The quest for dual extrusion
This page is to document the ongoing project of developing a dual extrusion system (software, firmware, g-code, electronics, extruders). The idea to pursue a dual extrusion system came about from [[this]] thingiverse entry by user ScribbleJ. The idea of a dual extruder system is to create parts using two different materials (differing colors, water soluble support material, etc.). The difficulty comes in the fact that no aspect of a reprap is designed for such a set up, and until recently, no dual extrusion system was commercially available. On this page I will update with the information required to complete a dual extrusion system (or however much I have figured out as the project progresses), as well as keep a blog of my progress. I will upload patches and firmware updates as they are created in hopes of collaboration on the project.
