This is a Dual Extruder which can be used on 3D printers like Mendel, Prusa, Makerbot, and Printrboard and others. The two print heads are conjoined with a piece of high hardness aluminum bar with good heat dispersion and high reliability. The main benefits of this Dual Extruder includes being able to print more complex objects with support structures and more aesthetically pleasing objects that feature multiple colors or multiple materials. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Dear sir/madam, _br_I have recently bought a MK8 Dual Extruder for my Geeetech Prusa i3 pro b with a GT2560 rev A+ board, but I have some issues to setup with repetier host. It seems it doesn't recognize the second extruder. _br_As soon as I want to warm-up the 2nd extruder, it shows an error message "invalid extruder"._br_While searching with Google, it looks like it could be an firmware issue._br_Do you have some additional instructions please?_br_Thank you in advance, best regards.

Hello, will this work on a Monoprice 11614 printer? Thanks
In general, we don't recommend using our products across brands, which is prone to the odd bug.
I, too, would like to know this. The 11614 is a nice little bit and it's hard to find compatible parts.

I have a I3X , I wonder if this dual head will work for me, and if so is this the only upgrade i need to do ? will it work with my controller ? i think in my kit, the controller is "GT2560+ 4 A4988"... would love to any instructions and knowledge about this potential upgrade.
Hello Barry, yes this dual extruder can be used on I3X, and you don't have to change the control board. You can contact our sales to purchase the whole upgrading kit.
Will this work with the FF Creator/Wanhao Replicator 4x/CTC clone machines? They appear to be 24V boards.
24V voltage is OK, but you need to check if the installation holes on you printer allow you to install MK8 extruder or not.

Hello -- I have the i3 pro X with the mk8 extruder -- I want to replace it with these - however my printer can print down to .05 res and I was wondering if I change to these will it still be able to print at the same .05 resolution?

Hi. I have a i3 X and bought a kit to upgrade to dual extruder. I received the kit and this have the MK48, the aluminum bar and 3D printer parts to mount it, but the 3D printer parts (2) are for the Prusa i3 C, How a get the acrylic parts to mount the dual extruder en my i3 X? thanks
Hello,sorry for the late reply.Could you tell me your order number and where you bought the 3d printer? Then I can inform related colleague to help you solve it.
Hi. I bought a new MK8 Dual Extruder. Now it's configured for 1,75 mm. filament. What should I change to upgrade to 3,00 mm. filament? Thanks for attention.
Hello Luca, you can see on our website that every extruder of certain diameter has two types, which are corresponding with two kinds of filaments:1.75mm and 3mm. Now you are using the extruder for 1.75mm filament, and if you want to change to 3mm filament you have to change all the parts on the extruder except for motors. So you are advised to buy a new extruder for 3mm.
Hi. Thanks for the quickly answer. I have to change: - the barrel - the motor drive gear - the idler wheel - the nozzle I think that no other parts are needed to change to upgrade. Can you say me where can I buy these parts?
Our salesman will get in touch with you, thank you.
I'm having oozing problem from the inactive extruder. What should be the value of the "retraction length" and "extra length on restart"? What other setting should I change in Slic3r?
Hello Rio, please tell me which type of printer you are using so that I can provide you with correct parameter.
What changes if I select PLA vs ABS when ordering? Can't the same nozzle be used for both materials?
Can this be used to upgrade a MakerBot Replicator 2 to a dual-extruder configuration like the 2X? Does it need special adaptation to do so?
what is the distance between the two nozzles, can i buy this dual extruder and use it on my Geeetech i3 pro?
