Co Print - Multicolor 3D Printing For Everyone (KickStarter)

Wow how did I miss this. Looks promising. That being said this will be great for peoole looking to upgrade an old machine.

Personally I already went with the AMS system from BL. I dont see a reason to buy this if you are buying a new machine as well.

When and where can you buy this 3D printer?

i mean im looking for a multicolor selution, and im exited to see more simple module ;)

Mmm…multicolor for action figures. Some another alike machine for multimaterial to make proper complicated functional parts. Not toys.

Sorry, if the 3d printing nerd is talking it up you know it is probably garbage.....

the multi colour module is sold out bruh

Love the idea. But feel as though they need to change the pricing. You can get a bambu labs printer and ams for the same price as just the color system for coprint. Sure you can control other printers from their pad but its not like it adds color to those other printers.

I think this project is really cool! I can’t wait to try this out!

I'm new to your videos, so I only just saw this one. Kinda glad I missed the kickstarter end date. I might have been sorely tempted to purchase this, and it's not really in my budget right now.

Wish you a lot of luck

now if this would be compatible with my sermoon v1 ide buy 3

It's like a souped up 3d Chameleon - I like the idea. I didn't like the cover, when he took it off it looked much better. Definitely would like to see a smaller cover but it's pretty cool looking otherwise.

No, it's not for everyone, it's for those who have Pounds 500.😐

I started looking at how to do multi-color on my klipper machine and came to this exact conclusion of feeding into a direct drive head with coordinated extruders like these that I had sitting around. So glad to see that these guys just saved me a ton of work, I'll definitely be supporting this!

We need to go on strike to stop the purge blocks, why not a model instead?🤷‍♂️

😏he read my mind, it's going on Elegoos orangestorm

no place to poop, get that man a bucket

Wow looks insane

This seems a pretty nice "competitor" to the 3D Chameleon 👌

Glad to see there is some competition to BambuLabs AMS. Still feel like a 5yr old Mosaic Pallette+ barebones, with no splicing/fusing upfront, but inside the extruder itself. They seemed to have avoided the need of a filament buffer(think BL has a patent on it), by keeping the path shorter. There could be a better way, to use a single motor to switch multiple filaments with some kind of solenoid activated clutch mechanism, instead of needing one stepper for each filament color. Would love to see multicolor AMS system(definitely not from BL, since AMS is a 💸🐄 when it comes to material sales), that eliminates purging altogether, or make it negligible enough to hide in the infill!. Theoretically possible, with an on demand zero thermal mass rapid heater(may be a tiny induction heater, coupled to a steel micro screw extruder (similar to those used in large IM machines), that heats as it melts and moves filament?) having a miniscule meltzone. Great work in bringing us up-todate, with the current trends in the 3d printing industry.❤👍👍

I was thinking of backing something like this but since its so new.. might be worth a wait.. if it really takes off you will see other manufactures and kickstarters move on this (unless they are already since bambu lab have made 2 of them now) but more stream line and competition is great in this space.

is it just an array of outdated bowden extruders with several Y-joints before heatsink? or is it MMU/ERCF but with sort retraction path like same old multi-extruder with Y-joint?

The Co Print device looks awesome.

im wait for the Ankermake v6

It’s kind of funny to me that Bambu AMS is so successful that it’s the only multimaterial solution people compare themselves to. Everyone seems to have forgotten about Mosaic Palette, Prusa MMU, etc.

I did like how much faster and less-wasteful the Palette was and how it supported things like gradient blending, but the high splice failure rate and being stuck with a cloud slicer made it frustrating overall.

I like this system. If it performs like expected, it would be a great alternative to the MMU, AMS, and Mosaic systems. The reduced waste aspect is why I appreciate the Mosaic changer design, but this seems like it would be much more reliable. Did he say what the color change time interval was? Maybe I missed that.

Omar sold it to me, seems very professional.

Might as well buy a Bamboo with AMS at the cost of this plus printer

Poop: "People Order Our Printers"

Ill rather upgrade my mmu2s to 12 colors with simple print and some small off shelf parts then this !

Meh, i don't see why I'd buy this over a Bambu. Unless they have a bigger bed, I'm not interested

Nathan where's my modder Board bro i've placed an order since the 9th of this Month
Sorry man i'm a bit impatient😭

its cool but I think its already made redundant by the A1 mini.

noooo! no poop chute! hahaha

Well i backed them, i used kcm set since they told me you connect it to sonic pad. I just hope thats true

Very interesting. I find the encouragement of creativity inherent in open-source a wonderful thing, and this is a great example.

This looks great... but way too expensive for me. While in Kickstarter, the price is ok, but their projected pricing is just crazy.
$650 for the set with a ChromaPad and $490 without... and you still have to supply your own printer, vs $460 for the Bambu Lab A1 mini with AMS.
Sure the A1 is only 180x180, but it is way cheaper entry into multi-colour printing.
I mean, I'd love to get this instead, and breathe some new life into my old BIQU B1, or even upgrade my K1 to multi-colour, but with the USD at 18.5 to my currency, this is a hard sell.
If the prices remain at the Kickstarter Level, then sure, but definitely not at full price.

I think bambu has a setting to allow the purge block to instead be a functional print where color wouldnt matter if you want to minimize waste as well

Cool setup but seems a bit expensive considering what Bambulabs put out and their pricing. Especially if the Kickstarter is 40% off the final price. I dont see these selling like hotcakes at that price... but cool product and i hope it succeeds.

The first printers I bought (instead of built) were dual head printers that could do two color printing. The novelty wore off for me and it was a hassle. I do functional prints so aesthetics and colors aren't that important to me but I would like to print two different materials such as PETG and TPU. I gotta say that this is one of the best implementations of multi-color printing that I've seen, and it's great that they offer it as an add-on to common printers.

Can we just take a minute to admire Nathan’s man purse?

Too pricey. Get P1S with AMS instead. The AMS alone is cheaper than this solution. Plus it will demoisturize your filament.

OMFG! My wife is gonna get divorce papers delivered to me next year with the products you're showing.

This is such a cool way to do multi-material! Thanks for sharing this find with us Nathan!

Very good idea! But it seems like the price point is far off. The early kickstarter price is very close to bambulab a1 mini price.
They will have to be competitive to survive

OK I NEED this for my Neptune 4 max!

Interesting. Would any slicer be compatible with this system?

I love that the term “poop” has become a standardized word with its own meaning in the 3D printing community to the point that brand reps, critics, reviewers, and journalists use it. ❤

Did you get a chance to ask the rep if this unit will work on a COREXY - like the Creality K1 or the FlashForge 5M?
