A project log for Multi-Material Hotend

Based on my experiences with the Multi-Material hotend for the Prusa, I'm trying to build something "better"

Three layers into a simple test print and this happened.

The neck of the mixer, which screws into the heated block, broke away. The material is just too fragile for the pressure exerted on it as the head moves. I'm going rebuild the failed parts and look at ways to better secure the block to the mixer.
