EMU Expandable Multi-Material Unit – Complete 3D Printed Parts Kit
This listing includes a complete set of precision 3D printed plastic parts for building the EMU (Expandable Multi-Material Unit) designed by DW Tas.
The EMU is an open-source multi-material system for 3D printers designed to manage multiple filament lanes in a clean, modular, and expandable system. It supports organised filament storage, sealed boxes, humidity monitoring, and easy maintenance of individual lanes.
This product provides all required printed structural components so you can build the EMU system using the official project documentation.
Pricing & Quantity
The listed price is per Base / Box unit.
Each unit represents one complete EMU module. When multiple units are ordered, the correct combination of printed parts will be produced so they connect properly in a modular system.
- 1 Unit: Single EMU box/base module
- 2 Units: Includes the correct left and right end modules
- 3 Units: Includes left end, centre module, and right end
- 4+ Units: Includes left end, right end, and the required number of centre modules
All printed parts are prepared so the modules can be assembled together exactly as intended in the official EMU design.
What You Receive
- Complete set of EMU printed parts for the selected number of modules
- Printed to match the recommended orientations and strength requirements from the official EMU documentation
- Carefully inspected functional parts ready for assembly

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EMU (Expandable Multi-Material Unit)?
The EMU is an open-source modular multi-material system designed for 3D printers. It allows users to manage multiple filament spools in individual sealed boxes while supporting multi-material or multi-colour printing setups.
Does this kit include hardware or electronics?
No. This listing includes 3D printed parts only. All hardware, electronics, tubing, fasteners, and sensors must be sourced separately according to the official EMU documentation.
Can I expand the EMU system later?
Yes. The EMU is designed as a modular system. Additional modules can be added at any time by installing centre units between the left and right end modules.
Is this compatible with my 3D printer?
The EMU is an independent filament management and multi-material system designed to work with many modern 3D printer setups. Compatibility depends on your specific printer configuration and the hardware you choose to install.
Are these the official EMU files?
The printed components in this listing are manufactured from the official open-source EMU design files so builders can source high-quality printed parts without needing to print them themselves.
