Is anybody interested in my install of the Prometheus Dual Extrusion system on the BigBox? I should be receiving my kit this week, and I've started to modify the x carriage. I know IDEX is the hot mod right now, but I watched Tom's review back in December and decided to go for it. Here's all the info: https://www.distechautomation.com/products/prometheus-system https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/811909269/the-prometheus-system-intuitive-multi-filament-3d/
Always interested to see what people are doing. I'm planning to go for IDEX on my bigbox as soon as I find some time (I'll go with Björn’s version), but I've been looking at the 4 way system on the new Prusa as a possible for my Prusa i3 - that's pretty similar to the Prometheus in many ways - same basic concept, though obviously different execution. Either way, I think it would be interesting to see how it works out
PFFFT dual extrusion, diamond triple extrusion and mixing ftw!! would love to see though, interesting to see how you have the motors and such mounted
I'm interested. My Prometheus just arrived, and I'm debating over installing it on the BigBox or my older delta.
Getting close! I kept the Titan extruders for now and have my own modified x carriage printed and installed. Should be able to get a dual extrusion test print done today... assuming I can get Simplify3d programmed correctly. Here's a few pics of the setup: https://goo.gl/photos/TtZxZDTbUy6nqeB67 (Don't hate on my harnessing and especially my adjustable layer fan support )
looks interesting... does it work? I did not install my kit yet... any change you share your design files? Source would be awesome
I did get it to work, but the last print I attempted resets my printer during the first or second filament switch... No idea why. I'm running a newish RCBugfix, though, so I'm hoping it's just a firmware bug. I was out of town last week and didn't get a chance to dig into it yet. I'll share my design files and slicer scripts this week.
