About this model
This is a model of a direct drive dual extruder with a single nozzle and a single stepper motor. A switching between extruders (filaments) is done by a servo mechanism. To drive this mechanism, I used a HS-225 mini servo that is as strong as bigger and heavier HS-422 servo. The model is designed for DyzEND-X hotend by Dyze Design. See video of the first print: Advantages: * No filament oozing from the second nozzle. * No nozzle misalignment. * When printing from one filament on almost empty spool, it is possible to schedule switch to the new spool in the middle of the print. Disadvantages: * Wasted filament by every filament change. * Can print only with temperature compatible filaments. * Needs some retraction calibration before the first use. I just rarely use the dual printing with this…
