How does this work? I know nothing about 3D printing in general, but is the ‘poop bucket’ used to transition between different colors of fillament? And how does it know when it’s at the proper color?
Correct. It doesn’t know it just poops out a certain amount that you can set and hope for the best :)
Chookity-pok!
Love the choice of model.
Got my P1S and AMS a week ago and it’s like being new to the hobby again. So little messing around to get printing, the options with different colours in my prints and the speed coming from an ender3…
Nice! I’m envious, if I knew about this before I started with 3D printing, I wouldn’t have bought Prusa MINI. Still thinking whether to try Palette, but that thing costs almost as much as the MINI.
I had a ender 3 and a cr6 before this,we all start somewhere!
I’d avoid palette
Why? Is it bad?
My next printer will be multifilament _
I’m already doing like four-colour prints with my 3v2 but obviously there are severe limits in placement.
you can actually see the poop bucket fill up halfway in
As cool as multicolor prints are, they are so dang wasteful.
You can set up the purge settings to be less wasteful. I also collect any waste and mold them in silicon forms
Meh the whole hobby is pretty wasteful. I can’t count the number of half finished prints that turned to spaghetti for the second half and wound up in the garbage. Hopefully one of these days someone figures out a good way to recycle PLA.
Or stash bricks of it in dead salt mines.
Seriously. All the carbon in it comes from plants which means it came from CO2 in the atmosphere. Stored this way, it’s a medium-term (as in hundreds of years) carbon store.
