second extruder to m201

Post by syossi2 »

hi mark

I have the new m201 ver.b
can I add to it second extruder so one extruder will be with the mixer and second extruder will be just like second one
this way this printer will be very powerful and with lot more option

I see that the board have connectors to second extruder
and maybe I think also plenty space on the rods to add one more extruder

what do you say?

thanks

we have no such firmware for this, but we have another firmware for you to upgrade your M201 to a dual extruder printer, check out this link:

No, I think you still need to set the extruder number to 3 in the firmware or you can not use it.
