- Multi Material upgrade 2.0 is the second generation of our unique multi-material addon, which enables your 3D printer to print with up to 5 colors at the same time. Learn more about in our article: www.prusaprinters.org/multi-m...
Now compatible with the Original Prusa i3 MK2.5 and MK3 3D printers, MMU 2.0 went through a major revision, resulting in a simpler and more reliable design. The number of simultaneously supported filaments increased to the total of five, which enables the users to print even more complex and more colorful objects.
MMU 2.0 comes with a redesigned body and a new filament loading mechanism. Instead of the previous Bowden system, the new unit uses a direct-drive feed and a single PTFE tube to lead the selected filament to the extruder. The motorized selector head has a F.I.N.D.A filament sensor and a built-in blade, which prevents filament jamming.

You video production team is pretty damn spectacular. Some seriously enjoyable videos to watch.
could you please share the spectacular part?

That filament selection mechanism is amazing, I'm seriously impressed with it.
This is what happens when I sleep for 5yrs and come back to 3D printing only to see what's new.
I have an Anet A8, and now thinking I will switch to the original Prusa, just to make sure more money goes towards the giant R&D brains behind this sort of innovation.
Same.
My A8 crapped out on me after a few years, now I’m getting an mk3s
@@carlc7500 crapped out? what part of the machine
@videovulcan first the bed warped, then the stepper drivers stopped working

Sideswipe hehe.
dont need the cloud for palette either if you use their local software and your own slicer.
they both look great, though! I really want the STLs shown on the web article as samples
@@BenSilber two different bits of software vs one though, right?
@@KieranShort I guess, but I don't use slic3r anyway so it would be two for me either way
@@BenSilber ahhh good point. I prefer Slic3r prusa edition now rather than Simplify 3d. I've never used Cura though. What's your choice?The Prusa team is moving Slic3r very fast forward now though with many new features. And my i3 mk3 prints with it are now working better than Simplify. Anyway that's my experience.
@@KieranShort I use.simolify 3D. I'm just used to it and get good consistent results. I wish it would move a little quicker (like adding the cool infill that slic3r has, etc) but I've never had one issue with it and it's easy to adapt to the two printers I've got.
Thank you for not moving multi-material processing to the cloud like others have done. I'll be buying a MK3 and one of these as soon as I have the workshop space for it. :D
the cloud is just someone else's computer! no way I wanna give my stuff to someone else
I got some space left if you want to buy it right now :P

Sickburn bro
a printer beauty, the best I have seen in this species. I really need one.
As usual, sheer genius at work! I'm particularly impressed that you can use wipe into infill. Have you considered also adding the wipe into support? It's great that the slicer manages standard filament in support with soluble filament as the interface. Great money savings.
Not a genius just an engineer.
@@eddiemendoza6304 A genius engineer ;)
@@eddiemendoza6304 That's what engineers do. Finding optimal solutions to problems which may look like genius to some people.
@jbavarian that makes 2 of us
Why no body outside is talking about this! Everybody is excited about the other 3d printers while this man is doing more technology development. I always recemend this 3d printer brand, 'cause it's open source and has a technological investment. Continue with this amazing work!
It cost way to much for what you get. 3 times as much as say the Creality3d ender
Very nice work. The extra r&d time was well spent.
Wow, brilliant method! Well done Prusa team! :)
The auto trim feature is very neat. Nice touch.
This is absolutely brilliant!
you guys ROCK!!! i have been really to get my hands in one of your printers since a while back already
Amazing work guys!
That’s amazing I can’t wait to get it for my mk3
I ordered in December 2017! Looks like I will finally get this in mid September
Mine will be here on Thursday!!!! So excited!!!!
Anxiously awaiting shipment. This is *the* reason I ordered the prusa i3 mk3
Same! I sure hope it shows up soon.
Wow! I'm really looking forward to aid one of your printers and try the cool features.
Have a nice one until then!
Brilliantly designed!
Really like that concept. I think I got to get a prusa printer some time. Like you work keep it up 👍
Thank you for constantly thinking of ways to improve your designs! It is good to see someone be this passionate about their products. I'm hoping to convert to your systems sometime down the line as soon as I make room for more printers and have a new budget (^_^) Great work.
Really awesome, one of the reasons I chose to go with a prusa mk3
Prusa is leading the 3d printing revolution.
Using scraps is a very good feature. I didn't know about it, but it makes sense.
Once I can get of hospital, then I'll have to have a closer look at additional unit.
J'adore comme d'habitude j’espère pouvoir faire une vidéo sur votre matériel un jour, en plus la gestion des 5 filaments est bien trouvé bravo l’impression 3D fait des pas de géant avec vos innovations en un mot Merci
WOOOW - I like to test this! Grat Job! Best regards from Germany Nico from Nico's Projects
Woe, nice design 👍
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Finally, we can print with solvable support! I would be able to print my 6DoF robotic arm on my prusa printer! I need this!
Awesome and even an upgrade not a mk4. Love it!
This is awesome!
Truely amazing!
I need a Prusa and this like yesterday
Great now Im going to have to get this, this is wonderful!
This is well engineered.
good work :D i hope this autumn i buy one :D
Speechless. And extremely happy :).
Man other multi filament 3d printers need to follow this example
Going to do my upgrade next week,
very good job!
Definitely going to get this for my mk3 i am getting in a couple of weeks. Just need to save up some more money for the MMU.
Edit : I really like the auto change at end of filament feature.
Simply genial, as his inventor!
From success to success I wish you success
awesome addon!
Great Solution ! :)
I always wondered why not use waste block for infill instead & behold, finally done
Awesome upgrade
Beautiful!
To je skvele! I love the complete redesign between v1 and v2, allowing for upgrades/tweaking (v1.1/v2.1) as required. Will v3 build and offer colour blending? :D
Using the runout colours to print another object is also superb!
I think I have chosen my Christmas gift :D By the way, where can I find that cat in the box model shown at the end (in single color mode)?
Christmas+birthday present for me. :)
I know you're interested in the the single colour version, but for others who may be interested: Louise has done a rather fabulous multi-colour cat money box that's crying out for the MMU2: pinshape.com/items/43821-3d-printed-schrodinky-cat-in-a-box-multi-part-multi-extrusion
perfect once again my friend !!
see you soon at makerfaire!
Cool stuff, just cant wait to received mine asap as its been along wait for the perfect thing to arrive 😂😂
I ordered mine on March 3rd, how about you?
@@berbandis mine from last year 1st dec :) im ok to wait for better stuff but I hope not so long
Nice I'm very skeptical mainly about the cutting but very nice. I would have went with some kind of solenoid cutting though. Maybe a heated cutter to fuse to the next filament that way you don't have huge retractions and issues in the hot end.
Great idea
Now I have to learn to make my 3d CAD files in multi color format since I only print custom robot projects that have designed. That's going to be a problem. But love the system and the price !
Outstanding
Fantastic!!
I hope a 32-bit MK4 + MMU 2.0 combo is coming out any day now ;-)
nope
If you print multiple parts separately you could optimize the transitions so that you can wipe into infill more efficiently :)
So that you can have one part half finished with a large open area to fill into while the other part closes up and only has a small area.
If you went layer by layer as your would normally you would run into problems when both parts have a small area to print, this way you would only run into that problem on the last part you print.
Ok now that's impressive.
Wish I could put this on my I3 Mega!
I mean you probably can. It'll mechanically work just fine(i think at least). The only thing stopping you from just plugging it in and using it is the firmware. I don't know If marlin can be configured to use the mmu but if not, both the source code for Prusa printers and marlin are open source so there's nothing stopping you from porting it over to marlin yourself
great work
Awesome work guys!
I'm really impressed, can't wait to test it out.
I love the innovation that you bring to market Prusa. Are you providing any discounts for educational institutions ?
Further more , is it correct that i saw a video with you and Thomas Sanladerer where you mention that u are making it so Prusa Control can be used for other and or custom printers ?
The design and UI og Prusa Control is something that i love way more than Cura and even S3D.
Best Regards Morten
Somehow, i can foresee fillament grinding on thoose pushing wheels after a while when 3d printed parts wear off from constant fillament driving. Maybe yo could include brass inserts wherever is critical to keep fillament passing right where is designed to.
Nice, I like that system. Unfortunately a bit too expensive for me as a student :(
How does it work that both extruders push the filament the same distance? Or will the mmu disengange after loading, so that the filament can run freely through the mmu unit?
exactly my thoughts, would love to see it answered
I think the MMU filament motor is used only to insert the filament into the extruder, just like you would do it manually. Then it should be disengaged and it prints like normal until another filament change.
MMU disengages :) It pushes the filament to the extruder, then for a brief moment both drive systems are pushing the filament, the current to the MMU unit drive motor is decreased and finally the idler barrel rotates away and lets the extruder Bondtech gears pull the filament freely.
Prusa 3D by Josef Prusa damn that’s clever....
Well that's clever. Thank you :)
Super...thx.
Will you also make this available for the Mini+? This is awesome.
Hey Joseph, have you guys ever tested a filament wiping blade similar to the one seen in the Stratasys Fortus 400 and 900?
Awesome work guys or to put it in Prusa speak, standard practice.
I hate the idea of the “wipe tower” but of course understand why it’s needed.
Great idea using the infill to prime the new color. Cool to see new ideas like this to the Prusa’s. Still regretting not putting my money in a prusa instead of the JGAURORA A5 😓
I love my A5. The only issue I've had is the heavy glass causing noise at 30mm/s speeds. The IR sensor was an awesome addition. Being open source, I think it is only a matter of time before someone creates a custom firmware for the A5 to work with this extruder setup.
So want a new printer setup for farm equipment parts...Love to collab!
Could have have to of these work together to give more color choices? What 3d print can this be used on
This seems slower than the MMU1, although i do like the premise! I really hoped you had solved the issue with not being able to use TPU (flexible) filament with the MMU system(s)
The TPU problem should be gone with the direct drive system. We're currently polishing our presets for TPU :)
I need this 😍
can you localy increase infill density to avoid purge towers?
Is there a way to automatically adjust infill to put the waste plastic into? Let's say you want a minimum of 20%, is there a way to set it so it could potentially go up to 100%infill in layers where it would otherwise waste it into a tower?
npgoalkeeper _
Not necessarily, you could easily just make a completely solid layer in the middle of the print. Or any combination thereof, shouldn’t actually be that difficult to code.
I have a setup where I intend to keep my filament spool(s) in a cabinet above the printer enclosure. Will this work with the mmu? I notice the filament input is based on rolls sitting behind the printer.
is there a way to buy individual parts? or a kit of all the parts, except what is 3d printed?
that is slick
i love 4k video
Nice. Any studies on CMYB powder that could be mixed and something like traditionnal printing, in 3D, to have plenty of colors?
this is an AMAZING and GENIUS DESIGN! You guys have never failed to impress me at every corner. your customer support even a year and a half ago was top-notch! ( hell, i still keep in contact with someone up there! we became friends over my 5-month troubleshooting period! ill give you a hint....the name begins with "H" and ends in "A". WONDERFUL and talented individual who pioneered some Amazing functional prints using Magnets!.) all that to say, i sincerely thank you and the Prusa team for putting your heart and soul into your work. it truly shows.
Man! This MMU upgrade has so many blades... I'm sure it was a Ninja in its previous life! X)
I think Prusa should make this upgrade kit for other 3d printers. It seems relatively simple to add to a printer.
How does the MMU handle temperature differences between material types? One of the biggest issues I see with other single-extruder multi-material printers is that they have a hard time switching temperature between two different materials, especially when the temperature difference is significant (such as with ABS and PVA). Does the MMU have a way to purge filament of a different type before switching temperature to the other filament? If not I would think this would lead to a lot of jamming.
I would also like to know about this. Especially when printing delicate objects using water-soluble plastic as high-detail support material, or filaments of different materials for structural purposes.
Wanting to know the same
Not forgetting abrasives and alike that are more brittle. Typically needing a pre heater going into a plastic extrusion housing seems like a bad idea. My guess is they are pla specific.
@@glennedward2201 Though they specifically mention abs and flex in the video, not to mention soluble support is pva. So they clearly are intending for ot to be universal, but I would say not entirely. So in a sense I'd agree with you: pla with pla, but also abs, with abs haha
My personal experience is sticking with the same filament type if you want a good bond. I've tried printing PETG onto PLA and it literally just pealed off of the PLA. Don't even try the other way, the PLA will not adhere at all.
when it changes from one colour to another, does it use that integrated blade to cut the filament?
You made me subscribe and ring that bell with the "All" option. :-) Great creation!!
Briliant :-)
This machine is great… once I finally got it working!(that took a good 2 months)
The hardware configuration looks 10 Fold better than the original design that was planned with four inputs. Can't wait until my order ships!
To this day I can't get it to work.
@@davidthompson9359 I'm considering buying this, what were your problems?
Hi, I bought MK3 when it was sold with custom heatbreak, but I am assembling MMU V2 , is it recommended for MMU V2, change the custom heatbreak by standard heat break for better results ?
how does this work for changes in heat in the extruder needed for different types of filament? does it heat up and need time to cool for each one?
Yes
que locura!! lastima que en mi país cueste tanto llegar a esa tecnología!
good!
shouldnt the blade be shaped like a v with cutting edges on both sides? so it can cut in both directions?
Does this sliver have the capability to print two thinly separated walls as one?
can i suggest batched layer for wiping in to infill? maybe 2 or 3 layers
