier. Switching between colors is cool, but it's the switching between different types of filament and operating range that sold me.

I had never seen a drunk castle before but now I have.

I really like this a lot, and will be buying one or three in the very near future. I have to admit that I am concerned with how the cable seems to be dragging across the edge of the bed. Is there a way to mount this so it does not interfere with the print bed?? I have two printers that I want to use this on, one is an Ender 3 V3 SE, which does not have any 2020 or 2040, how can I attach this to that printer?? My other printer is an Ender 5 Plus, and I'm getting ready to buy a Tronxy 600x600x600 printer, is the cable that connects to the print head long enough to work with large 3D printers?? And lastly, can I upgrade from the BLTouch to a CRTouch??

[BelviGER]

So basically a palette like system but right above the hotend? So like a direct drive palette?

Or am I missing something?

[RJRiemensnider]

I can't wait to find out more. I want this on my Voron with Revo Nozzles.

[themacbookgamer]

Currently watching while printing on my Neptune 4 Pro. Now I kinda want the multi color upgrade...

[Thelocalgamer]

I love how you up load every day!!!!❤❤

[boemioofworld]

I see creality are partnering with them. Any idea when this would come for ender series?

[volkan]

excellent tecnology, i will grab one of them

[Ice_]

I backed them on Kickstarter. Going to give this a shot on and Ender 5 Plus I think. I’d like to run it on one of my K1 Max machines, but I think you’d lose too much build volume for my liking due to the size of the print head.
