[Dual Nozzle Ultimaker 2]

Hi, guys!

I'd like to share my experience in double extrusion on Ultimaker 2. Maybe it will be useful.

Ok. Several month ago i bought Ulticreatr 2X. I knew it was not good (according to some replies here), but desire to upgrade my printer and to make double coloured print prevailed. After it was delivered, I decided to postpone installation. Designers of the Ulticreatr 2X said that its feature didn't allow to use heated bed. So, i decided to study this problem first.

I don't want to describe all my way to double extrusion. It was thorny. Besides heated bed issue, neither firmware nor Cura modifications, presented by Ulticreatr 2X designers worked.

So, I searched decisions in the community. And I have found it.

The first it was firmware. Tinkergnome, thank you very much for your work. It is extremely useful and works excellent!!!

The second was slicer. I tried to modify Cura 2.3.1 as it was described by Ulticreatr team, but it was all for nothing. Then I tried to modify it according to this topics, but still without success!

And then, thanks to Crema I tried Cura 15.04!

Today I printed my first double colloured model!

So, Ultimaker 2 + Ultikreatr 2X + Tinkergnome firmware + Cura 15.04 = Dual extrusion

Thanks everyone!

Hi, guys!

Sorry for my english, but i don't speak german at all:)

I'd like to share my experience in double extrusion on Ultimaker 2. Maybe it will be useful. Sorry if all i will tell you about was already discussed in previous topics! I tried to translate all the thread it google translate, but it was useless. Translated text seldom had meaning for me (ok, google:P!).

Hello, guys!

I have bought Ultikreatr dual extrusion kit about four month ago. Yesterday I finally ventured to install it on my Ultimaker 2.

It was hard, but solvable quest. Now it looks like 3d printer with double extrusion.

Today I tried to improve Cura as it described here http://ulti.creatr.it/en/support/2x/slicing.html.

I have done all steps, but it was all for nothing. Cura doesn't work.

Did anyone have positive experience in changing Cura 2.3.1 for Ultikreatr dual extrusion kit?

Hello, Shane!

Please, tell me did you have positive experience with creatr dual extrusion upgrade kit?

Do you have both extruders work?

Did you solve the problem with the heated bed?

I bought this kit myself, but i steel didn't decide to install it.
