StarShadow 0 Posted May 25, 2016 in Question about dual extrusion I was just wondering: If I were to buy some parts and add a second nozzle onto my printer. Would the software automatically be able to account for the second nozzle? I.E. I can load filament into the second nozzle or change the temperature of the second nozzle. Or is there a setting that I would have to change in the firmware and recompile it for it to use the second nozzle? Is that a possibility, or is there no way for me to use the second nozzle other than through gcode sent by the slicer? I'm just wondering because I want to add a second nozzle but I wasn't sure how/if I would be able to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DidierKlein 638 Posted May 25, 2016 in Question about dual extrusion You will need to have another firmware installed, i think that tinkergnome has a build for a dual UM2 (not sure). For the material you will need: 1 feeder with motor 1 temp sensor 1 heater 1 head (spring, teflon, steel coupler, heat chamber) But if you want my opinion just adding a second nozzle will probably be a lot of trouble for results that wont make you happy, but you can do it if you want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
