/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1742765
I have a BCN3D Sigma, it's an IDEX. I got it used for $500 three years ago and it prints like a champ. It's like $2,700 new so not in your price range but I'll chime in anyway.

I messed around with PLA with PVA supports in the beginning (and also ABS with HIPS supports and d-limonene solvent), but it was always, always more trouble and (printing and post-processing) time than printing everything in ABS and just sanding or living with the minimal support scars. I don't even have the secondary print head hooked up any more, I never use it. And two-color, same-material prints are a meme.

The only reason I would ever conceivably use both nozzles at once as a hobbyist would be to print a rigid and a flexible plastic inside each other, but that would also require mods to the printhead since it's a long-ass Bowden tube machine.
