<p>All of the models required to convert your Aquila or Ender 3 to dual extrusion are included here. &nbsp;The overall process is detailed in this video:&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/DSiVmar7FB4"></oembed></figure><p>At a high level:</p><ol><li>Disconnect and remove the old control board - there are not enough stepper drivers to support a 2nd extruder. &nbsp;I used an SKR 1.4 and the included enclosure is for that board but anything with 5 or more steppers would work.</li><li>Install new controller board and get it working with the existing extruder setup - if you install the enclosure on the left side of the printer you may need to re-route some of the stepper and end stop wires and extend the z end stop wires a bit.</li><li>You cannot use the Aquila LCD with most controller boards. &nbsp;If you wish to use an LCD an enclosure for the basic RepRap budget LCD is included.</li><li>Relocate the existing extruder to the top of the frame. &nbsp;Most bowden stepper mounts would work however if you don't have one, use the ‘Z Motor Mount Untabbed’ model from here: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/239989-two-motor-z-gantry-big-plans-printer-system/files.">https://www.printables.com/model/239989-two-motor-z-gantry-big-plans-printer-system/files. &nbsp;</a>You may need to unsheathe and re-route the stepper wiring. &nbsp;The included cable holder can be used to keep the wiring in the right place.</li><li>I'm using BMG clones for extrudes however other extruders should work fine. &nbsp;I mounted both of them as close to the center of the frame as possible.</li><li>A second spool holder will be required. &nbsp;A substantial spool holder model is included.</li><li>Remove the existing hot end assembly and use the included adapter to attach the E3D chimera or cyclops assembly to the Y carriage.</li><li>Route bowden tubes from each of the extruders to each of the nozzles</li><li>Use the included Fan Attachment Adapter, Blower Connector, and Blower Mount with a 50mm blower fan for part cooler.</li></ol><p>Now you're good, just set up your firmware and slicer for two extruders.</p>
