@VectorRoll @reprinted3D @Thangs3D #1 spot Done!

[Jason @Flex3Drive @Flex3Drive]

@reprinted3D @fotismint It was meant to be as it gave opportunity to tweak some settings that were slightly sub-optimal in the first attempt.

Painting the (Aztec) Dragon...by @fotismint
Now ready for printer. Six tool test for the #Quad! Blue swapped for Red after plinth, with a grey (B20/W80 mix) and white only on the teeth.
Fingers crossed OR piece of cake? Will find out in 2 days or less!!
That i'm actually able to contemplate this on any OS #3dprinter still buzzes me.

@reprinted3D @fotismint Thanks man, its coming along nicely now after a first attempt fail due to a tangle. #filamanagement is real!

[Jason @Flex3Drive @Flex3Drive]

Currently in play. The knowledge gleaned from setting this AztecDragon by @fotismint print is invaluable to greatly shorten and flatten the learning curve for #Quad #MISO users. Pre-configured slicer profiles, tips, tricks and things to avoid for print planning and setup.

@CNC_Kitchen They spelt Peaches wrong!

Email sent! As 1 man maker biz I would be more than happy to buy each model individually for "lite" promotional use (or a "maker biz" price at 2x) even as a member which gives free access to them. Would this be a solution for a maker biz tier to use your models and encouraging others to buy that might not otherwise?

[Jason @Flex3Drive @Flex3Drive]

@fotismint @Thangs3D I will email you later today on this 👍

[Jason @Flex3Drive @Flex3Drive]

@joeltelling @fotismint I completely agree, with questions. Good original work it should be paid. Corp' entity that takes w/out credit vs 1 person maker business that promotes more model sales? Conflict? Will send q's directly for want of doing right thing.

Pro Tip for #Quad MFx4 users.
Dont Panic. Heres what happens if you forget to drop your nozzle diameter back down from 3mm in your slicer to print the brilliant Aztec Dragon by @fotismint
Does give it a bit of an ancient ruin look though!

[Jason @Flex3Drive @Flex3Drive]

Finally after an extensive and challenging path of development, I am most pleased to announce:
The #Flex3Drive Quad MFx4 + MISO 4into1 all metal hotend is now available on pre-order with a short lead time at https://t.co/N95zL2k94E

Easy cost effective Multi Colour printing for ANY open source 3d printer is here, even Deltas! Easy to fit and easy to use.

Support includes PS Slicer profiles, Marlin firmware configs (Klipper coming), mounting parts, CAD support, and direct support in the Discord server.

No filament cutting, no tip ramming, no pooping, minimal purge block or purge to infill. Mix and blend, or clean colour changes. Use nozzles upto 4mm diameter and layer heights upto 3mm for stunning decorative effects. Or wide nozzle with low height for engineering parts with form and great strength, on ANY printer.

The All metal #MISO 4into1 hotend has an optimised internal geometry to melt polymer well before it reaches the nozzle, at rates not seen before and capable of hi temps to 500c. The Quad RDD extruder with MISO combined weighs around 200g.

Introductory pricing together with a limited number of coupon codes for extra discount are listed on the shop page for early buyers. Shipping early-mid March so not long to wait. Be quick and snap up a bargain price with the codes.

Whether in or not, I do hope we can all celebrate the achievement and what it brings, together.

Happy Dayz Happy Printing and Peace👍
