There’s a teaser cameo of it on the 2020 quick recap post but I found a full image of it unexpectedly. I was just cruising imakr to see what parts they had available and found the image in the Snapmaker 2.0 page before getting to what they had available. [image]

Physically it wouldn’t be that hard to add a second screw drive behind the first and mount the motor on the opposite side. It would need to be a little deeper but not much. Obviously the heads couldn’t cross with this setup. Coordinating the software to deal with both would probably be the biggest …

Physically yes, but I wouldn’t do it with the current rails, instead wait until we at least know how well the new rails work, I could be wrong but in order to fall in line with Snapmaker’s intent and model of the 2.0 I think they would have to do that to all of them to keep in line with its modulari…

I really love the idea of the Two nozzle approach for some applications, for instance I can print a solid part with flexible parts in one print with out changing filaments. It is also very useful to print any support from a different material as they are easily removed. My favorite is the multiple …

Looking forward to seeing this come out. I can see the point that two independent extruders lets you print two things at once, but even being able to change materials within one print would be great!

I’m wanting it more for the soluble support. No more breaking off supports by hand

Any update to this. I’ve following it very closely and would love to know where we are with this. The last I heard was that they were expecting something at the end of 21… Well, it’s now 22 and I I’d like to know if they’ve dropped this or if they are still moving it forward. Thank you.

@Mr-T the dual extruder head is coming out early 2022 (first quarter) as per the livestream a few months ago, and it looks much different than the prototype

Awesome to hear. Do you happen to know if there is a link to a recorded version of the livestream?

i noticed PRs for the dual extruder have been merged in the last week or so… sounds like they are making progress… i wonder if they will include it with a kit to mount a second spool to the machine and or enclosure…

@scyto watch Snapmaker say we will have to buy new enclosures to make it hold 2 spools @Mr-T here is the link for the recorded live stream Snapmaker 5th Anniversary Virtual Party: Make It Happen - YouTube

I note they have added dual extruder support in latest Luban update Snapmaker Luban Downloads and Updates - Snapmaker Luban - Snapmaker: where creation happens so I guess the module may not be far off form release.
