$600 dollar item but it’s cool and I want it. I just don’t want it to be half of a printer that does multicolor prints 😢
Anyone know of any open source alternatives?
@@_specters_ Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder. It's open source, but only works with Klipper.
That's why I bought a x1c, the price of this is crazy IMHO, I'd happily drop a couple of hundred on it but anything beyond that
Bambu printer supports multicolor too and you will be getting the best printer you can ever have at a decent price
For around 700 you can get a Bambu printer that does multicolor prints.
I'm literally sitting rn watching the last few feet of a spool run out to swap it. My printer has an auto sensor and will pause it, load a new filament, purge and continue
What printer is this?? 👀
@@brody2590 sorry i wasnt very clear in that response😅 artillery sidewinder, has a filament sensor, Pauses the print if it runs out, sets an alarm off, lets you load another filament (or you can swap midprint if you want for multi colors) and resume the print. Sorry🤣 re-reading my post i get what you read😅
Has it finished printing yet?
This is awesome but for the price I’d rather build an ERCF. And while while Bambus are another similar priced option I just don’t think I could give up klipper for a closed system.
I use the near used spools for my weed trimmer.
does this work? My filament seems to break easily so I did not thought something like this could be done.
Lol I was racking my brain trying to work out how you could use it to trim cannabis, then it dawned on me. 🤣
That's funny. I was wondering if my spool of weed eater line could be used as a filament because it's an obscure color. 😂
@@justing7490 I remember reading another comment on youtube of a guy that tried it. It's not more cost efficient though.
@justin g yeah I think it was cnc kitchen that tried it. It's nylon so it's a "cheap" way to get small batches of nylon. (It's more money per gram than filament but if you don't need a lot it is cheaper) it's slightly thinner than 1.75mm filament so you need to play with flow rates.
That's a very great tool
it’s great to know that there are some options
I do this in my Bambulabs X1C. Kinda made the palette redundant tbh.
I just thought of another use. I have some filament that will not stay adhered to my bed. No matter what I do. It just comes loose at some point. I could do a layer or 2 with some stuff that adheres fine then switch to the stuff the stuff that doesnt.
tb yes, you could, as logn as they adhere to each other that would work.....
now i wodner if itd work using pla on the bed adhesion then use a high shrinkage filament ontop, to stop the shrink issues
as a correction, using a bed/raft of pla, which does not peel or shrink back, then a raft/supports inwhich the filament is changed so by the time actuall model is started the pla is purged, and model filament nylon or abs stuff
@any1alive I imagine it should work, similar in principle to using a different filament for supports that might be cheaper and not as good of quality and the better quality stuff for the actual print.
Clean it with vodka and if it's still a problem it's probably just cheap or defective filament
My main grief with the palette 3 is the lack of integration, I’m working on some integration with killer and mainsail mainly for automating the loading and for filament runout/motion and slowdown during splicing.
Since their source code for the palette 3 firmware isn’t open I have to reverse it and therefore I’m unsure if I would ever be able to share my work publicly.
Maybe get another guy or a group which won't reverse engineer the Pallete firmware in any way but instead do all the programming for you, while you give a general idea of what the original does without spilling any of the proprietary code
Now where to find one?
Am I the only one the sets a timer and hand feeds the next roll? I even do it with the AnkerMake
I do something similar with my AnkerMake M5 👋
When I saw the CR-10 Max my heart skipped a beat. It's by far the worst printer I have ever owned..and I owned a lot.
I have mine modded to a sweet spot. It's my got to for anything large like this.
Cool, but more than I spent on both of my printers.
It takes more work, but I can program the gcode on your slicer and manually splice filament at the designated pauses.
This is legit the coolest thing ive ever seen, totally gunna try and hunt one down! Splicing filament by hand is such a big hassle
There are a few types of tools that make it easier
If rather just let the filament runout sensor puase the print and manually splice the next roll
So all I have to do is buy an expensive, time consuming, unreliable Palette? Hmmm. I'd sooner just use the partial spools for prototyping things that are not colour sensitive.
Might be a good way to put my otherwise unused Mosaic to use.
Great idea. But still too expensive.
Wauw .. cool printing multicolor without a multicolor printer !
how about a filament runout sensor though? 3 dollars or so in cost and the only cost is you having to swap the spool over manually once it's empty
damn that's cool! looks like it'll hurt the wallet tho 😅
This is probably the best information I have heard regarding three d printers
It cost more then the printer so why would you buy it ?????
get a small bit of capricorn tubing and a lighter to splice filament together
I use my nearly empty spools to print supermarket cart coins. Two problems solved plus 600 $ not spent.
you're better off buying a 3d pen and using the filament with that
UA-camrs get a bit out of touch, when they think that buying a device worth of 2 Ender printers is considered a 3d printing tip. 😂😂😂 i get it - you got it from the sponsor for free. There are simpler fillament splicers for 60$ on Amazon and it is still a bit too much. 😅
... you know you can splice filament with a lighter and a small length of PTFE tube, right?
What the frig? Nah…that’s crazy 😳 mate!
I don't suppose it works on printers with bowden tubes?
It does.
Another approach: use 5 or even 10 kg spools.
I do. But I also have leftovers between 200g & 1500g 😂 (printparts are 5-20kg)
Can it use PVA support???
Or just get a bambu lab printer with AMS.
One of my printers is direct drive, so I’m able to do this manually as long as I’m home to watch it 🙃
It's a great option but the price not so much
Can the Prusa MMU do this too?
Infinite spool mode or Spool Join mode, yes it supports it. ERCF does too.
Why waste precious Bambu filament? That stuff is expensive because of the ecosystem you’re not even using!
...for 600$
Stupid expensive, can't someone just invent a better splicing print we can use?!?
Hopefully more companies copy the same format and do their own versions. Remember kids, the more competition, theres a chance of a low in price. (Thats if someone starts low)
Until UA-cam allows us to block shorts, the only way to get them off my feed is to unsubscribe from channels making them.
Not everyone likes them, fair enough. I am making one every two to three weeks. I personally don't think they are obtrusive, especially with that limited frequency.
Hate them too!
I *LIKE* samples! Shorts have led me to some really great videos, *especially* from this creator...but then Aussies tend to support one another. Good onya Teaching Tech

Just throw away the 30 grams of filament. Still on point for 3D printing, solving a problem that doesn't really exist.
Tf lmao. 3D printing does solve problems that exist. There’s a whole generation of kids that have grown up around 3D printing, and it being something a dude can put together and run in his bedroom. Its introduced thousands of people, if not more than that, to manufacturing, CAD/CAM, engineering principles, troubleshooting, mechanics, electronics, design principles, trial and error, coding, etc etc, and all that’s not even including its industrial uses, like how it lets people prototype parts within a couple hours after they’ve come up with them, or how it lets companies replace more expensive solid metal or even sintered metal parts with 3D alternatives designed to handle the strain the part is expected to see. And all of that without requiring 3 phase power, a milling machine that weighs thousands of pounds and requires hundreds of dollars worth of tooling to make the same product that a 3D printer can make, a lathe, and someone trained in operating those machines.
3D printing is like the Lego I built as a kid. If I could imagine it, I could make it (assuming I had the right pieces). Now the same applies for 3D printing. I'm constantly designing parts to fix little issues in my life. It's not for everyone but I would be very frustrated without it.
