I understand that this is a Ultimaker site, but since the Tornado is almost an exact clone of the CR-10 I asked my question on this site. As supplied, the printer runs Cura v3.8.0 with Marlin v1.1 and Repetier Host v2.2.2. My explorations have led me to believe that the only change I would need to make is to change the Extruded setting in the Marlin firmware from 1 to 2, and it should accomplish my objective. I purchased a controller card and display so that I can experiment with firmware without messing up my printer and so far it seems to work, so I guess I answered my own question.

No one replied to my post, so I kind of abandoned this site as not active... sorry!

I am using a Tevo Tornado with the supplied Cura 4.8.0 profile for the printer. The profile works fine except that it is limited to only one extruder. Can I modify a file setting somewhere to allow for a second extruder? I am planning on using a mixing print head, so I will need only one nozzle and heat block. I know I can create a customized profile for the printer, but the standard one supplied by Ultimaker is working so well I would like to be able to simply add another extruder to the drop down box in the "machine settings"... as the profiles for other machines have. Thanks
