Almost done, will add two filament nozzles on either side with sections of bowden tube attached to them. the PVA spools currently are lasting 2 to 3 weeks on the machine. Wanted to make sure I don't have PVA/moisture problems. Can't justify $3800 x2 for material stations that control humidity. I just got the Silica gel in that changes color as it absorbs moisture. Printed with Tough PLA and laser cut the acrylic panels.

 

Will be doing a bit of printing with TPU and Carbon Fiber soon, so did this for that material also. with what I have read about moisture issues, kinda surprised others have not done this.
