Toolchangers are the way. Cant wait to see what prusa does with a gen 2 xl. It feels close. Im guessing a 360mm core 1 with 5 heads and no side chambers. Backwards compatible with gen 1. Im probably going to throw a 6 head ldo stealthchanger on my awd voron. Waiting for the indx to put on my ratrig
I found this video on instagram with some brief info and shots of the YMS system.
I think Nico summarized nicely the whole presentation

Whaaaaa ?!?
OK, so PTFE goes from glorified spoolholder (called YMS) to the toolhead, but you somehow need “hyperdrive” for more than 2 colors and 2 hyperdrivers for more than 5… wut?
Digging a tiiiiiny bit deeper into kickstarter - there’s “join the community” level which says “WANHAO”. WANHAO is known manufacturer of 3D printers with over 12years in business.
Yumi smart pad? It’s WANHAO smart pad.
The person listed on WANHAO kickstarter is nicolas michaut
The person listed on Yumi kickstarter is… Nicolas Michaut.
On youtube - WANHAOFRACE is the same person as Yumi…
Dunno why rebrand WANHAO to Yumi. A lot of people might remember WANAHO duplicators. Might be good brand recognition…

You’re correct. Yet, if I got it correct, you can get a full refund for the voucher anytime. So it’s a less risky commitment.

Seems like a good spot to put this.
Some of the printers he covers are pretty amazing. Some of the tech will eventually be in these cheaper printers.
