Decided to do multicolor accents on a fosscad print and made a little cow from the purge material for my friend's kid

If you are using purge objects with you MMU you should start! Cuts the waste down to just mere grams.

This was made on a 3D chameleon hooked up to my K1 Max.

How do you like the chameleon? I'm thinking about adding it to my k1.

It's a bit of a project but I can share my code which will give you a huge head start. There are good amount of people using it on a K1 too

The code the creator gives you is not great. It forces you to use filament 1 first even if it's not present in that print. I fixed that and other things, made it swap colors 4x faster

If you have no plans of getting another printer and love your K1 I think it's a great idea to just put an mmu on it

Here is a g-code guide I just wrote: https://www.3dchameleon.com/forum/printer-specific-installation/my-k1-max-g-code-updated
