I was wondering if anyone would know the benefits, if there are any, to having two heaters on a single hot end. Basically one on opposite sides of the nozzle. I was wondering how one would wire that? I do have a spot for a second hot end on my board, but how would I regulate that in software. Would this help the printer be able to move more material faster? I'm experimenting with lower resolution lines. Would more heat be good, especially if I'm using a .8 or even 1mm nozzle?
Two ceramic cartirdges, one extruder?
