Clone prusa i3 or Original Prusa i3…

…................P.s. -> hey Ian, would you mind if I essentially copied your machine?

No problem but I don't have a build log or complete bill of materials. The entire thing was designed using OpenScad. I'm happy to put all the OpenScad files into a folder on my Google drive and create a shareable link so that you can download them. Note that I'm not by any means a professional when it comes to OpenScad, so some of the files might not be pretty but they get the job done. I haven't got time to go through the machine and catalogue all the various bolt sizes and lengths, but you can work them out from the OpenScad files. Send me a PM and we'll take it from there.

Again, were getting away from the original post…
The diamond/gem/ruby tipped nozzle is NOT a solution for multi material (two or more filament) printing on the same object. What it's intended for is to handle any material without nozzle wear.
Has anyone first hand experience in using the Prusa Multi Material/multi filament solution?

No. We aren't talking about a tipped nozzle, we are talking about a hot end. This one http://reprap.org/wiki/Diamond_Hotend
3 inputs, one output. The main advantage over the Prusa set up is that all 3 filaments are loaded at the same time. So to switch between them, you don't have to retract one, then feed in another. Also you can mix them, so mixing Yellow and Red will give you Orange. If you take a look at my blog, you'll also see ways that you can print multi-colour parts without having to use wipe or prime towers. In a nutshell printing multi colour parts is faster and uses less filament than a switching method.

I'd be interested in those files also. Not sure I'm quite ready to build one but I'd love to look at how you did it.
