so glad to see flexi dualy in the store now !

I’ve printed mine after seeing James Bruton’s videos, it’s almost finished, however, I’m looking for a proper file showing the pinout of the connectors and harness, that’s the last step I need to install it.

where can I find this ?  
thanks

Here’s the harness for a TAZ3: [http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/Guava/production\_parts/Electronics/External%20Harnesses/Pre-Guava/](http://devel.lulzbot.com/TAZ/Guava/production_parts/Electronics/External%20Harnesses/Pre-Guava/)

and the TAZ 4:

There’s an extremely tiny chance that I built my cable wrong, but everything else on it works fine so I doubt it. If your tech confirms that the firmware should work I’ll see what happens when I swap the cables around…

You’ll have a few options as to how to run them in configuration.adv, so you’ll be able to use them as heatsink fans, extrusion fans or a combination 🙂

Whatever happened with this? I still can’t turn on the extruder fan on the second extruder.

Heyo! Dual fan control firmware can be found here, along with instructions to make it work:

[https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/lulzbot-taz-dual-extruder-fan-mount/1027/1](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/lulzbot-taz-dual-extruder-fan-mount/1027/1)

Also, the TAZ 4 and 5 dual extruder firmwares found here currently have that fan control I believe:

See how that does for you!

I never did get around to flashing this hex but it does me no good. I need all the source files so I can tweak the config.h settings for other important control of my printer. Do you have a link to the Taz 5 dual extruder firmware source files? The hex file, while convenient doesn’t allow me to tweak PID values and also set my actual extruder offsets.
