finally all 5 colors

its not fancy, but its all 5.

I have to say the only real problem I had on install was filament path thru the gears and orange ugly tube.
I wonder how much they need to sell to consider injection molded parts, I get the cool idea to have a printer making printers (Skynet) but quality would be greatly increased.

no it seems I feel I need to print that damned sheep.....

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

damnit, I started the sheep and remembered I didn't calibrate 4 and 5. sounds rough, but I think it will finish my sheep. tis a shame I cant plug into the mmu via usb and change number values somehow. (hint hint)

as I was watching the MMU go thru the steps. I just noticed something that pissed me off when doing the manual MMU mode.
it went and changed filament. put 1 dot on...then changed filament. granted it's much funnier with the MMU doing it and not my manually changing filament.

Re: finally all 5 colors

you could if you want, start to reprint the MMU parts at a smaller layer resolution. prusa has like a weird .35mm layer height because it is just faster to pump out the parts. but you could run the selector at .05mm and have much cleaner transitions or run the extruder body at .2mm and have a cleaner entrance to the pulley around the sensor PCB. these are areas i did a bunch of hand sanding on to keep the filament end from hanging up.
over time these areas should also wear down.

it would be interesting to machine some of these parts from aluminum. they do give you the step and stl files.
