      It's been a long and bumpy road but I've finally developed my 6 input hot end to the point where I can now print and switch between, almost any filament type from Carbon fibre Nylon, to flexible filaments such as TPU, whilst retaining the ability to combine similar filament types for multi colour printing.

      Link to YouTube video here if anyone is interested - it'll take 23 minutes of your life to watch it fully. https://youtu.be/5VG_r_b00sY

          @T3P3Tony - It's fair to say that without Duet gcode meta commands and conditional statements, it wouldn't as well - if at all. Things like "if the filament is flexible, do this else do that", or "if the hot end needs to be cooled, and while the temperature is n degree above the set point, run the force cooling fan". etc...
