I’d rather taste the cake than have no cake at all.
I’m ready for them any time now…

Right - exactly. Put the artwork for both sides in the same file, as different colors. ignore the ‘back’ parts when you engrave/score/cut the top. flip them over, ignore the top parts, enable the back side art, and run the same job again.
And I know you from the Makergear Forum!
blush Yeah, I got around a bit. When did you join the Makergear forum? (Or what was your name there?)
Until the GlowPit™️…
It’s a trap!
August of last year I have an M3ID. My name is TerryL there, but I am mostly a lurker on that forum.
Oh, you joined after I’d left to come here. Nice to meet you…how do you like the M3ID?
Was thinking about getting back into it, just can’t justify a third 3D printer at the moment when the two I have still work perfectly. Independent duals sound mighty sweet though.
I like it. The independent dual is fun but it’s a lot of experimentation and now that Glowforge is occupying what mind I have left……
You should get a Prusa with the new 5 way feed
FDM is advancing so quickly that what ever you buy someone will surpass it in a few months!
Don’t want to completely hijack the thread, but the problem I’ve seen with multiple color printers is…there are very few designs for them. I can do multicolor printing with a single nozzle on a single color design, but you don’t see many dual color designs, and even fewer at higher than two colors.
I was thinking about trying my hand at designing for multicolor once, and then the GF came along. Maybe one day when I get bored with this. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon.
Creative opportunity.
I loved the way they’re handling getting rid of the remnant color from the nozzle between color switches with a sacrificial wiper design.
Prusa has been making statements that lead me to believe they’ll be making multi-color designing Much easier soon!
It is funny how different people see the same advance differently. People seeing multi nozzles as colors and all I see is a hard plastic and a softer plastic in the same design like printing integrated o rings and such.
That’s mainly what I wound up using the dual nozzles for…it’s great for printing dissolving support.
They look great. Can I ask which font you used on the pencils?
I just searched for “free font Star Wars” and grabbed the first one that came up
I need this please i do production constantly check put my machine I would love to test the beta!
