Man if they could figure out IDEX on that it would be a gold mine. The hot end not in use does the filament change while other print head in use. Would speed up multicolor significantly

That is a deceptively difficult concept to implement. G-code like we use is linear and not intended for parallel operations like that. Some folks are working on the concept…
