ScribbleJ’s Dual Extruder!
Dual Extruder / Dual Material Makerbot by ScribbleJ
ScribbleJ has done it again! Not wanting to waste his MK5 extruder he built a mount for it to sit next to his MK6 and wrote some custom code and put together another mind-bending Thingiverse entry. While he says it’s not ready for prime time yet, it’s a huge step forward to printing with dissolvable support material. Don’t forget to check out the video of the dual extruder in action:
