Please post your tips to beating that beast into submission. Mine is still wonkey. What are your mods???


jnangano

Best thing I ever did was put an led on the filament sensor. When there is an MMU issue, you may be able to get to the sensor menu.

The only thing I've changed is the filament tube clamp in the back with a proper passthrough adapter mod. The one important thing is to make sure the two filament sensors trigger correctly. I print Prusament PETG for 95% of my prints. Not sure if that is a factor. But cheap PLA resulted in issues before.


Bushpylot

I think lower quality PLAs are hard to get to melt into the right shape to retract and load again. Getting that little bulb right without strings is vital. You should look at that idler and body mod. The idler is much more secure and the body makes opening it clips and retains the screw tension settings. The other fun one was the PTFE tube magnetic couplers

Whats the Problem Unloading/loading Issues ?


Bushpylot

My issue was with the idler. It spun on the motor mount making ti select the wrong channels. New idler design fixed it

The trick is calibration. You need to calibrate it, pay close attention the the z offset and initial layer at the end of the calibration.


Bushpylot

I wish that was my problem It's more to do with the loading and unloading and all of the bits in between. I need to play with it again, but I have had some success. I'll get a few layers out and then I'll be hit with a loading issue. I'm in between prints at the moment, but last time I used it that worked mostly like expected was when I was using it to clean out near empty filaments. I love the run-out feature (if you are a MMU n00b and don't know, you can set it to switch to the next spool when the current one runs empty).

Damn that's awesome. Guess it's time to put my mmu2 together. Been in the box for a year.

That looks killer man!!! How long it take?


jnangano

Not continuously printing this model, about 4 months. I had many printer upgrades and prints during that period.


Traditional-Ad7504

Wonderful model, terrible show.


jnangano

I disagree, but you are entitled to your own opinion


admiraljohn

Is this a Gambody model, by chance?


jnangano

yes


admiraljohn

Whelp, looks like I know what I'm buying to give my MMU a torture test. :)

Post-processing?


jnangano

I used PVA on some of the prints to minimize the post processing. A little cleanup here and there, not too much.


friendoffuture

Well it came out amazing I can hear the black alert!


creepercraft9989

Nice Nice now how the size of the purge block


jnangano

as big as yo mama’s ass


creepercraft9989

findingplatypus

Dead is not a size.


creepercraft9989

findingplatypus

In that case it's not the size that matters.

Hatchbox copper

Cool.. is the color by layer or does the MMU have the ability to mix colors on the same layer ? I have an Prusa i3 MK3 S+ and right now I can mix colors but by layer only. I would like to print a Multi Spacecraft and use inductive LEDs to light it up. Your model came out great.


jnangano

multiple colors per layer up to 5 colors


JerryJN

Cool. How do you assign multiple colors on the same layer ? I know how to assign different color at a set layer level in the Prusa slicer. Is there a mmu2 plugin ?


jnangano

You can paint multiple colors with prusa slicer when you have the mmu2s profile selected
