FlexyDually questions

General Hardware

Hi,

I’m about to buy a Taz 5 and was wondering if buying a FlexyDually Tool Head was a good idea or not. I will definitely print flexible objects, and will eventually need a dual extruder. But I have some questions:

  1. Is it that hard to install on the machine ? The LulzBot TAZ FlexyDually Tool Head page says that it’s for experts only, what is the challenge ?

  2. Can we print with say two PLA filaments with the FlexyDually, or is the second extruder reserved only for flexible materials ?

  3. With normal extruders (i.e: the one that comes with the taz for instance), can we use other flexible filaments from other websites (that are not the one mentioned on Lulz website, like Rubber Flex for instance) ? If not, then why, since other printers seem to have no issue with that ?

  4. What’s the difference between ninjaFlex and other flexible 3rd party filament that we find everywhere ?

  5. What happens if I put ninjaFlex into the extruder that comes with the Taz ?

Hope some will find time to answer my questions :slight_smile:
