Hmm. I have no idea about the mac version, but I'm on linux and was struggling with an issue with the configuration files as well. Cura creates a mirror structure of the resource directories inside the user's home directory. Those would be the ones any sensible user would think to edit. However, Cura also completely ignores the files there, and loads only the ones from the installation directory. So I had to play root to get mine to work. Don't know if there's something similar going on? You pointed me in the right direction, found a second resources tab under macosx, copied the bunch there, and now i see the mark 2 in the list of printers. Only, nothing changes.. Wile copying the files, i noticed there is no script section existing in the mac osx resources.

I think (but can be wrong), that the structure of the resources files for cura found on Github, is different from the mac osx Cura resources structure. I copied everything there, but can't find the mark 2 printer (it does work on my windows machine, but there is another problem, cura 2.5 crashes when i do file-access, is not related to this project, but limits me in the trial process)

At this moment i put 5mm between the plastic part and the hotend unit. Works. So 5mm would do it for me, then there is 3mm of difference (second is lower now) I use 123d design, which cant read the files. If you could do it... In the end, if everything works out, i will buy a second olsson and bondtech extruder. Do you know a solution for the Cura config files on Mac? Thanks

Hello, next question, The cura files on github, are they for windows only? i am a mac user.... Greetings, Rudy

Building the Mark 2!! Printed all the parts and put them togheter, connected everything and tested. Use the thinkerware firmware version, everything is ok, docking and changing works superb!! Only one issue at this moment, my second hotend is my old UM2 one, and when i put everything together, my Z is wrong. The second head is higher as the first, making it impossible to print. I already tried raising the first hotend as much as possible, and lowering the second as much as possible, but still a few mm's between them 2, in the wrong direction.... At this moment i "adjusted the height with putting some spacers between the printed part and the alluminium top plate of my second extruder.
-
It's simply a small PCB that adds additional fan drivers so the fans on the second head can be controlled individually. As the main board lacks any (unused) buffered outputs from the microcontroller, I put together a little board with the missing driver transistors. `Hello, how fast can i get such board? Are they available yet? at what cost? Many Thanks, RUdy Rudy.de.geus@me.com

Hotend CHECK Feeder CHECK Tubing CHECK Cabling CHECK Magnets CHECK >>>> Ready to go!!!!
-
I already would like to order the magnets, and possible be a donator ;-) Keep up the work guys, i follow your website, looking good!!!
-
Yes i will wait... and to keep cost low, will start with my old um2 extruder kit, which i have as a spare after upgrading the UM2 to UM2+ Nice!!
-
Really hope you can help us very soon with this upgrade, i am on the fence buying another printer, and that would ofcourse be dual extrusion!!
