Multi-MATERIAL-Unit - PETg/TPU/PLA
People keep asking for my settings.
Here's a print with Pet-g on two (1,2) channels, TPU (3,4), and PLA (5). 47 Tool Changes, 1H 12M to print.
Included is the small model (15-ish layers) which is a mashup of a couple prints I found online.
2.74 grams (0.64 obj, 2.1 tower)

Heh, don't get too excited about my settings. I've had a couple issues towards the end of this print. It may well be experimental firmware on the MMU, but these settings aren't quite gospel at this point.
Still, they work and it's a good starting point, perhaps with more people in the space we can all develop some solid settings.

Huh. Well, after my shorter bowdens, increased cooling, new firmware.... It almost doesn't seem to matter what settings I use. I can print with PLA settings or PetG settings or TPU or whatever, and all the materials work.
I imagine once everyone gets the filament slack/retraction/wallets and new firmware on the MMU we'll just see a lot more completed prints. I haven't tackled any really big stuff yet as I try to keep the machine open for testing.

Thank you. I was wondering about printing with TPU. This opens up a lot of options. I appreciate you sharing your settings.

Tagging this to go back to once I get my MMU back together.
