Awesome job ❤

I am very excited for this! Where is the sensor located? I can't see an obvious place for it.

[@HelgeKeck]

you can use any sensor like the official orbiter sensor for example. it doesnt matter

[@Bapate-rh9be]

Thats the ROME system integrated filament sensor, it is in the green Plastic part above the orbiter with the 2 Adapters.

did i see you will print 4 colors?

[@HelgeKeck]

i used these sensors just for development purposes bc i didnt had other ones at this time

[@grudniak3973]

@@HelgeKeck Combining IDEX with EnragedRabbitProject it could print so much colors in high speed. One extruder printng and second one changing filament to print next.
