APPENDIX C: Notes for Dual Extrusion Owners
This section outlines changes in the hardware, software, and operation of your F306 if it is outfitted with a second
print head. While dual extrusion does provide additional powerful capabilities, it is not as easy to use as single
head machines.
Hardware Changes
Dual head systems consist of a second extruder unit mounted beside the first, and a slightly different print head
design that carries 2 print heads and allows for the alignment of the heads. The additional extruder behaves
exactly the same as the first. The print head assembly consists of 2 E3D V6 print heads, 2 blowers, and the print
head bracket.
The primary extruder is called E0, and the secondary extruder is called E1. E0 is the left extruder and left print
head.
Figure 61: Dual Print Head
NOTE : The print heads have been precision-aligned at our factory. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you avoid
bumping, pushing, or otherwise causing the print heads to become misaligned. If the print heads come out of
alignment your dual-head prints will have an offset. Do not loosen or tighten the clamp bolts shown in the image
below, as doing say may cause the print heads to become misaligned.
