Hi all,
I've just been introduced to the world of 3D printers so mind me if I ask silly stuff.
I am currently in the process of assembling a 3D printer myself and have stumbled upon this question.
With referrence to this item of thingiverse, [www.thingiverse.com] (V2 or V5), you will notice that there is a Z offset between the two extruders.
May I know what's the reason behind this offset and why it is designed in such a way?
Thanks!

Hi All,
Thank you for replying to me so promptly!
So if I were to be using the same two extruders, I should be using V4(in the thingiverse post) where there is no offset right?
Is there any other reason besides this for having an offset?
Thanks!
