YAMMU is an open, Voron-inspired multi-material unit for FFF printers. It combines eight filament paths, enclosed heated storage, BLDC-driven loading, filament sensing, custom electronics, and Klipper-based control in one machine.
Important
YAMMU is a work in progress. The current goal is reliable loading and unloading before or at the start of a print. Multi-color and multi-material printing are planned, but are not the present focus.
| Complete enclosure | Twin spool carrier | Heated chamber | Custom electronics bay |
|---|---|---|---|
- Store — eight spools live in two enclosed drawers built around 2020 extrusion.
- Dry — the sealed filament chamber is heated for dry storage while printing.
- Move — two BLDC-driven feeders load filament through short inlet paths and toward the extruder.
- Verify — switches at the splitter and toolhead let the control system confirm filament progress.
The repository contains the mechanical, electrical, firmware, and assembly material needed to follow the project—not just product renders.

The project especially needs help with prototype testing, CAD, electronics, firmware, and documentation. If you can test the current iteration or improve one part of the system, open an issue or pull request—or join the YAMMU Discord.
YAMMU builds on ideas and parts from the wider open-source 3D-printing community, including Voron Trident, ERCF v2, and several community designs documented in the repository history. Review source licenses before redistributing derived parts.
