- In this video I show my submission to the Creality Modification Masters contest. The mod is an experimental dual extrusion system with independent hotends which doesn't require a servo motor. This is something I wanted for quite some time now and I think that this is a nice thing to submit. This was quite the journey and I thought of giving up several times, but in the end it turned out better than I could have imagined! I hope you like this idea and this video, have fun watching and have an awesome day!

Hi guys! Last couple of weeks I’ve been working on this submission for the Modification Masters contest by Creality. Therefore, you haven’t heard much of me lately. At first, I wanted to submit a design I already made, but I thought it would be cooler to submit something that hasn’t been done before. Well, here it is and it works better than expected! Have a great day!
personally i would have gone with the foldable ender 3. there are ready a number of dual hot end printers, but as far as i know there not any foldable working printers. But hey great design though, curious though how long it took you start to finish for the concept.
I think you did a wonderful job! The system is easy and charmed to realise. I like the way you did it! Very nice!
hasnt been done before isnt true, saw one of these back in 2016 except they had metal spring steel to cap the nozzel not in use to prevent ooze
This is really cool. My question is if you don't have the means to add your own driver chip to a board what would be a good board to use?
I would be happy if he would do this also for anycubic chiron
Great mechanism! Love it!
Hey, that's awesome to see you commenting on this!
Thank you for making great 3D Printing Content!
Thanks Stefan!
@@andygreyriderGRN Thank you for telling me who to never purchase from, spam is unwelcome.
@@andygreyriderGRN oh that? how is that a rip off of that? it's different.
if you're saying that because it's also a tilting hotend setup well people have done this ages ago before. with that logic there'd be no innovation
btw his way of doing it is 1000x better than makertech3d. they use servos that wear out faster and this is honestly designed far better
@@ameliabuns4058 He's the type of person who would have us driving on wooden wheels still just because it's already been done in some fashion or another. We'd also have no limited slip differential and everyone would be power sliding or fish tailing through wide turns :)
I swear, you are the This Old Tony of 3D printing! Keep on keeping on! Your projects are inspiring as hell!
Not enough hands though.
Now the only thing we still need here is some time travel..
hahahahaha that’s the best comment i’ve seen !
Yes!!
On each end, you should add a filament wipe module to minimize excess stringing/oozing
nice project 🙂
Thanks Adrian!
halo Adrian
Proper Printing: "Today we print in dual filaments on an Ender 3!"
Me: "HeY ! I leVEleD my BEd!"
I gotta say, despite the awesome mod, my favorite part was the seamless edit of you standing over the self assembling parts. Great job! I hope you win.
Your attention to detail in your editing skills is awesome! Love this!
Thank you!
i second that motion!
loving the music
You never cease to amaze me with your ideas, this is pure genius!
You won the first price. Felicitations, keep your good work.
LOL I laughed so hard when you grabbed the self assembling parts, that I scared my poor dog!
if you do not win we RIOT! great job as always Jon'. keep on kicking arse.
Good implementation of the swivel tool change mechanism without using an extra motor or servo.
Thinking, that's what's missing these days. Proper Thinking. Inspiring others to think as well, I hope.
You are just a genius. All my admiration.
How can peasants like me compete against something so amazing as this haha
Do it, except with a dual orbiter DD setup?
Thanks for being crazy as you are in order to do these crazy things that we enjoy so much! Good luck in the contest, I am pretty sure you will get the 1st prize. Cheers!
Now all it needs is brushes on either end of the X gantry to get rid of any drooping from the nozzles (like Design Prototype Test did) and it will be perfect.
That definitely is easier said than done. I thought the same, but there's almost no space for that since it goes to the left to select the right hotend and vice-versa. There are possibilities for sure and I'm going to implement something soon ;)
@@properprinting what about having a cap in front of the nozzle as well as having the retraction pull back when the extruder isn't in use?
Silicone wiper at the left and right limits, low enough not to be hit with the new nozzle before switching, but placed high enough so the nozzle is wiped on rotation. Both wipers placed with slight offset toward the bed.
Just park the inactive nozzle over a silicone pad. Totally stops oozing on my IDEX printer.
@@martylawson1638 Look at the design, that's not going to be easy.
Cool project!
Thanks Stian!
Dude! What an ingenious idea and execution! As I realized what you had done, I couldn’t help but smile! Thank you for what you do for our community!
That is just genius Jon, this deserves to win, I will follow the competition and hope to see you named as the winner!
Thanks Andrew! I'm very curious who the winners will be, such a cool contest!
Niiiiiiiiice! SHOW US MOORE i love this! I wanna see the repeatability and more prints!
Very nice work. The big benefit of this is that there is a lot less loss of printing area. The much more common parallel design means you have to reduce your X-axis limits so that both extruders can cover the same area. And for those who don't want to lose a single square millimeter of space, they could add servos to the flip notches. Retracting them when you don't want to do an extruder swap.
*Very* clever engineering, I’m not surprised it won the prize!
That is extremely cool! If I ever end up getting an ender 3 style printer, I’m going to do this!
I made the mistake of buying the cheapest dual extrusion unit I could find instead of modifying my existing half decent delta printer, could have really kitted it up with all the money I ended up having to spend buying and upgrading the Tevo Tarantula... pretty much everything that can go wrong with it went wrong and had to be replaced with more costly materials if I wanted to keep using it reliably.
I printed the 2 color frog as one of my first prints on it, which it really struggled with since it kept jamming... Eventually I printed the similarly themed octopus in 2 different colors of glow in the dark filament and someone commented “nice rendering” on the photo of it because it looked so surreal!
Good job on the mechanism by the way! One of the more annoying things that happens (I let it print the protective “shell” to avoid it) is ooze from the inactive extruder nozzle that wipes off on the print as the nozzle goes past the outer edges which your design addresses! 👍
Lovely work. I really admire someone who can do all this themselves. There’s someone in the UK who similarly has an IDEX mod for the Ender 3. He sells it as an upgrade kit.
My understanding is that this pivoting nozzle technique is patented, which is why you don’t see this approach used much.
Link to the upgrade kit?
You are amazing sir. Thank you for another inspiring video and best wishes on your future endeavors.
Now that is VERY creative!!! You are the Man and if creality is reading our comments. THIS GUY HAS MY VOTE!!!
You have some of the best content out there! I love getting to watch your new videos!
This is really really unbelievable. Very good project. There are still 3d printing RUclipsrs shows how to level the bed. I think this video change the top to far away 🤪 this raised the bar 😂 thanks
this was so freaking amazing to watch, my husband and i were in awe, amazing man
as someone whos been wanting to do dual nozzle on their ender .. this is awesome
Hi There I am one you many fans and I am very happy for you to have won the contest.
That apart I have noticed that Creality V2.2.1 Motherboard has 2-Z axis drivers and 2 extruder drivers too, try this one and probably improve you design, I do not pretend to know this Board but I have used it to make my own Dual extruder 3D printer.
Same principle as yours with the some differences one is that there are no Firmware modifications involved, my approach can be applied to your design, quite easy actually.
Cheers and bravo.
Siamak
Dude! This is genius! From the thumbnail, I assumed there would be a little NEMA 14 motor or something to roll between extruders...except...you just roll it up the ramp! This is awesome!
Thanks Sam! I really appreciate your comment, this also tells that I can improve the thumbnail, thanks for that insight!
@@properprinting, nah, its not that it’s unclear, but rather I see something like that and I imagine the mechanism for it. But clearly, your idea was more inventive than my idea of what your idea might have been.
Holy shit, this guy knows what's going ON when it comes to 3D printers and mods. Sub'd. When my company goes to scale or I hit the lottery he's the first guy I'm hiring. Thank god for silicon valley money rounds. (I plan on paying people what they are worth and this guy won't be cheap but will be worth it.)
The best use for a dual extruded that I see is that multiple materials that have various properties can be printed at the same time, like for compliant mechanisms and soft robotics differing rigidity of materials in different places could improve their function
For my tool-changer printer I user start- and end-gcode scripts in cura to park and pick up the correct hotend. Backside of this is that it doesn't park the last tool used itself, so I always have to manually put the tool back on the correct holder before starting a new print.
Awesome. One suggestion... for the hotend that’s rolled out of the way. You need a metal plate for the nozzle to slide onto. That’s enough to eliminate the other hotend from leaking onto your prints. Teaching tech made his unused hotend where it rotated onto something similar to a feeler gauge that caps the nozzle
That's a great suggestion, thanks! There is not much space to put something like this, so it will be a bit challenging. But hey, this project on itself was a challenge on its own xD
Yes definitely interested in seeing different materials printed for sure.
Very nice! I like the mechanism! :)
Thanks man! Seeing this thing in action almost felt like that first time seeing a printer printing something xD
One of the most fun to watch well made 3d printing channel, yes please share your knowledge also about these sexy materials (: please!
This is a very cool design. Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
This thing is huge! A lot of people tried this already but nobody so far did it as elegant as you did! Good job mate!
That’s a super clever idea ! I think the most difficult part of it is making sure that the offsets etc are on point, to have both nozzles printing at exactly the same position and height. And to keep it dialled in. Good luck with the competition !
This turns out to be pretty easy. Once the bed is leveled, with one hotend, the other hotend can be adjusted with an adjustment screw. The X and Y offsets can be done by printing the offset calibration prints after which the offset values can be set and stored on the printer itself :) As we say in the Netherlands: Child can do the laundry xD
@@properprinting I watched the video again, indeed, very clever ! Now I understand as well how the rocking mechanism works : it rides up to the left/right tilter end to makes it tilt (hence the name « tilter end » I guess ;) ) Smart :p
You are a genius man, love your videos.
I just got a ender 3 style printer and was brainstorming how a folding mechanism could work. Bravo 👏
When you decide the full build montage in stop motion is too much effort 😂 3:54
You could incorporate some brushes onto each side so that at every toolswap you could do a retract of the filament and wipe the nozzle. So you maybe wouldn’t need a ozzshield.
This is very cool. An amazing thing would be to have it be able to host different hotends
Great project. I love the KISS approach of switching the hotends without using a servo or similar.👍
Great photos at the end... well done!!!
Now make the next version.🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀😎🤓💫👾
👍👍👍 ...clearly one thumb isn't enough. Jon your creativity is breathtaking!
(btw: ALL of your listed INVENTIONS are priceworthy! CREALITY are you LISTENING?)
Make it a rotating plate instead. Then you can have dual extraction, laser and maybe a cutter? Cool stuff and thank you for the inspiration. I know the extruder feed is an issue but you can have laser on one side and other tool on other side of hotends so movement will be minimal.
Very nice 👌🏼. Should considering getting a duet wifi board. It makes prototyping printers so much easier and quicker.
On my IDEX printer I park each head over a silicone pad. 1-2 pounds of force pushing the pad into the nozzle is enough to totally stop oozing. When I had a teflon lined hotend I also found I needed 4-5mm of extra un-retraction after a tool change before the new nozzle would start printing. If you dial it in right, you can do this purge right on the part and it's almost invisible. Finally, have to use Prusa Slicer to get retraction and z-hop in the right order for tool changes. Eventually I'm planning to upgrade that printer to firmware retraction and try Cura again.
A very clean and simple design that works. A definate winner! For oozing, how about a flat rocker plate in the x.y plane that flips in and out with the rest of the mechanism? it would be above the low nozzle and below the high nozzle.
wow, very well done, thats extremely cool! i hope you win, you absolutely deserve to! a suggestion/idea though, especially since you have the mechanical switching mechanism of the hotends already, maybe you could integrate an electronic switch too, s seen in the chameleon mmu implementation, so that you can drive both extruders with the same driver, just switching the signal to a different motor. it would make the mod even more universal and compatible with the original board!
EDIT: ok sorry, you actually have a similar idea at the end so maybe you considered it, but take a look at the chameleon solution because it should work for two hotends too, with no additional driver.
I indeed had this exact idea, but I didn't know the Chamelion did this. You prevented me from reinventing the wheel xD Thanks!
As Always the most impressing Projects come from your Channel! I hope you'll win this, this is epic
Congrats Proper Printing, you've developed a wonderful project, wish you lucky buddy.
I haven't seen anyone with more unique original ender mods than you!
You've already earned it.
Good luck!
The firmware error beep then SIGH 😂🤣 the nozzle switcher is super cool. Legitimately said “whoooaaa”.
Yes, i am very interested in how to print those materials as well as a run down of their physical characteristics. Thanks.
love the style of the video. the Stop Motion bit made me laugh out loud. love it
Extremely smart design! I love it! Add a little stainless steel ooze shield to the nozzle when not in use to prevent the nozzle from oozing in the first place
Congrats on the win of the Annual Chief Modification Master Title!!!
Nice work!
Reminds me of the pivoting heads in the .
Great job, now I want one for my CR-10s Pro V2....hmmm....
The pose at about 8:30 is me like half the day when I'm trying to figure out what went wrong with my printer this time. 😂
Haha😆
This is so satisfying *.* Cool project, good production and excellent result !
I wish you luck for the contest ;)
This is the most practical and ingenious method for dual extruder I've ever seen! Good luck on the contest, I hope you take first place! ⭐🙂👍
As in all you do, fantastic job! Congratulations!!! Hope you win, definitely deserve it. Again, congratulations and keep going onwards..
You are some clever bloke.. hats off to you.. all i do is try and make my copymaster work.. well done and hope you win..
I like the rocker head, nicely done. I see hack a day featured this. Good luck, hope you with the prize!
here's an idea: couple it with a 3d chameleon-style extruder switching, you wont need to modify the board- just add a buton to the x rail which switches the connection from the board between the extruders
What a great attitude! Enjoyed watching you work and discovery the solutions. I'm going to look for more details on your project and try to do what you've done. Subscribed for more down to earth content. Keep up the good work!
Thank you and thanks for the sub!
Genius idea to pop the active head and have a system which actually doesn’t eat up build volume on XY. Made me think if active nozzle can ever knock a blob (unexpected artifact) on print itself and switch to other tool. I assume springs are strong enough to not allow that.
I will compliment you first for the editing skills and efforts and now nice 3d printing idea.
Puffff great job my friend. Excellent work. You is the winner !!! Clap clap clap. !!!!!
That was really well done. That's a mechanism that a lot of people try to make and fail.
Wow!! This is innovating!! Out of all the other printing channels I follow this has to be the best when it comes to new and innovative ideas. Bravo!!
Dude this is balr!! Would buy this for sure. Also I laughed about the almost flipped out "godverdomme"
man way to do it right, great job, this is super awesome,wish most folks gave this much effort!
Very clever. Our world is better for smart creative people like you. Well done.
Just discovered you Jón. What a gem you are!
What a fascinating simple motion solution to dual nozzle printing. Very well done John!!!!
I love how you manage to make videos of probably days worth of work, in a digestible 15 minutes format
Once again..BRILLIANT idea...patent the design before printer makers copy it.
I don't know what was cooler. Seeing your idea coming to live and seeing it work or the glowing frog at the end.
Awesome! Relatively simple and most importantly cheap to make. Love the Design! Great as always!
I really enjoy watching your channel , maybe because I like your accent ! but your content and video editing are the best
Gast! Gozer! Dude! Hoe heb ik dit gemist?! Dat is een geweldig design zeg. In den beginne van de 3dprinter gebeuren heb ik zulke zwenkende dual koppen gezien, maar dit ziet er zo elegant en “af” uit. En de ramps om de kop te wisselen middels een latching mechanisme ... geniaal. Ik hou van dingen zelf maken en delen en ik vind het geweldig als mensen als jij dingen bouwen en dat ook gewoon delen zodat anderen er ook plezier van hebben ... maar dit is een kid die ik zo van jou zou kopen als je dat bij je merch zet! Ik ben wel benieuwd wat de extra driver optie zou moeten zijn voor iemand die gaan profi soldeer lab heeft .... kant en klare oplossingen
Have been following you from when you were at 3k sub's and seems like the ideas are just getting crazier as you progress. This is a superb idea, amazing implementation and you make troubleshooting look so smooth. It just looks so cool in action. From the initial days when you didn't have a dslr to now where your production is amazing, it's just awesome to see. Keep going man I know you will achieve a million subs this year.
Very clever design! If you sneak in some ooze control this thing would be perfect! It would require some sort of PCB but you could also use the micro switch to change what stepper you are powering so you can use the stock board
Dude this is so sick, such a simple idea and a great implementation. And it switches so nice and quick 😩 can't wait to see more!
As always, you keep pushing the bar higher and higher
I love your work and videos. A project Idea : filament recycling. A Filament extruder you can build with printed parts and bought parts without modifications involved machining. 🙂
Cool that you're mentioning this because before I started this channel I tried to make a video about this exact idea. It failed miserably because the motor wasn't strong enough and I never made it a full video. The idea was to make a filament extruder with using only 3D printed parts or parts from a 3d printer.
Brilliant brilliant! Nice video! Nice project! Good work!! It works like a charm! Love it!!!!
Thats a JAW DROP!!!! awesome bright idea!
Downloaded your files, looking forward to using you set up after I get my new Ender 3 V2 un and running to print the parts and then upgrade
When using the klipper firmware the basic mainboard would support dual extrusion. Well, at least kind of since it allows multiple mainboards being chained and thus making multiple low price mainboards work like you had one expensinve mainboard with way more stepper drivers.
