Mosaic Manufacturing 3D prints a flashlight using just a single extruder

Very impressive being able to switch between regular and conductive filament so seamlessly. Following the links, I think maybe even the bigger story is the Functionalize F-Electric Filament. It has only 30 hours to go on Kickstarter [1], but has raised only a portion of its goal, is it as revolutionary as advertised?

The steps/mm on the extrusion on that flashlight print are too high by at least 5% maybe more.

It will be cool if it can be made to sync correctly...esteps are going to be an issue for sure as they already are though. I would like to test one out though before making a decision.

I am assuming the "dual" prints are with a dual fixed nozzle extruder. The artifacts on the surface look to be from the unused nozzle dragging through while oozing.

edit: my bad I thought this was the mixer not the splicer at first :) comment changed to reflect that

So what is this? Is it splicing in different colors of filament before it runs to your extruder?

yeah...it splices based on estimates on where what color fits into the print. I have done it manually before just by feeding a new color in at the desired time.
