Four hours? That seems awfully slow. You say you’re printing this for your store? I would think you’d want to get a Bambu A1.
no, this was a print for myself to test the Chameleon. I don’t sell any multicolor prints as of now.
I prefer non-proprietary parts and unlocked software you get with a rooted K1. I can edit my klipper configs directly.
This is not my multicolor-specific machine. It will be used mostly for single color regular prints
Ah I see! Did you see Bambu has an open source-ish option now with the community firmware?
Yeah that is pretty cool how Bambu is dealing with it too, but not the same as having full root access to the Linux computer that runs the printer.
I can SSH into my K1 and change things, install programs, etc. I even changed my Start_Print sequence to stop doing all the time-consuming calibration for every print. Sometimes I am just prototyping and dont want 10 min of calibration for a 3 minute print.
I hear you on that. I ended up getting a Qidi Max 3 for that reason.

Color changes are VERY slow.

1min30sec for every color change. Multiply that by hundreds of color changes and it adds up!
I am starting to see why people usually print whole plates full of multicolor prints. It’s the same amount of color changes, but more way more efficient.
