thingiverse

This installation guide is specifically designed for a Prusa i3 MK8 3D printer featuring dual extrusion capabilities. The instructions provided cater to users who are familiar with the Prusa i3 MK8's basic setup and mechanics. First, identify the area on your printer where you plan to install the dual extruder mount. Typically, this is located at the front of the machine, near the x-carriage. This area must be clear of any existing components or obstructions. Carefully remove any protective covering from the dual extruder mount and its accompanying hardware. Ensure that all screws and clips are accounted for before proceeding with installation. Mount the dual extruder assembly to the designated location on your printer, taking care not to over-tighten any bolts or screws during the process. Make sure that both extruders are securely fastened in place. Next, reconnect the power supply to your 3D printer and proceed with booting up the system. The Prusa i3 MK8's firmware should automatically recognize the new dual extruder configuration. After booting up, test the functionality of the dual extrusion system by performing a calibration procedure or running a diagnostic print. This ensures that both extruders are operating correctly and in sync. Once you've verified proper operation, proceed with calibrating your printer's hotend temperature settings for optimal performance. This may involve tweaking your printer's firmware to accommodate the new dual extruder configuration. By following these steps, you'll be able to successfully install a dual extrusion system on your Prusa i3 MK8 3D printer and take advantage of its expanded capabilities.
