MK4 w/MMU3 printing ABS

Hi all,

First post here and new to Prusa. I have my printer working, printed a few items using the stock head then added the MMU3 and made all the necessary changes to the print head. Material loads fine, MMU3 is working mechanically as I see the head move and I can get the different materials get loaded. However, now I want to print things using ABS in different colors. This is exactly the reason I bought the MMU head... but I don't see ABS in the list. I've read in a post that there shouldn't be any issues, but aren't then how can I print using ABS if it's not available as an option when slicing?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi again,

Got in contact with Prusa support and the reason ABS cannot be selected when the MMU3 is enabled is that they haven't tested multi-colored prints with ABS and that's why ABS is not available to select.

Will testing be done for ASA, ABS, PC, PCCF for the MMU3?  If so when will it be finished?

No idea. You should contact them and ask. I'm new to Prusa and just got my stuff working last week.

Sorry,  just pointing out it may be a while for the other filaments.   I have seen no promises related to other filaments for the MMU3.
