Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
So, I know I put my deposit for a multihead unit 6 weeks after the initial launch date, and got an email that the multi head would ship in July….
I was expecting maybe something in August or September….
I noticed the multihead instructions are not out yet so…. Still not shipping yet???
RE:
I placed my order on a two-head on Nov 21st 2021 but haven't receive any direct email yet.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
Directly from the help page:
The dual-tool assembled printers are shipping already (shipping started in the week of June 19th). We are switching pre-orders placed on November 21st, 2021.
The five-tool assembled printers will follow in the week of July 24th.
The dual-tool semi-assembled printers will be ready in the week of July 31st.
The five-tool semi-assembled printers will be ready in the week of August 7th.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
I'll have mine Friday, maybe Thursday if I'm lucky
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
I find it strange that they don't ask users yet about switching orders?, I ordered the dual-tool semi assembled, on 18.nov, but want to swithc to five-tool semi assembled, but it seems like I have to wait for 31st July++ to be able two switch?
I would think it would be in their interest to know how many are switching this or that way to make sure they have components enough?
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
I wonder if Pre empting the switch offer with an email may be beneficial.
Prusa took notice of my emails when the MMU1 upgrade was first offered... Yeah a long time ago... I am a dinosaur... Lol

RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
Ah, not a bad idea, emailed them, could only find the info@ email though, worth the try at least.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
You just have to ask them via chat. I switched mine just chatting with them two weeks ago and it only took a few minutes!

Switched from to?
I got answer through email: "The dual-tool semi-assembled printers will be ready in the week of July 31st., you can expect your switch email shortly after. The five-tool semi-assembled printers will be ready in the week of August 7th - that's when you'll be able to upgrade."
On the shipping page,. there are only the one head printers, and dual head assembled printer-orders that are allowed to switch so far. Maybe they have ideas behind this, but if I was working on this, I would know early how many orders that are going to get changed to accommodate for that under production.
But if it is similar as the mk4 orders, it seems to be insanely amounts of printers ordered the first day, so it will take lot of time (I ordered my mk4 kit april 12th 17:42, so I got that first july 3rd :), and I hear they still are shipping first day orders.. would be cool to hear the numbers 🙂
RE:
That is what I was trying to figure out. Even first day orders could be weeks or months longer. They really need to add an order number guidance as to when the units will ship.
I'm back up to $1300 that PRusa is holding for printers that will come 'sometime'.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
$1,300 would you be the person who bought 10x XL in the spreadsheet?

Mk3 upgrade, mmu3, and an XL, off the top of my head.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
Yes. I received my two-head assembled unit last Wednesday and am printing with it since yesterday. My pre-order was for partially assembled on the day of the announcement. So far, the print quality is excellent including perfectly smooth extrusion and perfect first layers. The toolhead change is very fast and the system automatically figures out when to cool down and then heat up during the print, so a docked head isn't sitting there "frying" the filament. There is clearly room to optimize firmware and software for multiple heads, but it isn't overly frustrating once I figured out how it works.
The amount of filament required to reach the nozzle is quite long. It is nice, though, that the filament is inclosed all the way to the head, helping to keep it dry if left in the printer. I run my dry box bodens directly into the insertion point on the side of the unit so the filament is fully contained. I am not using the spool holders provided.
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
How are your multi color prints out of the unit ? I have gone through 6 different rolls of PLA at varying temperatures and settings and can’t seem to find a sweet spot for a smooth good multi color print with out blobbing . If I do a single color one extruder print it flawless soon as I add a second color option with the second extruder it goes downhill .
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
No such issues. Using default Prusament settings for PLA. I've used Prusa's PLA combined with a silk PLA.

Hi,
Pre-order placed 19/11/2021 in the morning for dual heads... No news!
Still waiting the email...
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
If you see the previous post Poor XL prints with Multi Tool you can just some of the issues . I’ve gone through now trying a dozen different rolls of filament and it’s always the same . Starting wonder if there’s an issue with the second extruder extruder assembly
RE: Ummm, so… anyone have one yet?
Have you thought about rebuilding it?

This was all pre-assembled by them , I have started to dissect it yet

I ordered mine Nov. 18, 2021, 6:44 PM per the email sent to me by Prusa upon conversion of my pre-order (10:44 AM my local time). I received my pre-assembled dual-head last week.
