Description

For those lucky enough to be testing their dualstruders (you know who you are), this might help?

I should, of course, mention thingiverse.com/thing:6632 by ScribbleJ, the first 2 color calibration cube on Thingiverse - as far as I can see.

Instructions

Print paired cubes:

cube1 a with cube1 b
cube2 a with cube2 b
cube3 a with cube3 b
cube4 a with cube4 b
cubes a with cubes b

It's the first I heard of this dualstruder.

Isn't BfB selling dual-head upgrade sets and fully assembled 3-headed printers for a while now?

Will the modified replicator-G generate working g-code for my RepMan too?

(I have the dual-head upgrade but I don't like Axon)

It is experimental and the software isn't quite there yet, but with a little tinkering it's pretty awesome!

Thanks for posting the video! I'm sure we all watch our bots and know their foibles, so it's good to see the process unfold in front of you :)

Can someone else who has this setup contact me and help me troubleshoot mine? I cant get rep g to see 2 extruders but when I go into the control panel it see's the heated build platform is attached to the other extruder but wont show a temp for it. Also my temp readout is wonky...

Sounds like you need to set the tool index on the second extruder controller to 1. I had trouble doing this and had to temporarily switch to version 2.8. Basically, you want just the second ec plugged into the cat5, then in repg goto set tool index to 1, then you can plug them both in and upgrade to version 3 and you should see both correctly.
