Re: any plan for color mixing hotend?

In order to colour-mix, you need multiple extruder stepper drivers, not something the RAMBo 1.3a or the Einsy has.

So at this moment in time, the answer is no.

Looks like they have an expansion kit that I plan on getting.

Hi David, that's not a colour mixing setup.

PJR Does Magic with it, but the impossible is still beyond reach
