Not long ago, multicolor 3D printing was something only the most dedicated tinkerers—or those deep in proprietary ecosystems—could access. But that’s all changing. In this video, we’re diving into the top 16+ open source multicolor and multimaterial 3D printing systems that are changing the game for makers and pros alike. Whether you're looking for a minimalist color swap setup like the box turtle AMS, a more complex system like the ERCF V2, or a high-end toolchanger like the stealthchanger to push the limits of FDM printing, there’s something here for every skill level, budget, and printer. We’ll cover what it takes to build each system, the costs involved, and their capabilities. 🤫 Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer  💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord 🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SECOND CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@thenextnextlayer 🎥  IN THIS VIDEO:  🎥 00:00 Introduction 01:54 Multicolor Systems 02:40 NightOwl 03:51 Pico MMU 04:57 MMX 06:07 Happy Turtle Lettuce Feeder 06:50 Tradrack 07:55 ERCF V2 09:11 Box Turtle 10:53 YAMMU 11:46 8-Track Raven 12:33 3DChameleon 13:09 Open AMS 14:01 BMCU AMS 16:15 Toolchanger Systems 16:35 StealthChanger 18:20 Daksh 19:09 Voron TRIDEX 21:28 Voron Phoenix: Monstrous IDEX Machine 22:12 Conclusion 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗 👉 Polymaker filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker 👉 NightOwl AMS System: https://github.com/mjonuschat/NightOwl | Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_op1oQK2 👉 Pico MMU: https://github.com/lhndo/LH-Stinger/wiki/Pico-MMU#bom 👉 CN3D MMX: https://www.printables.com/model/1181017-mmx-multi-material-extruder-exclusive-final-releas | Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_olePSvC 👉 3DPO (Rick Kollins) tutorials on CN3D MMX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNVSx8m-pTU&list=PL9lf9yvhkbe8wSKN8TnpF1ttkNGgj41Pg 👉 Happy Turtle Lettuce Feeder Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oFleFZs 👉 Tradrack: https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/TradRack | Kit: https://trianglelab.net/products/14-channels-mmu?VariantsId=11557 👉 ERCF V2 Kit: FYSETC: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_onPZv4u or https://jle.vi/fysetc | BigTreeTech (Recommended): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oE8r5qk or https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 👉 Box Turtle Kit: https://jle.vi/boxturtle OR https://jle.vi/west3d (use coupon code "LESLIEBENAVIDES") or International: https://jle.vi/3djake 👉 Armored Turtle 8-Track: https://github.com/ArmoredTurtle/8-Track-Raven-Alpha 👉 3DChameleon: https://github.com/3DChameleon/3DChameleonMk4 👉 Open AMS: https://github.com/OpenAMSOrg | Replacement Boards: https://si-forge.com/products/openams-mainboard-fps-bundle 👉 BMCU AMS: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_opB5rsI | Parts Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_onNqaws 👉 Voron Stealthchanger: https://github.com/DraftShift/StealthChanger | Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_okt5G2Q | FYSETC Kit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ool8XoM or https://jle.vi/fysetc 👉 Daksh 3D Printed Tool Changer: https://github.com/ankurv2k6/daksh-toolchanger-v2 👉 TRIDEX: https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex 👉 My previous video  on open source 3D printer projects: https://youtu.be/8dIqguLUyvk 👉 My previous video on the Box Turtle AMS: https://youtu.be/priaWY5iQJE 👉 My Box Turtle AMS Build Journal video (Second Channel): https://youtu.be/WKsYDgAgwHU 👉 My interview with the creator of the Daksh: https://youtube.com/live/SE31sKgPqzk 👉 My ERCF V2 Build: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNAIMkOXd_V-w8ZswanKWks2KKJz9DipJ 👉 My Sovol SV08 Toolchanger Build: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNAIMkOXd_V9jdPlKDvLn1b1i14LN-vcy 👉 Our New Channel: @thenextlayer 🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒 📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing 📍 Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation 📍My favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard 📍My recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 📍 My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam 📍 My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker 📍 Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ 📍 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
