#MakiBox Update - Mythical Creature Plots Another (Unicorns and Rainbow Filament)

Time for another update to wrap up a good week here at the lab.

Nils teased recently with a 3D unicorn, and we couldn't resist getting back at him by drawing Nils the Unicorn, complete with rainbow filament speghetti at the mouth.

For this one, we will show the video first, since the rest of this will make more sense after you see it.

We used an updated pellet nozzle to create a 1mm filament using two pellets of different colors fed in in a row. The result is pretty good, the transition is pretty quick from one to the next, and there is some mixing, so potentially those that want to blend different pellets while printing to get different colors may have some interesting results.

A gallery of the results, with some closeups of the filament.

The finished product. 

This has been a good week, we've made a lot of progress on many fronts, and are looking forward to picking up and seeing some more next week.
