Have a question you need help with?

I used the pentagonal-filament to make the triangle filament but I had not posted that file yet so here it is!

I think you should be able to slice it and divide it up to dual color just the same as mine, being a pentagon I'm not sure where the half-way point actually is but I had been printing it 0.2mm and just eyeballed the halfway mark. The filament fits through PTFE tubing so it shouldn't have any trouble on anyone's printers. If comes out too thick or something let me know though and I'll upload a thinner version. If you're using version 5 or higher of Cura you should also be getting the same variable line width as with Arachne, I am downloading a new version of Cura now because I didn't realize they also had implemented it in...

That second one is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking.

I am thinking it would be cool if the guide block piece could be two halves and have those circular V shape you see in locking pivots like on some articulated arms and stuff. That way you could pull the guide block top half up and rotate the filament to have the right color facing the right way depending on the print orientation on the platter. When you lower the top half back down it would lock into those V's that stop it from rotating.
