Tevo Tornado, CR-10, and clones: Dual Front Facing Extruders

thingiverse

This is a revised version of my previous design, optimized for dual-extrusion capabilities. The updated mount brings both extruders forward to the X-axis, placing them directly in front of the user, making them easily accessible even when the printer is enclosed. The mount attaches securely to the spacers holding the X-axis stop switch. To ensure a solid hold, four longer M3 screws are required instead of the short screws used for the cover. Testing with PLA and PETG filaments at 50% infill and three wall/top/bottom layers revealed excellent results from both materials. However, PETG exhibits slightly more flexibility, allowing it to absorb printer vibrations and reduce noise output. To achieve optimal performance, ensure that the large surface is properly aligned on the print bed during printing.
