Best method for dual filament
Best method for dual filament
I'm thinking of building a new printer and would love to be able to make 2 color prints or dissolvable supports. Does anyone have any experience with this. I see 3 paths.
-
Two hot ends Pros: Most robust No retraction or filament waste Cons: Alignment issues. Reduced travel Dragging nozzle
-
Dual filament hot end(taichi style) Pros: Easy to mount No offsets Cons: Jamming? Long retraction
-
Y splitter Pros: easy to mount No offset Compatible with any hot end Cons jamming Super long retraction

Have you looked into a filament changer like the enraged rabbit carrot feeder? https://github.com/EtteGit/EnragedRabbitProject
That's pretty cool and I like the name. Looks complicated, but something that could be added later.
