Hyrel 3D E5 - Quad Extruder Printer

[Davo]

Not at those dimensions sadly :/ but I do like the idea of swapping different tools, the microscopes a bit of a gimmick, but I can see a small web camera for stop frame build recording handy.

"We can also make 2 identical parts up to 100mm x 200mm... using two materials (or two colors of the same material) on each."

That's where they would need to sell me, as my printer does this now and it was 1/3 the price. I assume the 4 x hot ends pump the cost of this one up considerably.

Geoff,

Actually, every printer already comes with a camera built in under the yoke. The microscope is for closer inspections.

I'd be interested to hear how you do four materials at the same time with just the two heads. Our 1.75mm filament heads are $250 each when purchased individually.

Sorry, I meant two at the same time, I wasn't suggesting I can get 2 nozzles to print 4 items simultaneously. The camera built in is a plus.

I would like to know how you guys avoid 4 nozzles dragging across eachother prints, even with 2 heads it can be a challenge. Let's say you wanted to print a very large object in one colour on your machine, would I need to remove the 3 other heads? or what is the variance on each nozzle height?
