Mosaic Manufacturing 3D prints a flashlight using just a single extruder

- knicholes 12y agoSo what is this? Is it splicing in different colors of filament before it runs to your extruder?
- Ccecil 12y agoyeah...it splices based on estimates on where what color fits into the print. I have done it manually before just by feeding a new color in at the desired time.
- Ccecil 12y agoThe steps/mm on the extrusion on that flashlight print are too high by at least 5% maybe more. It will be cool if it can be made to sync correctly...esteps are going to be an issue for sure as they already are though. I would like to test one out though before making a decision. I am assuming the "dual" prints are with a dual fixed nozzle extruder. The artifacts on the surface look to be from the unused nozzle dragging through while oozing. edit: my bad I thought this was the mixer not the splicer at first :) comment changed to reflect that
- doublerebel 12y agoVery impressive being able to switch between regular and conductive filament so seamlessly. Following the links, I think maybe even the bigger story is the Functionalize F-Electric Filament. It has only 30 hours to go on Kickstarter [1], but has raised only a portion of its goal, is it as revolutionary as advertised?
