Deal Details
I haven't seen this on sale much, but looks like $100 off for either the Palette 3 or Palette 3 Pro. The difference, the Palette 3 supports 4 colors, the Pro supports 8.

I have the Prusa MMU2S, but it really doesn't work well, so was considering upgrading to this.

To clarify, this is NOT a 3d printer. This is an addon to most 3d printers that allows you to print in up to 8 colors in the same print automatically. This is similar to the Prusa MMU2S, but instead of loading/unloading colors, the Palette splices together filament which eliminates some of the points of failure.

I hadn't seen this one before. It's pre-sale and $1500. If I hadn't already dropped so much money into the Prusa & Accessories I might consider. It looks pretty nice.

Does this mean you can use the $350 AMS with the Prusa MK3S+?

Sorry for a useless comment but I had ordered this before the price increase, ended up returning it (bought it from MachineShark) for a Bambu lab early bird for around $200 more and I get really good color prints with it.

No, most likely not, their firmware is proprietary and probably compatible only with their printers.

I should have posted about this earlier. I love my Prusa, but the MMU unit is spectacularly frustrating and sucks all of the fun of tinkering away from 3d printing. LOL Trying to enjoy printing again.

Oh boy, kinda has a similar experience with a Ender 3 V2 but i ended up printing as much as I have ever printed with the ender in a year in just a week with the x1 carbon, just cos it's so fun to print with (and super fast)

And there is the snapmaker J1 just comming out. It's an IDEX machine so you can print 2 colors/materials. Reviews are not out yet but looks very promising.

Looked at this product for a while. Word in the 3d Printer community is that this company is dead in the water. Purchase as a closeout, people aren't too confident the company will continue.

https://www.3dchameleon.com/ is a cheaper, newer, less complicated alternative and i've seen more videos with success from the upgrade.

Currently, they are priced at $499 (Palette 3) and $699 (Palette 3 Pro) with $100 off. I wonder if the OP meant the Pro was $599.
