Upgrade Hictop 3DP17 dual extrusion

thingiverse

Here is the upgrade of my Hictop 3D Printer 3DP17 - with dual extrusion capabilities, ensuring smooth and efficient printing operations. - Automatic electric shutdown at the end of each print job ensures safe and convenient operation. - The capacitif autolevelling Z probe provides accurate and precise leveling for optimal print quality. - A graphic screen displays vital information, making it easy to monitor and control the printer. I upgraded my Hictop 3D Printer 3DP17 with a range of exciting features: - Dual extrusion capabilities enable fast and efficient printing. - Automatic electric shutdown at the end of each print job saves time and reduces wear on components. - The capacitif autolevelling Z probe ensures accurate leveling for high-quality prints. Here are some key upgrades I made to my Hictop 3D Printer 3DP17: - Dual extrusion capabilities were added, with the second extruder motor mounted on the power supply unit and secured in place. - To minimize weight and maximize compactness, the second extruder was positioned behind the original print bed. Upgrading my Hictop 3D Printer 3DP17 involved several key changes: - The autolevelling Z probe was replaced with a capacitif autolevelling system to allow for the addition of a glass plate on the heated print bed. - Automatic electric shutdown at the end of each print job is achieved through a magnetic switch that opens a relay and disconnects power when the print is complete. I've also upgraded my Hictop 3D Printer 3DP17 with a graphic screen: - To display vital information, I simply crossed the wires from both extruders and it worked perfectly.
