Over the last few years, I’ve spent weeks of my life — and burned through kilos of filament — testing nearly every multi-color and multi-material system available for open-source 3D printers. I've done the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder (ERCF V2), The Box Turtle by Armored Turtle, and even build an open source tool changer. You can say I'm into this types of open source ams builds. So when BTT revealed their BigTreeTech ViViD MMU for Klipper, promising: ✅ Plug-and-play installation ✅ RFID filament recognition ✅ Expandable multi-material support ✅ Integrated filament drying system ✅ Compatibility with any Klipper 3D printer ✅ All for under $300 …yeah, my interest was definitely piqued. In this video, we’re doing a full first look, installation, and real-world testing (hopefully) of the BigTreeTech ViViD MMU on one of my open-source printers. We’ll walk through setup, integration with Klipper, initial calibration, and feature testing to see if this thing lives up to the excitement. If you’ve been looking for an affordable alternative to systems like the Bambu AMS, Prusa MMU, ERCF, box turtle ams, or other multi-filament solutions — this might be the one worth watching. By the end of this video, we’ll find out: Is it truly plug-and-play? What does it take to install? What pitfalls will you face? How's the build quality? And most importantly… is it worth your money? Let’s get after it. 🤫 Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer 💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord 🎥 IN THIS VIDEO: 🎥 00:00 Introduction 00:48 Upgrading the Toolhead on my Sovol SV08 Max 03:15 Installing the ViViD MMU 04:35 Upgrading the Firmware 07:59 Feature & Interface Walkthrough 10:47 Installation Update & Apologies 15:23 The Final Verdict 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗 👉 BigTreeTech ViViD: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 👉 Sovol SV08 Max: https://jle.vi/sv08m 👉 HeyGears Reflex 2: https://jle.vi/reflex2 👉 Octoeverywhere: https://jle.vi/octoeverywhere 👉 LDO Jabberwocky Toolhead and Extruder: https://jle.vi/kb3d 👉 My previous video where I shared 16+ open source MMU & toolchangers: https://youtu.be/rBXQqZq790M 👉 Toolhead assembly livestream with @nadir3D : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWHFeSoc96g 🗳 STL FILES OF FEATURED 3D PRINTING MODELS: 🗳 🗿 BTT 7" HDMI Display for SV08 Max by Nadir: https://www.printables.com/model/1385189-btt-7-hdmi-display-v12-for-sv08-max 🗿 SV08 Max / SV Zero Multicolor Toolhead Upgrade by CN3D: https://www.printables.com/model/1515435-sv08-max-sv-zero-multicolor-toolhead-upgrade-by-cn 🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒 📍Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing 📍Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation 📍My favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard 📍My recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 📍My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam 📍My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker 📍Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ 📍PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
