E3D V6 Prometheus 3 in 1 Filament Switcher

Prometheus 3 in 1 Filament Switcher for E3D V6 Mount, designed to replace the A10M mixing hotend, is a creation I'm proud of. This device uses three PC4-M10 fittings and screws directly into the top of the E3D V6 Hotend. To assemble it, insert a 35mm length of 4mm bowden teflon tube inside where it mounts onto the hotend. When printing with this switcher, use the finest layer height your printer supports and four walls for optimal results. A print temperature of 200C gave me the smoothest outcome at a print speed of 30mm/s. Please note that this device is intended solely for switching between filaments one at a time. It's not designed for mixing different materials. The V7 version features a higher resolution male thread, extended to make them longer and lockable with an M10 nut, as requested in the comments. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
