Dang, I thought the point of the Palette systems was to eliminate the need for purge blocks, since it's just supposed to splice the color into the line to keep printing.... but I guess I misunderstood. Thanks for the video, looks like it's a Bambu Lab X1 C for me instead!
I can't recommend the X1-C enough. I have 4 of them, now. No, splicing filaments together still leaves the need to purge the previous color before printing the next. Since the printer to which you connect the palette will likely not have a purge chute, then a tower is necessary. Even if your printer could purge off from the build plate, you would still want a tower to prime the nozzle after each color change.
Yeah, I wish I could do that with the Palette like I can with the X1C. But it doesn’t have that capability built in. I would have to do it externally, which I’m thinking I’ll do going forward.

Excellent video man, what a great print!
Thank you b
was hoping for a time-lapse of the print, but cool looking model.

Are you using Mosaics slicer, or P2PP?
@@grantdeisig1360 in this video, I was using Canvas, which is Mosaic’s painter/slicer.
