Decided to do multicolor accents on a fosscad print and made a little cow from the purge material for my friend's kid

If you are using purge objects with you MMU you should start! Cuts the waste down to just mere grams.

This was made on a 3D chameleon hooked up to my K1 Max.

A) I was thinking of getting a K1 speedy. Don't know this 3d chameleon

B) what's the .22 thing?

B) I'm betting speed loader/loading aid.

Let's see what OP says!

It's the barrel block for a Not-A-Glock 22lr handgun

It's a 3rd party MMU. There isn't much documentation so you're kind of on your own setting it up which is a pain, once I got it figured out it runs very smoothly though.

I just permanently leave for spools loaded up with my most common colors, even if I do a single print I'll just use the mmu code so I'm not swapping spools for every print

That's cool! I bet mmu code was rough. Any word on what the .22 device is?

It's a barrel block for a glock

Aha that makes sense. I like it with the 2 color

This is so clever.

Just finished her less than an hour ago! Function tests are 100%, test firing soon :)

Will be posting more on fosscad in lemmy

How do you like the chameleon? I'm thinking about adding it to my k1.

[–] 4lan 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's a bit of a project but I can share my code which will give you a huge head start. There are good amount of people using it on a K1 too

The code the creator gives you is not great. It forces you to use filament 1 first even if it's not present in that print. I fixed that and other things, made it swap colors 4x faster

If you have no plans of getting another printer and love your K1 I think it's a great idea to just put an mmu on it

Here is a g-code guide I just wrote: https://www.3dchameleon.com/forum/printer-specific-installation/my-k1-max-g-code-updated

That's awesome, thanks a lot!

I guess the horns mean bull? 😂 I didn't consider that before
