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.

Apparently it has 14 motors in total.
Wonder what board/s it uses ?Last edited by curious aardvark; 11-14-2017 at 06:07 AM.
