Dual Extruder Vulcanus V1.1

thingiverse

I crafted a Dual Extruder specifically designed for Vulcaman's outstanding Vulcanus V1.1 found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1130016. My inspiration came from DemmaC's ingenious design located at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1254578. The distance between the 10mm smoothrods is precisely 51mm. I'm relatively new to 3D printing, so if you have any suggestions or recommendations, please comment below so I can refine this design. As of March 22, 2017, I've added another extruder base as per a member's request. Make sure to use the correct inductive sensor and print the corresponding bottom.

I've been utilizing my dual extruders for a year now and have experienced no cooling issues. Use the 3mm setscrews to align the height of both extruders precisely.
