3d Chameleon - up to 4 color/material printing with Single Extruder

I appreciate it :slight_smile: Having one in resin print would be awesome actually :slight_smile:

Quick question, i’m not too familiar with the Auto 3DClippy. Do you know the difference in reverse vs regular?
I’m looking at these source files for it - 3D design Generic Digital 3DClippy - Tinkercad
If you know it, if not I’ll figure it out from design files.

Seems like an easy job. I hope I didn’t jinx myself.

I’m not familiar with the reverse or regular but I have a feeling it won’t matter for direct drive hotend modules that are more or less smooth on the tops (SM, Bambu, K Creality K series).

I had mostly looked at versions edited to fit other direct drive printers and not the generic model. I think I was planning on modding someone’s microswiss ng version for my attempt.

I can’t make the model to transfer to fusion or download it in cad editable format from tinker cad. Waiting for Bill to share it.

Or maybe there is an alternative source of the original model?

Finally i am back at testing and it seems dual extruder and petg is not the best filament to start with colour change…

My 3dchameleon itself seems to be a bit rough because i have massive feeding issues to no extrusion at all at least on T2.
The other colours extrude but pull the extruder up so it prints in the air most of the time…

So i need more time to get it working, hopefully in the coming holidays :wink: .

Last but not least, i wanted to share my dual extruder head infeed with you, its a bit tricky to screw the connectors in but its pretty stable and needs NO supports:
3dChameleon_Feed_4in1_V5_1.stl (1.4 MB)

It could be that the angle is a bit too sharp and layer lines increasing chances of it filament being stuck here.

I was able to feel this by wiggling filament by hand and feeling if it catches on something there in single extruder adapter.
