Summary
... still trying to get comfortable with openSCAD, so i decided to create these parametric filament-splitter for dual-material-prints with a single nozzle.
This is a work-in-process and somtimes i am still struggling with jams (especially when the filament enters the hotend (e3dv5-china-clone)).
Nevertheless - good luck :)
How I Designed This
The following script is for Simplify3D (@ToolChange Script) to change the filament and purge the nozzle.
You have to set the values for retract and feed to your needs.
