4hr 40m Benchy! (lemmy.world)

I finally got multi-color working on my Creality K1 Max using the 3D Chameleon.

Decided to make a 2 color benchy and scaled it down to 75% to save time, along with 0.25mm layer height.

So far the Chameleon has been pretty picky with filament, but when it works it works well! This print is with silk gold and matte black. I have even gotten 95A TPU to print with it surprisingly!

I modified the color-change code so it takes 1 minute less, which makes a big difference when you have hundreds of color changes.

Next up, 4 color benchy. Probably will be 10 hrs lol

That's great, thanks so much! Pretty much seals the deal for me.

Just don't pay MSRP! They often go on sale for $700. Got mine for $680 before tax!

If you do pull the trigger, here is my Creality slicer profile for quiet, yet fast, printing

Dude, you're awesome! Yeah I actually just saw that Microcenter has them for $699 rn, matches full retail for the Bambu P1S and $100 cheaper than the Prusa Mk4 self-assembled kit, which are the other two I've been looking at. Pretty sure my search is over.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. The size of the max has been useful already. did 298mm tall print that would be impossible on those printers. Literally printed myself some small trash cans lol
