Gregory's Servercatherine: routinely gets a panic attack if someone mentions a 3d printer issue in the vicinity
catherine's headmate, who probably made a pact with the Mechanical Devil: converts her 3d printer to print with two materials instead of one, for like $30 worth of parts, in two days, having designed it from scratch. what the hell

check out this lighthouse she made!!! (for some reason PrusaSlicer divides by zero if she tries to make a normal multi-material object, and a lighthouse was the obvious candidate for manually inserting material switches between layers) |
this system uses two extruders: one direct drive (stock) and one bowden (bolted to the side). this is apparently important for something
doesn't blob on tool change, doesn't jam too often, uses a complicated system of gcode macros to track the state of material multiplexing unit so that the slicer can issue a single command and have it ready (other than purging), requires only a few screws and a pneumatic fitting to assemble
