Dual Extruder specs

Post by dsharp02 » Fri Jul 10, 2015 3:54 pm

I was just wondering if the specs on the M2 dual extruder and published anywhere. I'm interested in width, length, thickness. I don't have a dual extruder but I have an idea I'd like to explore and I need to know the physical footprint of the extruder. Also, what size are the motors?

Thanks,
Dave

The dual extruder uses two of the normal extruder motors, bolted to a milled aluminum holder, and new filament drives. The motors are offset slightly to pack them closer together, so you have two different filament drives. Most of the drive internals are the same, but there's now the shiny new V4 nozzles. The nozzles are 31.1mm apart.

You can take measurements off of mine if you want.
