Good luck. I came here searching for the same answer. I'm honestly not too impressed with Makergeeks Maker Series PLA. The Black HD Glass filament was a giant pain in the butt and was string city. I am testing a Makergeeks silver at 6.5mm at 45mm/s retraction, and it still hasn't improved much.

Hi @dancorrigan,
Have you see this mod? It is definitely an interesting approach and shows quite some potential
Pretty cool. I like the concept. I don't like the loss in Y printing space though. Any idea why Ultimaker chose not to include dual extrusion out-of-the-box for the UM2+ ?

Cool. I'm printing your FilCatch now. =)

So ehh... Any chance of printing to UM2+ over USB ?
Edit: While actually choosing UM2+ as the printer and not a custom FDM printer.

Like many of you, I'm waiting to see more of these upgrade kits out in the wild. I love the idea of dual extruding on my UM2+, but if it requires a priming/wipe tower to do every dual print, I can't say I'm happy with that. I've seen a CTC Bizer Dual Extruder machine at work, and there was no requirement for any kind of tower. Granted, that was on the dual extrusion hazard cone model, so perhaps it didn't require it.
Anyway, would love to see some more samples of this in action and even a detailed video walkthrough of installation.
I'll be patiently waiting.

I moved that part and then another part started doing the same thing.

A short desktop recording.

If you are printing over usb don't slice to a machine in "ultigcode" mode but instead you want normal reprap (not volumetric) gcodes. Basically "ultigcode" is another way of saying it leaves out the temperature commands from the gcodes.
Could you please detail how, in Cura 2.1.2 that you can accomplish this ? I too, often do quick test prints that last only a few minutes, and I don't want to swap the SD card for every print.

When i do a high quality Print these are my settings:
Bed temp: 45°C
Nozzle temp: 220°C at 1st layer after that 200°C
30mm outside layer 40mm inside layer 50mm infill speed
1.2mm Shell and 1mm top bottom thickness atleast
0.06 Layer height
Thanks, I saved this as a profile and will test it...
I did too. Will try.

Different colors from the same manufacturer most definitely often require different settings. I've found the more clear/glass filaments tend to require more retraction.
