Hi nice design! I've been printing nice with an e3d v6 for long time now and would like to mount it on my self-made UM2 clone alongside a laser head. I've saw in the "A different multi-extrusion approach - UM tool / printhead changer" thread that you made an E3D mount but can´t find the stl file. Could you post it or provide a link, please?

The 2th extruder is plug and play when you install dual extrusion firmware. I'll advice you use the version created by @tinkergnome (google the ultimaker forum)

Also any changes in the board firmware or is the second extruder just plug and play?

Have you every tried printing with the entire unit upside down or on its side to fight ooze? I've seen some interesting scholarly journals about printing in different orientations and the effects on FDM printing. It seems like that could very well be a decent solution to prevent all of the ooze fighting steps I saw in the forum posts.

Yes, Ultimakers sells all parts, when there not in the webshop just ask support. They'll like it if you include all partnumbers. These you can find in the BOM or PDF's of all parts, on the Ultimaker2 github page. I indeed used the original power supply. For me this is a nice experiment, but be aware it's difficult to get stable and it will really increase your printtime. IMHO it's only usable for small stuff.

Did you just buy all of the replacement parts for a second extruder? Any changes to the power supply or can it handle both heaters?

Will do! Thanks for the update.

Ahhh.. honest mistake, just uploaded the STL & also added it in the step file. Please share your results in the UM forum if your building one.

Hey Arjan,great stuff, very impressed with your success! I was wondering if you could post the .stl file of your magnetic mount?
