Thank you for the good rating and for sharing the make
At first, I had issues with loading. Then altered the buffer with the redesigned 'buffer plate holder' and screws. Issues went away. So my suggestion is to make sure you add this:
"Update 05/16/2024: Redesign of the buffer plate holder so that it can be screwed on and locks into place at any point as well as before in slots 1+5. This is optional but recommended (you will also need 2x M3x30mm screws and 2x M3 nuts)."
Good idea but I had to make the filament path smoother.
Also it's a little bit annoying to push it all the way to the mmu
Outside of some odd stringing on just one of the pieces and probably needing to increase the purging volumes a bit, this came out well and I am looking forward to trying it out.
Wow. One of my first true MMU prints. I have never used PETG supports and they've worked wonderfully. I could have changed the purge settings, there's a little colour bleeding (blue). But overall a great print.
Used: basic white PLA, prusament ORANGE and blue PETG. Standard nozzle .4mm and .2mm layers.
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it printed flawlessly. Was my test print after building/installing my MMU3.
Thank you for your make and your feedback!
I'm glad to hear that the print turned out so well, especially as your first test after installing the MMU3.
Since you haven’t had the chance to test it in action yet, I’d be interested to know what led to the point deduction or if you already have any ideas for improvements. I'm always open to suggestions and optimizations.
Best regards!
This thing looks stunning and is a great concept. Unfortunately either I'm too clumsy to insert it or can't get behind the catch to do it correctly. I was only able to successfully load filament one out of 20 or 30 times or so. the other attempts resulted in the filament jumping out of the groove and crawling out of the MMU either at the top or bottom.
EDIT: Fixed. See below. (edited)
@Saphir Whoops, my bad. Works now. Thanks!
This loading fork has made my life so much easier already! This tool is very useful, and an easy print. The included guide on how to use multiple materials for easier support removal was very detailed and I will be using this trick for all my subsequent prints.
It's very nice to read that both the fork and the guide for the multi-material supports have helped you so much. Have fun with both. Happy printing
