Re: Successful MMU2 prints
that bronze stuff is neat. by mistake I ordered 2 rolls. gave me a reason to use it allot. but the copper is very very cool. even the start of the purge block looks cool
I could not find the correct settings to make it work with multiple filaments though, and I also noticed that it leaves a "glue-stick-like" deposit on the bed, presumably from the "shiny" additives. It also smelt different while printing, so it worries me just how safe to use it is. I also wonder what that deposit is doing to the inside the nozzle.

I just used default prusa pla settings, I think ill be due for a nozzle change soon so I can look at nozzle build up. BUT I have iron stuff to print that might clean it.
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
Re: Successful MMU2 prints
It's been a while, so I thought I would post another successful print, this time with the IR sensor:
200 mm, 60 hours, 4C, about 2,500 changes.

RE: Successful MMU2 prints
After 3 weeks of pain and annoyance, I have started building up successful prints.
The two tone Benchy was my first successful print (8ish hours, one tool change failure). This was followed by the yellow/green, green/yellow, and black/red spool holders (4 hours each, no issues). Finally last night I ran off the 5 color Benchy (11.5 hours, one load issue). Out of all of that only one tool change (outgoing filament had a long tail) needed help and one filament load did not go smoothly (missed the PTFE tube and curled out over the selector).
If you look closely at the hull of the 5 color Benchy it looks like there is bleed from bad tool wipes, but it's actually that the yellow is on the translucent side and I had it set to wipe to the infill so you're actually just seeing the infill there.

RE: Successful MMU2 prints
Electronics enclosure for my daughter's high school marching band.
32 hour print. 0.2mm layer height.
What really makes me happy is this is the first time I completed a long (>24 hour) multi-color print in PETG without a single intervention. I've done many in PLA but PETG was creating problems (due to the higher nozzle temp, I think).
