    That’s why i’ll never buy a printer with an mmu. Multi print heads is better anyways. (although those are like multi-thousand dollars usually and I just have an ender 3 lol)

    Idex is great too and can be super cheap (see: svo4) but no one cares about it for some reason even though you could do super cool things like multimaterial, printing support material vs infill with a wider nozzle, or printing two different parts at the same time.

      I got an ams and I don’t do typical multi material prints, I just use it for switching filament at layers for multicolor and for not having to manually switch filaments between prints. Takes a lot of the manual stuff out of the equation for me and I’m not generating extra waste with it!
