How I was able to realign and level my dual extruders after a repair.



Instructions
I needed to clean a clog and replace the insulation around the heater. I downloaded this part as to make my life easier... But after reading 'einer_designs' description on what was done, I thought of another way. The idea was to remove the heater off the threaded shaft then attach the extruders nozzle to it using another source. I found a nut that had the same thread as the shaft and nozzle - this held the two parts together as they would be when installed onto the heater. After that I threaded the two parts in to the aluminum holder and attached the printed part. Now I was free to turn both parts down until I felt them hit the printed stopper - when they were both touching the part I tightened the nut up to the aluminum base to hold them from moving - I then installed the top nut to sintch it all tight so they would not loose their place when installing the heaters - I then removed the alignment part and twisted on the heaters... I did not go to tight with the heaters but wanted to make sure they were in the alignment as when I took them off - once in place I installed the nozzles and made sure they were very snug as to not let any plastic leak out between the seem. That's it... It took a little messing with as I was trying to tighten the nozzles too much and it would break my alignment loose and I would loose my setup. I found if I just snugged then down it worked. After reinstalling all the parts, and installing them back onto the machine, I re-levelled the build pad and completed some dual colour and single colour prints, can't be happier!!! Seems as thou both nozzles are aligned perfect or dam close to it!
