After watching your video, one head that I think should work *VERY* well is a spindle that is specifically for travelling along the outside walls, trimming them to final size. That wouldn't take much power, yet would remove surface blemishes/over-extrusion/etc. You could even *deliberately* over-extrude a little just to have a smoother final finish. Does that make sense or am I missing something?
@CNC Kitchen Recently i wondered if there is a list of 3d printing materials for multimaterial 3d printing. Like which plastics stick to which, which ones should not be used in combination or something like that.
Overengineering practical parts is definitely a "weakness" I can relate to, because it's fun! Looking forward to a multi-nozzle printer for the same reason: being able to mix materials.
Actually PrusaSlicer offers the option to extend the skirt up to the last layer to prevent oozing for multi-extruder (advanced mode, under "multiple extruders --> Ooze prevention --> Enable). By setting the correct number of loops, you do not need a purge tower because the nozzle will purge on the skirt. I have used this with E3D Chimera hotend and it works quite well!
I absolutely loved this video style where you also show some tips in fusion. This is excellent for learning new tricks and I will definitely apply them
Was ich an deinen Videos liebe: Dedaktisch und qualitativ Spitze! Ich lerne immer was dazu und sehe neue Dinge! Die Multi-Tool Maschine ist sehr cool. Gerne mehr zu diesem Thema! Statt over-engineering sag ich gerne "Optimierung", diesen content lieb ich besonders. Dein neuer Style, dein Auftritt am Ende des Videos wirkte sehr frisch und glücklich das freut mich!
I cant wait for bambu lab to release a printer like this. The X1C just blows my mind every time I use it. Even when things go wrong, its amazing how easy it is to take it apart to fix the issue. Incredible job by the Chinese.
Actually this just demonstrates the beauty of material science. Composite material from steel to fibreglass have always show superior properties than natural material and this also elegantly demonstrates that.
Finally someone who does more than just multicolor prints or soluble supports! My most useful multi material print - yet - was a cable entry for a 2U rack frame with PETG front plate and flexible TPU fingers towards the cables.
Awesome! I am in the middle of building a Jubilee tool changer (based of E3D tool changer). I planned on doing the same thing (multi material prints), but with fiberglass filled nylon and TPU.
I tried printing a PETG backing with PLA letters on top (chosen because I had black PETG & white PLA) but the PLA didn't stick, however I did find that TPU & PETG stick well together to create unique properties, giving a combination of TPU flexibility and PETG rigidness when changing filaments between layers because I don't have the MMU setup.
This is one of those things that first appears to be a solution in search of a problem because foam tape would be easier however like you point out this could be used to do way more complicated things that would be difficult to do any other way.
It could be used for anatomical models / surgical training models. Pla for bones, TPU for muscle. Other ideas: Sandals. Mechanical buttons or keypads, maybe even including conducting filament as variable resistor. And of course, food printing would benefit from having multiple effectors. Deposit sugar paste in a layer with one toolhead, then flame it up with a heat gun.
I like using a toolchanger to have different nozzle sizes, even for the same material. I have a volcano on one tool and a regular e3d on the other. Still planning to use flexibles some day like you've done, so this video was very cool to see.
I've never thought of using overmolding techniques to get incompatible filaments to stick, I'm definitely going to try this using my chimera with PLA and TPU, as well as PC and nylon.
Have you heard of self folding 3d prints? It works using a PLA layers and a TPU layers, that when placed in hot water, creates a bend. Look up Thermorph if you want to learn more. I would love to see you try it Edit: Looking up Thermorph might not work anymore so I posted a better link in the replies

@@arvindmahadevan9337 I’m pretty new to 3D printing but I was thinking along similar lines this past week. I kept having a print in PETG fail after the first couple of layers... but these 2D junk pieces that were left over were very flexible, quite strong, and decently transparent. There must be some really nice use cases for even that.
It'd be interesting if slicers could create an "Material Interface" setting that allowed you to weave layers instead of manually having to create a draft to lock it in. Basically you could configure the depth the weave extends into each material, in a case like this you could have it 0 into TPU but have it go a few mm into the PLA, and then when it goes to print it alternates which material prints each layer in the zone created. The layers would probably have to be solid in those areas but I bet it could give a very tight bond by the end and decrease the need for manual modeling.
I am in awe! I am a pre-beginner, meaning I have a Dreamer NX sitting on my desk but I don't have a clue on how to use it beyond turning it on. I was unaware that it could be versatile to make useful things. My husband's gift to me is looking interesting. Thanks for sharing. 11/5/21
The new Cura has a feature of blending materials into one another so they adhere just perfectly! Even stuff that totally doesn't stick at all, like PLA and PETG!
First rule when you build a complex part : make only one instance ! Making multiple instances is only worth if you want to increase you production flow...
For the palette, I was able to print TPU (75A) and PLA but I had to change the spring on the palette for the TPU since the spring the unit came with was too stiff. It then worked fine.
I think there are many things to think about with a toolchanger. I would love a tool that goes around a 3D print in an exact way, removing stringing and maybe even support material. Just one thought.
The tool changer is not only great for multi color/material prints. Even when using just one material; swapping ABS for PLA or another lower temp. material is not always as easy as I would like. Sometimes swapping materials results in clogs during printing. Also for production cases a tool changer is great. The ability to just grab another tool and then clean the clogged one while you are printing the part with another tool is great.
I also noticed the "avoid crossing perimeters" doesn't really work in PrusaSlicer. I will try Cura next, somebody on forums suggested Cura does a better job at routing in general. It should make the stringing easy to remove by making moves outside the part, not just avoiding perimeters. I am happy both PrusaSlicer and Cura are open source projects and they are available on Linux.
Like he said, multi-material printers that use a single hotend are only good for printing multi-colour of same material. I did some tests on my MMU2S and found the same results www.antalife.com/2020/07/project-just-how-multi-material-is.html
In cura by using only two perimeters and adding an "extra infill wall count" you can have 3 tiered speed control to your perimeters adding a lot of strength and if you lower infill percentage to 10% or bellow one can reduce print time to 2 perimeter speeds and almost the same material usage and using my calibrated fingers and forearms seemingly no strength strength loss. Printed spheres sound like golf balls hitting the concrete
If you design the PLA and the TPU model to be overlapping then Cura will generate an interspersed pattern which makes the two hold together with a lot of friction. In the future some other patterns will be automatically generated to afix two models of incompatible materials.
It makes more sense to me to use multiple tool heads to drive large nozzles for fast printing while retaining a small nozzle for fine details on the exterior.
Guten Tag! a toolchanger in my opinion is primarily useful for "not minding the amount of filament left on the roll" - if the software allows to automatically switch over to the next extruder if the roll is empty. i personally do not like "stehrümchen" in questionalble design, but i need a lot of PLA for technical mockups.
Another great video! FYI You can export as a single STL and inside PrusaSlicer split into parts, or objects just to save time and keep the parts together in a file.
Try Superslicer. Enabling Ooze Prevention in Expert mode creates a 1 wall "skirt" around the parts. I think that's what you're looking for. Your profile for Prusaslicer should import since it's a fork. More settings to tinker with as well.
Thanks for the great video, Stefan! One thing you should know, I had originally watched this on Lbry and there's no way to Like or comment, naturally I subscribed.

Great video Stefan! I really enjoy the parts where you talk specifics on slicer settings for projects. I just did a video on the same little Among Us dude in multicolor haha XD Thanks for sharing footage of your tool changer in action!
That printer and the variable hardness TPU gives me an idea for custom insoles for people with foot problems. hard PLA or PETG for the arch support, TPU for the padding... im sure some company is already doing it, its too good of an idea.
Tool changer might be useful to print with two nozzle sizes: one big for infills and straight lines, and another one small for fine details. Just an idea )
I'd be very interested in seeing some experiments with laminate/composite test hooks. exploring whether two or more plastics with different mechanical properties could complement eachother.
what I would do with my stock Ender 3 v2 for a similar result : print separately the two pieces, one pla and one in tpu. Designing them in fusion 360 in a way that the tpu piece interlocks inside a recess created on the pla piece. It should be easy, tpu is flexible, just make the tpu connecting part lightly bigger than the recess on the pla part.
Exactly! For extra strength simply add superglue or epoxy to the recess and the two parts are not coming apart. Bonus, you can print hooks on one printer and padding pieces on another, thus increasing the speed because it does not have to change tool twice per layer, which is insane in my opinion.
Fyi, if you make a skirt as tall as the part you can get an ooze shield in PrusaSlicer. Uses a bit more material, but still works great for one part. Glad you got the purge block working, it didn't work well in 2.0 ish but ended up not mattering for my IDEX as parking the inactive nozzle over a silicone rubber pad stopped any oozing when inactive and PrusaSlicer sequences retractions during a tool change correctly. (something Cura fails at for some reason...)
PrusaSlicer may not have an ooze shield option yet, but a draft shield (under Print Settings > Skirt and brim > Draft shield) is somewhat similar, but a little less material-efficient
I'm creating a revolving hotend for my cr-10 to be able to do stuff like this, as well as having a layer of expensive material for the outer wall and cheaper same material on the inside.
Hot and cold rings for angle thermo fan treatment or direct energy hot cold treatment for curing of metals and glass and ceramics or temperature control hot oil dippings
this would be brilliant for making RC tires in the same way. I'm currently making wheels from 98A TPU and casting softer silicone rubber onto them with 3d printed moulds and this method would save me a lot of time
As a painter can say if those hooks are scratching the paint on a metal bar as it looks like... Then either the metal surface was prepared right (Primer, sanding and so forth...) Or/And the right type of paint wasn't used for it. Metal paints when dome right should be hard to scratch even with a knife. Yet alone non abrasive plastics. Still good video as always. Thank you.
I would love to do that to print objects that work like clothes hanger. One part is solid and another one springy to make it move or robot legs with tendons attached
Stuff like this is what tool changers/MMUs are for. For Prusa's MMU and Palate I wonder if a wipe brush would work. Kind of like we saw on the e3d tool changer printer.,
Both the MMU and the Palette have to purge the nozzle of the old material/colour completely before carrying on with the print and that is far too much material for a wipe brush to work I'm afraid.
Even if you only had it in Z that would still be pretty complex... without force feedback it seems like you would crash the head, and need some way to release the insert at the end. It would definitely be impressive.
I mean, the crazy dream with a tool hanger would be actual different tools. So maybe combining additive and subtractive manufacturing. And maybe pick n place stuff into the print. Like nuts, threaded inserts or even electronics :)
I have both the Henera and Omniadrop and I never had jam or failure with the Omniadrop, but the Hemera did have some issues. Plus the Omniadrop is easy to maintain and the whole extruder assembly much lighter than the heavy-as-a-mercedes Hemera.
