Description: Multi Material 2S (MMU2S) kit - for i3 MK2.5S/MK3S Prusa printers - for self-assembly.
A setextendingthe capabilities of theOriginal Prusa i3 MK2.5S/MK3S3D printer. It is a moreadvancedversion of theMulti Material 2.0add-on. Application of this enhancement gives the possibility to print up tofivedifferentfilaments simultaneously. Thanks to this, printing of high quality,color 3D modelsbecomes extremely easy. Also the elements directly related to the process offeeding the filament to theextruderhave been upgradedand further refined.
Multi Material 2S extension kit for Original Prussian i3 MK2.5S/MK3S.
The manufacturer has introduced a number of innovative solutions in the presented add-on, which further increase thecomfort ofusingthe Prusa i3 printers. The most important modernizations implemented in Multi Material 2S concern the newly designedhousing of the device andthe filament charging system.
Update of Multi Material 2S for Prusa i3 printers. The subject of sale is the extension of Multi Material 2S.MK3S Prusa i3Sprintercan be purchased separately.
Newly designed body of the device
Pressure bearings mounted in a rotating drum and a single motor of the extruder, make up the body. This solution allows for the installation of up to five filaments simultaneously. The printing material is delivered and removed from the extruder automatically by means of the filament cutter head equipped with cutting blades.

Wide range of printing materials
In addition to the most common types of filamentssuch as ABS, PETGor PLA, MM2S is compatible with soluble support materials such as BVOH and PVA.

Innovative filament charging system
Replacing the Bowden system with a direct drive, supplying the selected filament via a single Teflon tube to the extruder, makes it easier to load the filament and prevents it from blocking. The F.I.N.D.A. filament sensor located in the selector head is also newly designed.

The pillar buffer
The buffer allows convenient management of the print material. It prevents the filament from tangling during installation or removal. It allows convenient placement of the spools, which is especially important when printing with several filaments simultaneously.

Cleaning function on the filling or model
Official software from Prusa, PrusaSlicersupports advanced cleaning functions of finished 3D models.
Multi Material 2S kit specification
- New body with simplified design, increasing print precision
- Up to five filaments can be used simultaneously
- Printing using a1.75 mmdiameter filament
- Movable tap selector head with blade for cutting the filament
- Use of filament sensor F.I.N.D.A.
- Voltage loss detection and printout resume function
- Two modes can be used:
- Multi - Material (multifilament printing)
- Standard for a single pillar
- Software-implemented model cleaning system
- Parts of the set are made in a characteristic orange colour
The MMU2S kit includes the MK3S/MK2.5S update, the MMU2S unit and the filament buffer. So it is not necessary to purchase the MK3S/MK2.5S update separately. |
Supported pillar types
- PLA
- ABS
- PETG
- Soluble materials for supports:
- BVOH
- PVA
Prussia i3 MK2.5S/MK3S with Multi Material 2S extension.
The kit is compatible with the following models of Prussia printers
- Original Prussian i3 MK3 and MK3S
- Original Prussian i3 MK2.5 and MK2.5S
Attention! The product is delivered as a self-assembly kit. The device should be assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions before connection. |
Make multi-colour models on a 3D printer
The standard accessory of advanced 3D printers sometimes includes a double printhead and a double extruder, allowing models with two filament colours to be produced simultaneously. The Czech manufacturer of printing devices Prusa went one step further and created a solution that allows the use of up to five different filaments simultaneously.
In this way, a set of Multi Material 2S (MMU2S) - for Prusa i3 MK2.5S/MK3S printers - was created for self-assembly. Interestingly, multi-color printing is carried out using still the same single printhead as the Original Prusa i3 MK2.5S/MK3S 3D printers.
Original Prusa i3 - an improvement that impresses
Multi Material 2S kit has a form of an overlay, mounted on the top frame of the device. It uses a single extruder motor as well as a drum with pressure bearings and a selector. Up to five filament bundles - including ABS, PETG or PLA, but also plastics for printing soluble supports - are loaded in parallel.
The Multi Material 2S kit uses direct drive, which has simplified its design and prevented problems during complex projects. When changing the color of the material during printing, the selector automatically cuts off one filament beam and replaces it with another. The F.I.N.D.A. filament sensor is responsible for the efficiency of the extension.
