The worlds first 6 input, single nozzle, multi material hot end?

Following on from my last video, I've just published another showing a functional waste paper bin being printed under 2 hours https://youtu.be/7tE-jNIZ7n0
That was still using up this 6 year old PET-G filament which has absorbed a fair amount of moisture, but it serves to show that 3D prints can grow faster than mushrooms .
The average volumetric flow rate was around 44 mm^3/sec. The next video will show the same thing printed in PLA - then you'll see really insane volumetric flow rates.

For anyone who might be interested, I've just uploaded part 4, in which I show the results of heating the "combining block" to a significantly lower temperature than the nozzle with a range of about 28 different filaments, from lowly PLA/PET-G/ABS to things like Carbon Fibre Nylon, PC-ABS, Graphene PLA, Composite HTPLA, PVA, Polypropylene and TPU. https://youtu.be/2q0LqLOAvRk
