  1. Tips for Buying A Dual Extruder 3D Printer A dual extruder 3D printer is a printer that has two extruders, just as the name suggests. The two extruders can print with either different materials or different colors at the same time. Thus, it quickly uses the two extruders simultaneously without removing the filaments when needed. We mainly have three types of dual extruder 3D printers; the single hot-end setup, dual hot- end extrusion, and Independent Dual Extruder system (IDEX). Buying the best dual extruder 3D printer can be complicated because of the various options from manufacturers available in the market. Below are some tips to guide you when buying. 1.The Dual Extruder Types If you are looking for a printer that offers maximum productivity, then IDEX is the best choice because it can print two prototypes simultaneously. On the contrary, if you don’t aim to produce many prototypes over a short period, then a dual hot-end mode is suitable for your conventional dual extrusion 3D printing. 2.The Printing Modes We have five printing modes incorporated in a dual extruder 3D printer. That is, mirror, multi- color, multi-material, duplication, and soluble supports. Single nozzle and the dual hot ends styles let you enjoy the three modes- multi-color, multi-material, and soluble parts. But if you want to enjoy all the modes, the IDEX style will be your best choice. 3.The Print Volume Going for a single extruder will be the best choice if you are looking for a more extensive print area. This is because the dual extruder design reduces the printing volume of any 3D printer due to the extra space the secondary extruder takes up. This results in a smaller printing volume on the Y-axis in dual extruder printers compared to a single extruder setup. So, if you are looking for a dual extruder 3D printer that has an extensive printing area, then you should carefully select those available in the market

  2. 4.The Printing Speeds It would be best if you looked for printers with the highest printing speed but maintained the balance between the lead times and the print quality. Having a dual extruder 3D printer does not affect the printing speed of a printer; instead, it prints two prints at the same speed that a single hot-end set up prints one. Thus, it easily triumphs over the faster printing speeds of any other 3D printer. If you are looking to buy a 3D printer, then buying a dual extruder printer has a lot of advantages.Thus, 3D printing is fascinating when one embraces a dual extruder printer.
