This project is inspired by the Filamentalis and the BoxTurtle, using four modified Filamentalists, each equipped with an independent extruder. The extruders are slightly inclined to optimize the filament path.
The extruder design allows for the use of either NEMA 17 or NEMA 14 motors. However, I have achieved better results with the NEMA 17, so the choice is yours.
The system includes a Y-splitter with a switch and a Binky encoder. Each lane has status LEDs to monitor each filament, and a filament eject button makes it easy to remove the material.
The logo features an LED strip that shows the MMU status (load, unload, and the color of the loaded filament). The entire design is 3D printed, eliminating the need for aluminum extrusions.
The configuration files in the base folder are provided as an example. Under no circumstance should you replace your own files with these, as they contain your printer's specific configurations
I have a Discord channel on HappyHare, feel free to ask your questions and give suggestions

Special thanks to SkiBike for the Filamentalist design and to ArmoredTurtle for the BoxTurtle design, both of which inspired this project. I also thank Diem who helped me with the publication here on GitHub
