Multimaterial

Quick update, did a multimaterial test yesterday with the following:

PETG translucent, AMS TPU, TPU 95A and PLA-CF. All but the TPU 95A work. I am currently looking into why the 95a one doesnt work. I think it has to do with the temperature, flexibility and strength required to push the old filament forwards. The system itself can handle the retraction and pushing of the filament to and from the extruder. Its just the pushing of old filament that it really doesnt like.

More coming! For buyers there will be a private discord where the project can be discussed as "open-source" for people to collaborate etc. Creations can further be posted on the launchpad for everyone to view and buyers to download. Rewards for creators coming ofcourse. Those not interested in that can still buy and enjoy the complete product and everything the community has to offer for it.

This allows creators to also focus more on wjat they like, creating and takes care of infrastructure audience marketing etc.

I'll buy once I see success stories of other clients.

The title.

I'll feel comfortable buying once I see other people that purchased and printed it successfully first.

I ask the owner to try and collect the success stories here to create a sense of trustworthiness.

MechAMS printing and switching video | last reddit post!

The attached video shows the mechams system functioning. Its not sped up, the oozing seen is due to a too large difference between the unload and load length, which can be modified in the gcode to basically 0. All other movements etc in regards to the swapping is customizable. I think a 1 to 1.5 minute swap is achievable.

I have had an overall bad experience interacting on reddit in regards to my project.

I have therefore decided that this will be the last post on reddit related to MechAMS. The project is not over and I will continue working and expanding it to other printers with more accessories etc. Follow the other socials to stay posted for that!
