Will the MMU3 be able to handle PVA supports for PVA prints well?

Hello all,

Now that the MMU3 is in peoples hands - the only thing I really want to do with my MMU3 is print supports in PVA so I never have to remove supports from difficult prints again. Assuming my main print is PLA - is this something the MMU3 can do well? I have a Mk4.

Thanks!

Mk4 is currently approved for PLA and PETG. PVA May work. give it a try... 
I have just used PLA as the interface for PETG print with PETG Supports, the Support parted easily at the PLA Layer

RE:

I'm with you on MMU use only for supports. I've been trying with PETG and HIPs, but my print breaks apart at the support interface layer.   The term MMU is doesn't quite seem accurate.  It should be called MCU, for multi color unit, because it doesn't seem to handle different materials well. Even if they are printed are same temp.
