Just mount the 2nd head before starting the print - I use default UM2 printer setting (not mark2) for slicing etc.

It doesn't need any code changes - just remember print area restrictions for using 2nd head when slicing on standard UM2 setting. 👍🏻

How do you specify what tool to use when you are using the UM2 printer setting? I only use it when i am printing with the first head.

Is there any way to change which order Cura generates G-code? Cura places the tool select before the startup sequence so if i want to print a model with only the second toolhead the T1 is before the startup sequence which is ends with a switch to T0. And therefore i need to manually edit the file to print only with the second head.

Hi,

one question for this modification...

Does anybody has a Mark2 with a Duet Wifi running? Is it possible to run the Mark2 with the Duet Wifi board?

I can't see why it would'nt work. You only have to program the tool change files yourself, but other than that there should not be any problem.

(which appears to have the hot end, temp sensor, heater, wiring, mini board, screws, stepper motor (not shown in photos, but listed) and magnets, + the 3D printed parts be all I need?

 

 

Yes that kit will work. I have bought and installed it.
