Re: Dual Ready?

I just wanted to make a quick post in response to this question. I purchased a dual kit nearly a year ago. I had reservations about all the problems it would cause so I didn't install it until a few days ago. I am by no means an expert and couldn't have made the progress I have without the help of t...

Tool Change Scripts

I have made some progress dialing in my dual. The ooze thing is the killer. I have read that tool change scripts can be beneficial by reducing the temp of the extruder not currently in use.

Re: Upgrade

Next issue.... The display grid in Simplify3D is smaller than the build plate. I figured this is due to the the reduced travel distance of Tool 1. When I goto print something that goes to the edges of the grid to check level it ends up printing off of the table. I am using the default profile from S...

I printed the the calibration stl and noticed when x homed it was off the plate. I also notice both extruders were heating up. Ultimately it printed and measured out near perf...

Re: Dual Advice - Sample Prints

Thanks for the replies! It seems as though it is time to try it out. I will read the installation guide and get my head wrapped around it. How long did it take to swap out the parts and get the firmware updated?

Thanks

Dual Advice - Sample Prints

I purchased the dual upgrade months ago but have never installed it. The postings I have seen here and various places on the internet made me reluctant to try.
