Haven't used my RRF printer in a few months due to it not printing as well as the Qidi. I saw this post and decided to dust off the Jubilee and load up 3.6 alpha and give it a go. I only have a few prints in but see a big improvement in print quality over the 3.5 version it replaced. So far not having an issues but have only used a single tool. Will try to do a multi color this weekend.

You consider the prices to be an issue?

The money I spend on hardware is dwarfed by the money I spend on filament.

Toolboards are primarily made for tool changer setups, so multiply your cost difference by the number of toolheads. I'm currently building a tool changer, and each toolhead is going to run me close to $400. At some point, cost becomes a favor. When my toolhead alone is over double the cost of an ender 3 you have to take a step back and reevaluate.

I run RRF-36's on my toolchanger and wish I set it up that way sooner.

Have (4) paired with a Duet 3 6hc running on a toolchanger. I’m a little worried about heat with the board being covered but a o far no real issues and on board temps stay under 60C. My cover is as follows…

@edsped I'll try lowering the L value to the default .25 and test again but it may take a couple of hours.

As an aside, I pulled the cover off after a 2 1/2 hour print last night and did the finger test for temps and nothing was above luke warm. I know it's not very scientific but it helped with some of my heat concerns.

Been printing on and off for several prints and knock on wood haven't had any tramming issues. Print quality is also very much improved over 3.52. Looking forward to further improvements.

A few prints in and it seems as if adding the M400 to cancel.g addressed the issue. I guess I haven't been cancelling prints on the alpha.. Otherwise all seems to be working as expected.
