How do you c...Hi Rich,<br />Absolutely outstanding work!<br />How do you change colours so smoothly? Do you lift the printhead to prevent blobbing on the work? Could you describe the colour change process? I've found it a challenge to remove and feed new filament on that style extruder, and would be slow to attempt it mid print.<br />Tks,Ivor O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246251303703200543noreply@blogger.com
