Hi!
With a new TAZ 6, the stock extruder is a “LulzBot TAZ Single Extruder Tool Head v2.1”, as far as I can tell.
I am considering to get a FlexyDually and replace the Flexy part of it:
I would like to have a normal “LulzBot TAZ Dual Extruder Tool Head v2” (non-flexy for ABS + PVA support) and a Flexystruder. But I would not like the original tool head to lie around uselessly.
It seems not too difficult to swap the Flexy part of a FlexyDually with the stock V2.1 extruder body, so as to end up with a “Dual” and a “Flexystruder”. Ideally, I assume that I just change the upper part (including the extruder body + gears, but without the stepper motor) and I’m set.
I would just like to confirm to be 100% sure: Is the hot-end the same in the FlexyDually and the Tool Head v2.1?
Just need to use the dual extruder v2 firmware. But I’m not sure what dependencies the nozzle diameter has on the firmware… I don’t think there are any. Just make sure your slicer settings are correct.
Personally, I’d print a modified Wade’s extruder body that allows for printing flexible filament… and get the dual extruder. Keep the hardware from your single as spares.
I attached my version of the body (shared only on the forums), but piercet has a version which improves the stiffness for faster printing… its on thingiverse, but I can’t seem to find it. TAZ Extruder_semiflex_v2.stl (1.19 MB)
