Then google Mark2, upgrade hotends to UM2, buyin 2 of all, then you can enjoy a dual system, but ofc since the firmware works for um2 screens you will need a um2 screen for 40-80€. Also you will need to change many parts and learn a lot. Is a fun travel, there's no easy way. Have fun!
Why will it leak more than it already does?

6maker 10
Hello Migo,
I'm not a expert but i work on a new design in Dual Extrution the Dual Balance system.
At the present time this system work well on a ultimaker 2 and there is some advantage:
1 No need to had other eletronics
2 No need to had other Power supply
3 using the same firmware of the ultimaker original Dual
4 The nozzle who is not active have a special Z level (-1.5mm) in order to protect the already printing things.
You can find some test here :

Now i works to change the 12v fan with only 7 mm of thickness.
I don't know the ultimaker original but as mentioned neotko you need to change some things. May be you can find some examples to upgrade your ultimaker original in dual Extruder mode.

Do you have an image/sketch of how your nozzle switching works? All I see is (nice) successful prints, but I am more interested in seeing the mechanism.
