Currently in play. The knowledge gleaned from setting this AztecDragon by @fotismint print is invaluable to greatly shorten and flatten the learning curve for #Quad #MISO users. Pre-configured slicer profiles, tips, tricks and things to avoid for print planning and setup. #3DPrinting

Painting the (Aztec) Dragon...by @fotismint Now ready for printer. Six tool test for the #Quad! Blue swapped for Red after plinth, with a grey (B20/W80 mix) and white only on the teeth. Fingers crossed OR piece of cake? Will find out in 2 days or less!! That i'm actually able to contemplate this on any OS #3dprinter still buzzes me. #3DPrinting

Pro Tip for #Quad MFx4 users. Dont Panic. Heres what happens if you forget to drop your nozzle diameter back down from 3mm in your slicer to print the brilliant Aztec Dragon by @fotismint Does give it a bit of an ancient ruin look though!

Finally after an extensive and challenging path of development, I am most pleased to announce: The #Flex3Drive Quad MFx4 MISO 4into1 all metal hotend is now available on pre-order with a short lead time at flex3drive.com Easy cost effective Multi Colour printing for ANY open source 3d printer is here, even Deltas! Easy to fit and easy to use. Support includes PS Slicer profiles, Marlin firmware configs (Klipper coming), mounting parts, CAD support, and direct support in the Discord server. No filament cutting, no tip ramming, no pooping, minimal purge block or purge to infill. Mix and blend, or clean colour changes. Use nozzles upto 4mm diameter and layer heights upto 3mm for stunning decorative effects. Or wide nozzle with low height for engineering parts with form and great strength, on ANY printer. The All metal #MISO 4into1 hotend has an optimised internal geometry to melt polymer well before it reaches the nozzle, at rates not seen before and capable of hi temps to 500c. The Quad RDD extruder with MISO combined weighs around 200g. Introductory pricing together with a limited number of coupon codes for extra discount are listed on the shop page for early buyers.

Happy Dayz Happy Printing and Peace👍 #3dprinting

3mm noz, 2.5mm layer height, 3.2 width, approx 22mms (speed limited by 8 bit board), about 180mm^3/s flow rate, Old China PLA blue/white. That will do for now. #AMSnotAMS #QuadMFx #MISO

.

3hrs 32mins 40secs print time. 225mm print height. 425g of filament. 3 inches of silver filament left. A nail biting end and superb outcome. Obstacles are for going over around or through.

So in between the phat layers malarky, printed this last night as a benchmark/test case. Key to test was the eyes. Nailed it! Wolf by @printedobsessio from @thangs Painted&Sliced with @PrusaSlicer Old china filament (again) 0.5noz 0.3layer 12hr print time #AMSnotAMS #QuadMFx

Another method I use to validate flow rate is eat a plate of chicken and rice, then take another pic and tweet it to compare to the previous again, then take the square root of water volume that flowed in the earlier shower, and divide by the temp at which the chicken cooked 🤣

How I measure flow rate? I take a photo and tweet it then have a shower then come back and take another pic and tweet that just to validate it against the last pic that was tweeted. Seems to work 😂🤣

Real Time update. This is just freaking I.N.S.A.N.E

If this print finishes it will be so cool but filament may run out. Hopefully enough on the spools to complete 250mm tall. but this china silver PLA goes so nice with the @Filamentum dark red PLA its looking lush for sure 😍 fingers and toes crossed.

What this image and print represents cannot be said in a tweet. I am however very pleased with it. Not bad for very old (years old) un-dried no brand china filament and approx 2 (and a little bit) hours print time. Think I will print another, a little larger too. 👍
