FEATURE
This project upgrades Ultimaker 2+ to a reliable dual extrusion printer.
The approach is based on the great effort everyone put into Mark2 for Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 3.
The print head holds two hot ends, which are originally to be installed on standard UM2 head for 1.75 filament. The right nozzle move up and down nozzle swapping.
This compact dual print head can achieve single extrusion print area of 220x223x205, and dual extrusion print area of 202x223x200.
