    never heard of this before - just had a look and as far as I can see, they never got the software working properly and the whole project died without a trace in 2014.

    It looks like it mixes 6 seperate filaments - so you might be able to use it as a single or dual colour printer. But anythig else will be a struggle.
    If the people who built it couldn't make it work - not sure if anyone else will.

    I'll have a look round for the software - but don't hold your breath.

    I the meantime have you tried something like slic3r or cura - just to see if it will actually talk to the printer over a usb cable ?

    Also contact the duet people: https://www.duet3d.com/
    They've built a 6 way mixer printer and had it running at the tct this year - good folks, might be able to help.

    But initially I'd concentrate on trying to get it to work as a standard dual print machine.

    This is the initial filament feed setup:




    Apparently it has 14 motors in total.
    Wonder what board/s it uses ?
