4 Colour Benchy on the Proforge 4 Tool Changer 3D Printer [RAW LOOK]
Pre-order here for a massive discount: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/proforge-3d-printer/proforge-4 The video shows the final 20 minutes of this 2 hour 10 minute print of a 4 colour 3D benchy. You will notice we are using a prime tower, we do this to improve quality and prevent blobs however our goal is to ultimately not need the prime tower. You will also see that when the tool heads are docked their nozzles are blocked by the silicone wipers which we have extended. You will also notice we are not using the ooze buckets at all. Despite this, some filament does still manage to ooze as the silicone material is soft and not able to block the flow. So we use a prime tower. The final version of the Proforge 4 will have spring steel sleds in place to block the flow of filament through the nozzle more completely - this will result in us no longer needing a prime tower as even they sometimes come unstuck from the bed and cause problems.
