Questions about the new MMU
Just ordered the MK2.5 upgrade kit, now I'm interested in MMU2.0 too 😆
From the first videos / descriptions it does like a very solid unit which is well designed to tackle the MMU 1.0 issues.
However.. Would like to get some confirmation this MMU actually is a great upgrade w.r.t. usability, reliability and print quality.
Some questions:
Re: Questions about the new MMU
The MMU has manual controls on it so you can select or load the proper filament for a single extruder gcode file without having to completely remove the feeding assembly. That said, if you wanted to remove the MMU it should be as simple as disconnecting the tube from the extruder and printing as normal.
Re: Questions about the new MMU
Will anyone know if Slic3r would have a feature like a random filament selection to add to a print, either to help use up left over spools of filament or make random rings of colour on your model? like with the Palette+ .

I didn't think about it but it's a really good idea to be able to feed the extruder with almost empty spools and don't have to change them manually !
