Project: Black'n'Yellow

Dweezy

This is my tribute to this amazing piece of hardware AND software.

CR-10 clone, Dual X, Dual Z, Dual 3in1 Hotend, 400x400x400.

Why i build this? Because over one year ago, marlin, mk4duo und some others told me: That isnt possible. And maybe because i'm multicolor addicted

Ready for 1st test-print in dual-mode

Dual X calibration

It was a long journey until now. Now comes 'finishing up' the 2 carriage. And ofc cleaning up the "improper" screws (which are NOT black) AND parts (which are NOT yellow OR black) which step-in as this project evolved.

Parts used:


- sweat
- blood
- nerves
- alcohol

- some sort of Duet Wifi
- some sort of Duex 5
- some sort of Paneldue 7"
- some sort of 11 stepper motors
- some sort of 2x THC-01 Hotend
- some sort of CR-10 S4 carriage
- some sort of SSR
- some sort of Keenovo 400x400 230V 1000W
- some tons of "only black" screws
- some shit load of cables.
- some sort of ONLY black pulleys, timing pulleys, belts.....you see it on the pictures ;)
- 24V built.


@dc42: <3 <3 <3 for this amazing piece of software.

Thanks looks an great machine! Which 3-in-1 hot ends are you using?

I'm looking forward to seeing some amazing multicolour prints from it. And I hope you will show this machine to the naysayers too!

Its called "NF THC-01"

What do you have to do to prevent the two heads from colliding?
I assume one head has to be 'parked' at a time but how do you do that ? In the slicer ? In Duet?

Dweezy

the "magic" happens in Duet

So its more easier to use with a slicer.

The Hotends are "parked" when in standby / not used.

Its called "NF THC-01"

Why? [maybe it's supposed to be obvious, but if so, I don't get it.]
