I finally got multi-color working on my Creality K1 Max using the 3D Chameleon.

Decided to make a 2 color benchy and scaled it down to 75% to save time, along with 0.25mm layer height.

So far the Chameleon has been pretty picky with filament, but when it works it works well! This print is with silk gold and matte black. I have even gotten 95A TPU to print with it surprisingly!

I modified the color-change code so it takes 1 minute less, which makes a big difference when you have hundreds of color changes.

Next up, 4 color benchy. Probably will be 10 hrs lol

    A1 is recalled isn’t it?

    I also need the large size, otherwise might have gotten a P1S

          Oh good to know. I do think as a toy printer for your kids, the A1 mini looks great. And assuming you have kids, then you don’t have time, making the premium price more attractive.

            Lol I know people love to hate on Bambu, but mine came out of the box working pretty much perfectly and has been an absolutely incredible printer. Quality far better than anything else I have seen without a lot of extra work on a printer.

              I was definitely suspicious, but now that they’re partnering to create community firmwares, it feels like all that suspicion is unwarranted. I think people just couldn’t believe a printer could work so well (and of course there’s the xenophobia).
