That looks super cool. Do you have to have a special kind of setup to do multiple filaments in one print like this? I've just ordered a printer so I've got zero experience and didn't even know stuff like this was possible

This was printed on a printer with dual extruders. It's a few years old now, there are some much better ones out there now if you look for multi material or dual extruder printers.

Awesome, thanks! Definitely something I will look for in the future

It looks great! How long did it take to print?

[–] ilovecheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It took about 6 hours, but could have done with going a bit slower.

Flash Forge Creator Pro? More like Flash Frogge Creator Pro

[–] ilovecheese@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can't believe I didn't think of that after all the frogs it's printed!

Impressive! How much waste filament was there?

[–] ilovecheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not too much really, just the full height skirt and purged on the infill.

Waste Filament

Oh wow, that's way less than I expected! Nice.

That looks great. Makes you wonder what would it be like if you had an idex or an ams..

I've been eying up the independent hot end versions. The results look fantastic!
