The Mighty Quin. Decided to give my printer a name "The Mighty Quin". Yeh cheesy I know but it's big (so "Mighty") and has 5 of a lot of things (so "Quin"). Here is a little video showing the latest evolution of it [www.youtube.com]. The main changes are that it's now 5 colour (but interchangeable with my existing 3 colour hot ends), so has 5 E3D Titans instead of 3 and the extruder gantry is now a fully driven CoreXY in it's own right. So the extruders follow the hot end, rather than being passively dragged around by it. Everything moves, heats and homes but that's as far as I've got with it so far.

Looks great but you might want to rethink the name as it sounds an awful lot like the mighty quim ;)

Had to Google that - never heard of them - I'm an old guy who remembers the song "The Mighty Quinn" (Quinn the Eskimo) by Manfred Mann from 1968.

I'm not sure we are looking at the same Google results... Quim is an old English word meaning err....

That's pretty awesome!

Coming from you Mark, I'll take that as a compliment. Lets see how it prints though - that'll be the real test. Fingers crossed.........
