So far I’ve been getting the most use out of my Qidi X-Max 3, although it appears they’re no longer producing or supporting it. It predates the current multi-material schemes but it’s been able to print every funky high temperature engineering material I’ve tried to throw at it thus far. I’d really like to get some kind of tool changer machine to replace or supplement it at some point but it doesn’t seem like any of those are worth a damn for high temperature materials.
In the meantime I’ve just been using it to make stuff like this and driving myself bats with manual filament changes instead.
Have you been printing in POM? (Because I’d love to start actually prototyping some of my designs in the real, and that or nylon seem to be top candidates for actually strong parts.)

No, but I’ve done both polycarbonate and Nylon, or at least PA-6.
Ah nice, read up a bit about trying to extrude pom and it looks like it’s an injection moulding job only (if you want decent results)
