Quadro. Four independent toolheads. Kickstarter price $649.

But if you reserve before August 25, you get it for $499 — $150 cashback plus $50 store credit. That’s $400 off the $899 MSRP.

After the 25th the benefit drops from $200 to $100. Same printer, $100 more.

Here’s what $649 buys: four toolheads on one gantry, each holding its own filament in a sealed dock. No unloading. No purging. 90% less waste, 70% less time than systems that purge. 300×300×300mm. Open source. One year warranty.

3,000 people reserved before we’d even shown them a price. Reservations are $20 and fully refundable — and the $20 comes back with your cashback, so holding your spot costs nothing.

We also ran a price-guess giveaway last week. Winners are announced in our Facebook group.

Hi everyone,

We just published Co Print Quadro Progress Update #2, where we share the latest stage of Quadro’s development process and show one of the working prototypes performing a multi-color print for the first time.

Quadro is our next-generation multi-color 3D printer built around four independent toolheads. Unlike single-nozzle systems that rely on long filament unload/load cycles for every color change, Quadro uses a multi-toolhead architecture designed to make color transitions faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

In this update, we covered several key areas of development:

First 4-color print test
One of the current Quadro prototypes completed a 52 x 58 x 60 mm 4-color dragon model in 2 hours and 58 minutes, including the print preparation process. The test was performed with standard settings such as a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height.

During this test, the color change time between the two farthest toolheads was measured at 3.7 seconds without the prime tower process and approximately 8 seconds including the prime tower. The model was completed with 541 color changes.

Qdock Station / Clean Nozzle System
Quadro has dedicated parking stations on both sides of the X axis. When a toolhead finishes its task, it moves to its park station, where the nozzle is cleaned, sealed, and cooled down to standby temperature. The next toolhead is automatically preheated before it is needed, so the print does not have to wait for the nozzle to reach printing temperature.

This system is designed to reduce filament leakage, nozzle contamination, and unwanted marks on the print surface during multi-color printing.

360° Toolhead Calibration
Because Quadro uses four independent toolheads, each toolhead must return to the same reference point after every color change. Small positional differences caused by assembly, manufacturing tolerances, or mechanical variation can directly affect print quality.

To solve this, Quadro uses a dedicated 360° calibration system. Each toolhead moves to the calibration area and touches the calibration rod from multiple directions. T0 is used as the reference toolhead, while the positional offsets of T1, T2, and T3 are calculated relative to T0 and compensated through software. This allows all four toolheads to work together as one synchronized system.

StatusLight Feature
Each toolhead now includes a dedicated StatusLight bar. These lights provide real-time visual feedback during tool selection, filament loading, and printer operation.

For example, when a tool is selected from the filament screen, only the selected toolhead lights up while the others turn off. Once the selected filament is successfully loaded and detected by the filament sensor, the StatusLight changes to match the filament color. This makes it easier to see which color is loaded in each toolhead directly on the printer.

Community feedback turned into product improvements
A major part of this update is based on feedback we received from the community. Some of the improvements added or planned include:

• Skip Object support in QuadrOS
• High-resolution wide-angle camera system
• Open-source and community-friendly software approach
• Klipper-based QuadrOS
• OrcaSlicer support with Quadro-specific additions
• Smart maintenance management
• 300 x 300 x 300 mm build volume
• More rigid mechanical structure using aluminum parts for critical components

We also shared that Quadro is moving closer to the final stages of mechanical design, software development, and system validation. After prototype testing and optimization, the next steps include finalizing design parameters, starting plastic injection processes, and preparing for mass production.

Quadro is planned to launch for pre-order through a Kickstarter campaign in Q4 2026.

We would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and questions. What do you think about the multi-toolhead architecture, the 360° calibration system, the Qdock station, and the overall direction of Quadro?
