Sovol M1D hybrid IDEX 3D printer features 6 interchangeable toolheads for multi-color and multi-material prints (Crowdfunding)

Sovol has launched the M1D, an open-source IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) 3D printer with a fixed dual-extruder architecture and interchangeable toolheads that support up to seven independently heated toolheads (one fixed and six swappable). It comes in two variants: the open-frame M1D Essential and the M1D Advanced, which adds a full enclosure and a chamber heating module capable of reaching up to 60°C. The M1D uses a patented automatic tool changer for swapping print heads in as little as five seconds and supports Single, Multi-Head, Copy, and Mirror printing modes. It enables multi-material or/and multi-color prints, including adding water-soluble support to a print to remove the need to manually remove support (see video at the end of this post for demo). The printer targets makers, engineers, prototype development, and small-scale production by reducing purge waste while improving printing efficiency and material flexibility.
