IMO the Mosaic Palette 2 Pro is a giant leap forward from the Mosaic Palette. For me it has preformed without issue using PLA and PLA+. I'll soon try some ASA and see how that goes. In the video I state that the time to print the object being printed will take 13 hours. It actually took 9 despite the prediction from the slicer of 13. There is a cost for color printing this way: (1) more time, and (2) more filament. To print the same object in one color (ie, without the logo) takes 3 hours.

Having dark green and two lighter colors requires a very thorough purge of the hot end to avoid any color mixing. I found 130mm to work for these colors. I tried with less purge and got some mixing of colors.

That purge block is HUGE!
I know when I change filament colors, it takes a while to purge the old color
before the new color comes out.
Thank you for being a pioneer merging the palette 2 with the Raise printer.
I've been debating on whether to get one since last Christmas.

Thanks for the video, it's a great help for us newbies! How hard is it to purge the hot end to avoid color issues?

You don't purge the hot end yourself. The software does it. I have tried different lengths of filament to completely get the color out of the nozzle and a conservative amount is 130mm using a 0.6.. nozzle. It should be less if the nozzle is 0.4mm.
Also, switching between a dark color like the green to light colors such as yellow or light blue requires more purge than going from, say, black to dark blue. A little black in the blue or visa versa is going to be unnoticable.

Re: Realities of printing with the Mosaic Palette 2 Pro
an intelligent slicer would hide color changes inside the model like infill, then you wouldn't waste nearly as much filament.
Re: Realities of printing with the Mosaic Palette 2 Pro
Yes, and they made that change since then.

Hi John, have u heard anything about when a new model of the Palette will come out? thanks!
Re: Realities of printing with the Mosaic Palette 2 Pro
Nope. I don't have any special access to that sort of news.
