Filament tips all look like this now. Not a perfect shape, but no stringing. Which was my only real problem requiring MMU interventions.
Need to run some longer MMU prints to see if it is consistent across 1000s of filament swaps.
Looking good so far though.

Having some success enabling stamping for my @Prusa3D MK3S & MMU2S. Took the settings from a MK4 profile & tweaked a bit
Seems to have solved my stringy filament tip problem & reduced the amount of purge needed a lot

Right: Stamping enabled

Both prints ran the same test. Print to the red square, then switch to white. 20mm of purge on the tower then start the white part.
With stamping enabled, most of the red is removed from the nozzle so nothing is extruded until a small way in to the white part.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

Thanks to a house move, my printers have been in storage for the last few months. Finally got to dust off my MK3 and after a couple of practical prints I’m able to start printing non-practical fun MMU prints!
Still no room for the XL yet, but feels good to be printing stuff again

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@Rum_Race @gonecozycrafts @3DFilaPrint Yeah, cutting ties with the EU has made things harder.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

😢 @3DFilaPrint

This is a big loss for hobby 3d printing in the UK. For me, they made it easy to pick up 1 or 2 spools at a time without paying crazy amounts on postage. Not sure that’s going to be possible any more.

Wish everyone there the best for whatever the future brings

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@gonecozycrafts @Rum_Race @3DFilaPrint Yeah, though I normally only order a couple of spools so it’s under the £135 limit for custom duties.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@gonecozycrafts @Rum_Race @3DFilaPrint Yeah.. 3djake are great, but they are based in the EU so shipping to the UK is a pain.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@Rum_Race @gonecozycrafts @3DFilaPrint I’ve used Amazon before, mainly for esun filament. Good price and usually next day delivery. Not so good for brands like Fillamentum & ProtoPasta. Though it does look like there is a lot of PolyMaker.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@Rum_Race @3DFilaPrint They had a great range of brands & free next day delivery if you bought 2 spools. Which was perfect for me as a hobbyist.
My best option now is free delivery if I spent over £60 & I have to wait 8-10 days. Or go direct to one of the UK companies if they have the colour I need

After printing @hueforge models by @cyanidesugar_ last week, I had to buy a copy & try HueForge myself

Loved the LoL models, but there wasn’t one for Caitlyn, so I gave it a try

Happy with this for a 1st go, given I eyeballed the colours and guessed the TD’s. Lots more to learn

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@DutchGlaswegian Thank you 😁

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@cyanidesugar_ Thanks!! I love this model, the picture is so cool.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

@hueforge Thank you!! Cyanidesugar has so many awesome HueForge models. Looking forward to printing more of them.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

Next up on my week of @hueforge..

I was a big fan of the Arcane series (though never played LoL), so these models of Vi & Jinx by @cyanidesugar_ were a must print.

Love the shading effects that these models have, especially on Jinx.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

The dark blue shifts to purple depending on the angle.

Filaments used were:
@Prusament Galaxy black
@Fillamentum Wizards voodoo & white
@Proto_pasta Mermaids teal, Candy apple red & Electric lemonade

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

It’s been a bit of a @hueforge week on my printer this week. First up was this awesome model.

“Out of this world” by @cyanidesugar_

available on @Thangs3D

Experimented to see how Hueforge looked with sparkly filaments. Really happy with how it came out.

[Barry Webb @barrywebb1]

Ooh, this could be very cool if the stamping is available on the MK3S!

[Prusa3D @Prusa3D]

PrusaSlicer 2.7.3 - Alpha 1 is out!🆕 Featuring several improvements to multi-material printing, vase mode smoothing, support for 3MF files generated in BambuStudio, metadata with boundary polygon of each object, and more! @PrusaSlicer ⤵

This Panda @hueforge model by @cyanidesugar_ came out great!
Printed it for my daughter as she loves pandas. 🐼

Model available from @Thangs3D: https://t.co/ozcQfk8fyg

Think I’m going to have to give Hueforge a go. I’ve got a few ideas I’d like to try.
