I just bought an E3D V6 today, and while I was on the E3D web page I saw a couple of neat upgrades. One was the "Kraken" 4-nozzle setup, and the other was the "Cyclops", a single nozzle with two Bowden filament inputs. A bit beyond my means right now, but I am wondering: what electronics would I have to swap out for my Melzi in order to drive two or more extruders? RAMPS? Or something else? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,476733,476733#msg-476733 Sat, 18 Jul 2026 20:49:08 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,476733,477622#msg-477622 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,476733,477622#msg-477622 Rich K.

Now, I'm running a Panelolu2 on my Melzi. Could I possibly run a second extruder off one of the MOSFETs on the Melzi adapter for the Panelolu2? How would I have to adapt the firmware, if so? That would at least allow me to run a Cyclops without changing the electronics.]]> Rich K.
