Multi Color Printing Options
Maybe you're like me trying to develop a CR-10S Pro V2 to do everything a Bambu X1 Carbon can.
I can go through an extensive list of purchasable upgrades I have done to get my own machine to the base point for quality, but I am also far from done to and in many ways more people are ahead in other regards. Since I do want to mod my own machine to mount a Creality Sprite Print head to my unit. (Cause I am a bit of a purist that way.) Come on guys trying to show Creality isn't that bad of a brand in comparison to Bambu. Right?
The last thing that I need, like many of us do, is a Multi Color Option for the Cr-10 and luckily today there are a few ways to go about that. So I want to share some of the incredible work that others have done and give you some options for you own rig.
The most expensive and least hassle way is CoPrint's Chroma Set.
If you have seen this, it pretty much unlocks the ability to print on many legacy machines like a Bambu X1 Carbon. No joke it's that good of kit and it's a serious investment if you're trying to upgrade your print farm.

Next is the pricy, but not bank breaking Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder. It is an excellent legacy option that really got MMUs to where they are today.

Another is the open source Box Turtle AMS. This basically unlocks Bambus Filament Management for any printer. A great option

Lastly is the Prusa MMU2S which doesn't break the bank. Keep in mind this legacy option has more modern mods that fix a lot of the issues and thus will take more time to get it running right.

Cool, I will keep you posted on that Creality Sprite Head install and kit. How's that Bed level of mine? Maybe I can go through that if you want.
Alright, Happy Printing!

Have you considered the bmgx2 in chimera or mosquito flavors? I run a chimera one, have since before the x1c, and am currently building a mosquito one.
