<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Anyone do a Dual E3Dv6 upgrade?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/10887/anyone-do-a-dual-e3dv6-upgrade/ Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:31:21 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Anyone do a Dual E3Dv6 upgrade?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/93911/#p93911 if you're going to use wardjr's chimera/cyclops mount you will need to swap to lawsy's carriages anyway because it's unlikely you can recover the X rods (they're glued in to the stock carriage... or should be). it's a serious improvement and worth the trouble.

From pictures of the SD4 and the WBA i am assuming other than the board and the extruder carriage itself that they are pretty much the same format. Meaning that the lawsy will work with the WBA without any additional mods.

Blah, blah, blah.
That's why I seriously recommend the legends package.


+1 on the Legends...and if you do choose to try the Chimera setup, then you won't have to bother with mapping the heaters and thermistor ports together in firmware...

I and several others have definitely found out this is an easy way to get a clog with burned ABS in the nozzle. With a dual extruding setup you will see clogs pretty often--unless you use an all-metal hotend of course. Wardjr has already made a mount for the chimera as well, which is compatible with Lawsy's carriages.

A quick search I found it and it does look like a better option with the same benefits and then some. Anything is better than the stock to be honest though.

I have an SD WB Apprentice. I am wondering if anyone has done a dual E3Dv6 upgrade?
