Ironically, that “multicolor” print remains on the current Centauri Carbon landing page, with a credit to the designer Toymakr3d. I looked up the file, and it is a premium model containing 269 parts designed to be printed on a single color machine and assembled with glue. Toymakr3D posted a video showing the model printed on a pair of single color machines, the Flashforge Adventurer 5M and the Adventurer 5M Pro .
The timing of this announcement is interesting, as it comes days before Germany’s Formnext, the world’s largest additive manufacturing expo. This is where 3D printing manufacturers unveil new printers to the international press and potential costumers. This year we are anticipating a new tool changer mod from Prusa Research and Bondtech , plus the revolutionary nozzle swapping H2C from Bambu Lab.
