Height of MMU 2.0  

Re: Height of MMU 2.0

I measured from the top of the heat bed with the build plate removed to the highest point of the PTFE and I get 19.5 inches (495.3 mm).

I hope that helps.

Big help thanks Jeremy.

I have around 67mm from table to top of heat bed so that makes around 562 mm all up.

My height is 570mm, (after taking into account a 10mm thick mat for vibration absorbtion) which just gets me there.

I'll never be printing MMU at max Z so things should work out nicely.

Thanks again.

You may never print that high but you will need the space if you ever have to recalibrate your Z.

Good point Richard.

Looks like I'll have 2 or 3 mm to spare......or else I could ditch the mat and go for something a bit thinner. 😀

Doh! There's no way this thing is going to fit in my stacked LACK enclosure. Going to have to print some stand offs to increase the height of the table legs or something. Unless we can mount the MMU outside the enclosure some how... Hmmm...

On the blog post here ( https://www.prusaprinters.org/multi-material-upgrade-2-0-is-here/ ) they wrote that they are working on something:
Rest assured, we’re working on an updated enclosure, which will keep plenty of previous parts (most importantly – the plexiglass) from the previous version, but some new parts will be, obviously, required. We’ll publish a comprehensive article when everything’s ready!

So may be interesting to see what they come up with.

edit: How easy would be it be to access the 3 buttons on the MMU if there is a cover above? The buttons seem to be located a bit above the frame, quite to the back and angled, so it seems you need to have access to them from above?

Re: Height of MMU 2.0

Hi all.

I planning my cabinet build. Sounds like 560mm is the minimum I should plan for when I add the MMU?

I’m thinking of 25” interior height which is 635mm?

Cheers

You might get some ideas by how I solved the LACK rack issue:
