RudydG 28 Posted September 11, 2017 in Ultimaker 2+ Dual My dear friend, do a search on the mark 2 project, it is just what you ask!!! 8 hours of printing, 1 small extra print incl. some cabling, and you are ready to go. Everything is done for you ;-) Happy dual printing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultiarjan 1,076 Posted September 12, 2017 in Ultimaker 2+ Dual short answer, just installing 2 blocks/nozzles in the UM2 head does not work. It's a waste of time to do it. Main issue, you need some kind of lifting system to avoid the unused nozzle to touch the print, or use 2 separate heads, like Mark2. Cooling is another issue.

diettelo 5 Posted September 12, 2017 in Ultimaker 2+ Dual Ahh ok now it make sense. So if i solve the lifting issue then cooling is not enough for two nozzles for the teflon? Ok i lay the dual Print to the Graveyard. I thought it was only a Power Problem and Firmware. I did not think about lift the unused Nozzle. Thank you very much now i know it. Its to bad that no official Ultimaker 2 Dual mod is from ultimaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dim3nsioneer 358 Posted September 12, 2017 in Ultimaker 2+ Dual (edited) Why so pessimistic? The Mark2 is a really nice add-on. You might want to give it a try. Edited September 12, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
