This product allows you to hack your 3d printer by splicing multiple strands of filament (up to 4) together. Take your 3d printing to the next level. This is the PRO version, which is metal (durable) and faster (to keep up with printer). It is brand new, never used. The product packaging has slight wear on it, has been opened, has a little water damage on bottom, but product is contained as new with all items and was never used, so item has been marked as "open box".Make sure your 3d printer uses the 1.75mm filament before purchasing this product. This product was originally purchased for $799 usd. This item is pretty rare now.Mosaic Palette 2 Pro Multi Material Filament System - 1.75mm
Mosaic Palette 2 Pro Multi Material Filament System - 1.75mm

The Palette 2 from those wizards at Mosaic intakes four strands of filament and combines them before feeding the color of your choice into your 3D printer. This means you can switch color at any point in your print for some beautiful, complex, surprising prints that will look like magic. And with the Ultimaker 1.75mm Adaptor from Mosaic, sold separately, you can even use the Palette 2 Pro on the Ultimaker!

The Palette 2 Pro lets you can use the Splice Core Pro. Machined from aluminum for optimal cooling and 20% faster splicing speeds, this is the big gun of multi-material printing.

Smart Palette

Imagine changing colors during the same layer, without any supervision. Imagine having a single extruder printer, but being able to print up to four different colors of filament. Seems insane, we know, but you can stop imagining--it's real!

The Palette 2 Pro has an elegant design that leads each of the four filaments you choose through a tidy path, into the newly designed and extra robust SpliceCore Pro, which creates the strongest and most reliable bonds possible between filaments. The G-Code generated by the Canvas (or Chroma if you prefer to use another slicer) software will talk to the Palette 2 Pro, making certain the correct color is used at each point of your print.

Four Part Harmony

With the freedom to switch colors as much as you like, the Mosaic Palette 2 opens up a whole new universe of infinite possibilities with your prints, and with the Palette 2 Pro, you can expand beyond a single material into strange combinations of PLA's, TPU's and beyond.

You could keep different features of a test part highlighted in different ways, you could print out topographic maps with accurate color, or you could finally turn your printer into the artistic instrument it's always dreamed of being. The Palette 2 Pro encourages experimentation and creativity, and your imagination is the limit!

The Run-Out Sensor: Detect and Correct

The Palette 2 Pro isn't just for multi-filament printing. When one spool runs out of filament, the Palette 2can automatically detect it and will splice to another spool, without a second thought. Away from the printer for one of those days-long prints? You never have to worry again.

  Simpler Setup

  One of the most common pieces of response we receive regarding Palette+ is that it requires a lot of setup and tuning to get great results. So, with Palette 2, we’ve completely removed the initial calibration process and we’ve implemented learning algorithms into its firmware to enable improved print accuracy over time.

  This simpler setup and ease of use also applies to the hardware and design of Palette 2. We’ve re-located the Scroll Wheel filament sensor and the buffer region to the inside of Palette 2, meaning you no longer need to place a sensor on the side of your printer. Overall, Palette 2 has a smaller footprint and its physical setup is significantly more flexible than that of its predecessor.

  For quick setup, you can use the included stand to place Palette 2 on a surface beside your printer. For something more compact, you can use the included mounting plate to mount Palette 2 directly onto your 3D printer.

  Palette 2 is powered by our new CANVAS platform, meaning your multi-material slicing experience is now a whole lot simpler.

  These changes to the physical form, setup process, and software workflow mean that you can now get even better results from Mosaic’s Palette line of products.

  More Reliable Printing

  Palette and Palette+ operate as accessories. This means there is no communication between them and the printer they operate alongside. While this works well and allows both products to be universally compatible, it can be challenging to tune and optimize settings to achieve a high level of reliability for long and challenging prints.

  In order to give you the best possible results, we’re introducing CANVAS Hub. CANVAS Hub ties Palette 2 to your 3D printer, allowing your machines to communicate with each other, and with our CANVAS multi-material software platform for printing via WiFi. This communication also means your Palette 2 stays in sync with your printer at all times.

  CANVAS Hub has been developed with accessibility in mind, and we highly recommend it to any Palette 2 user looking to have the most reliable printing experience.

  CANVAS Hub is available for pre-order alongside Palette 2.

  Better Performance

  Now that thousands of Palettes are in the wild, we’ve been able to take three years’ worth of user response and incorporate it into the designs of Palette 2 and Palette 2 Pro. With fundamental upgrades to many key areas of the system, the ease of use and reliability of the Palette 2 line make it a substantial improvement upon its predecessors.

  Our new modular Splice Core uses our patent-pending solid-state splicing technology, which can heat ten times faster and use up to 30 times less energy than the hot tool in Palette+. The solid-state splicer not only leads to improved splicing reliability, but also allows for different types of filament to be more reliably used together in a single print.

  Better Control & Simpler to Maintain

  User interface and user experience were at the core of the Palette line’s redesign, so we made a number of changes to give you a more delightful experience.

  We’ve included a new, colour touchscreen to allow users to interact with Palettes more easily. This screen gives you the ability to control all aspects of Palette 2 and monitor your print job as it progresses. You can even create gradient prints and activate several other print modes, right from the screen!Palette 2’s flat, top-down design and use of transparent materials mean that you can see and easily access filament during 95% of its journey through the system. This, combined with the tool-less design, result in a system that is incredibly intuitive to use and maintain.

  Runout Detection and Correction

  One of the most highly-requested features over the past few years is the ability for Palette to splice the end of one spool of filament to the beginning of a second spool.

  Palette and Palette+ never had the ability to sense when an input filament has run out, but Palette 2 can! Palette 2 features four filament sensors in its input drives; when these sensors detect a lack of filament, Palette 2 will automatically splice the end of one spool to the beginning of the next input.

  Now, you’ll be able to run those long prints with no worries and use all those spools you’ve been saving.

  More Accessible

  As we’ve evolved the Palette line of products, our design processes and manufacturing techniques have become more sophisticated. With these advances, we’ve been able to significantly improve the functionality, usability, and form factor of Palette 2—all while decreasing the price.

  This increased accessibility will play a big part in our company’s mission of establishing multi-material 3D printing as the industry standard.

  Palette 2 vs Palette 2 Pro

  Palette 2 Pro has been optimized for professionals who tend to print with larger, faster 3D printers.

  Palette 2 (left) and Palette 2 Pro (Right)

  Palette 2 Pro features the all-metal, modular Splice Core Pro. Machined out of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Splice Core Pro was designed for ultimate durability and performance. Premium internal components with precisely tuned thermal characteristics allow the Splice Core Pro to heat up and cool down up to 20% faster than the Palette 2 Splice Core. The Splice Core Pro is only compatible with the Palette 2 Pro.

  Generally, if your print bed is larger than 30cm (12”) in any dimension, plan to use Palette 2 for industrial purposes, or push very high printing speeds on your printer, we recommend that you upgrade to the Palette 2 Pro to prevent limiting your printing speeds.

  Palette 2 Pro comes with an extended warranty of 12 months or 50,000 splices (whichever comes first), and a generous array of extra components to ensure minimized downtime. Palette 2 Pro also comes with an extra large teflon guide tube for use with larger printers.
