What is a dual extruder 3D printer?A dual extruder 3D printer can produce 3D printed objects with different kinds of 3D printing materials (also known as filaments) and colors within a single print job.
What are the dual extruders for?Dual extruders enable the 3D printer to produce objects with multiple filaments, such as a water-soluble 3D printing material, and multiple colors.
Technical DetailsHigh repeatability
Lightning speed
1.5 mm lifting distance
Compatible with flexible filamentsWhy is high repeatability good for a 3D printer? What does high reliability mean?
3D printing is a process where an object is built up by thin layers.
The 3D printer needs to move back and forth along the length of the model to create those thin layers. If the printer loses its position during that back-and-forth motion, the 3D printing process will no longer be aligned, and the 3D printed object will be ruined. The high repeatability and reliability ensure the printer does not become misaligned during the back-and-forth movements.
What does lightning speed mean?
Lightning speed refers to the overall amount of time the 3D printer takes to print an object. However, this speed is heavily influenced by the type of project being printed and how quickly the printer can switch directions during the back-and-forth movement. Having a <1 second switch time means the Pro2 Series can change directions while printing an object. This shortens the overall time needed to complete a 3D printing process. Keep in mind, the general time savings will still be influenced by the project type.
Why is a 1.
5 mm lifting distance beneficial to a 3D printer?
Lifting distance refers to the clearance between the idle printing nozzle and the object being printed. There needs to be some distance between both to ensure the printer’s nozzle does not interfere with the printing. The 1.5 mm lifting distance on the Pro2 Series maintains enough distance between the idle nozzle and the model to not affect the printing process.

The Pro2 Series is compatible with a variety of 3D printing materials (known as filaments) to meet project requirementsDepending on the project goals, more than one 3D printing filament is necessary to accommodate varying structural or functional requirements (some such requirements include flexibility, and strength).
Sometimes multiple filaments are required within the same print job. Having a 3D printer that is compatible with different filament types is both cost-saving and practical for print jobs multiple filaments.
The build plate is a heated, flat surface in every 3D printer where all projects are printed. An even heat surface on a build plate is crucial for creating high-quality 3D printed parts. It also ensures that all 3D printing filaments are not damaged due to unequal heat distribution.
HEPA air filtration removes toxic particles released during the 3D printing processThe Pro2 Series has HEPA air filtration to clean the air of any particles (including nano-particles) released during the 3D printing process. The HEPA air filter works effectively in classrooms, offices, and in large and small workspaces.
The Pro2 Series’ HEPA air filtration operates silently, designed to work quietly in the background of any workspace.
The Pro2 Series’ 7-inch touch screens allow users to interact with the printer directly. It also provides on-screen assistance and visual model selections to simplify operating and monitoring the 3D printer and 3D printing process. As with all Raise3D 3D printers, the Pro2 Series is compatible with ideaMaker, a 3D slicing software, and RaiseCloud, a cloud-based 3D printing management platform. This wireless connection allows users to keep track of every print job while on the move.
Precaution measures are installed to save work in case the 3D printing material runs out or if there is a power outagePower loss can cancel and ruin an ongoing 3D printing project. However, the Pro2 Series’ power loss secures the 3D printing process in an unexpected power outage.
In addition, the filament run-out sensor on the Pro2 Series extruders prevents ruined print jobs due to running out of filament.
High-quality 3D printing comes from high-quality 3D printers. The Pro2 Series uses a full metal frame to create a specific motion system that allows the machine to smoothly glide as it prints. This motion system works with precise positioning to ensure 3D print jobs are as accurate as possible. Interchangeable nozzles allow the Pro2 Series to print at different levels of detail.

What are the advantages of dual extruder 3D printer? nine0039
The main advantages of a dual extruder 3D printer include:
Better for supports: one extruder prints your material of choice, such as ABS or PLA, while the second extruder prints water-soluble supports, such as PVA filament.
These supports dissolve easily in water and produce smoother prints without having to manually remove them.
Multiple Colors: Dual filament 3D printers can print multiple colors of the same filament type such as PLA for stunning multi-color details. nine0003
Multiple parts at the same time (IDEX): IDEX 3D printers such as the BCN3D Sigma D25 have two extruders that work completely separately and can print different parts at the same time.
What is the best dual extruder 3D printer?
That's why we've ranked the best dual extruder 3D printers on the market. We rated these printers for value for money, reliability, build volume, ease of use, and various other features. nine0003
Budget Dual Extruder 3D Printers (under $1,000)
These amazing 3D printers break the rules of the definition of "dual extruder 3D printing".
To be clear, they can be loaded with two separate filaments, such as red and yellow PLA, but they will come out of the same nozzle, mixing the two colors during the printing process. Some call it dual nozzle 3D printing. nine0003
The results are amazing. Connect red, orange and yellow threads and watch your printed vase look like an exotic cocktail. The printers offer four dual 3D printing modes: single color, dual color, gradient and mixed. This provides a huge selection of print designs for such an inexpensive dual extruder 3D printer.
In terms of specifications, the A20M has a good working volume of 255 x 255 x 255 mm, while the A10M is only slightly smaller. The A20M also boasts improved stability as it is better anchored. Overall, this is an accurate (layer resolution down to 0.1 mm), interesting and inexpensive two-color 3D printer that combines colors and filaments through a single nozzle. nine0079 single nozzle geeetech a20m filament mixer.
2. BIBO 3D printer (touch laser if purchased with laser engraver)
- Dual extruder 3D printer cost: $599
- Assembly volume: 214 x 180 x 160
How do we get started with the BIBO eccentric printer? Well, the most important thing is that it also performs another function.
It can be used as a laser engraver! The engraver can permanently carve your favorite designs on wood, as well as cut paper or felt materials - and print in 3D! nine0003
You can purchase BIBO as a 3D printer kit or pre-assembled, with or without a laser engraver. And if he performs another function, this does not mean that he cannot succeed in both. In fact, this is a very efficient multi-extruder 3D printer with a minimum layer height of 0.05 mm and stable printing in a closed working chamber.
This is a great printer, crazy and ambitious. Even the product images on Amazon showcase the machine's character and personality. We love it. nine0003
3. Flashforge Creator Pro 2 - affordable 3D printer IDEX

Best Dual Extruder Upgrades
8. Mosaic Palette 2S / 2S Pro - Best Upgrades for Dual Extrusion Filament Splicer
- Palette 2S Price: $599
- Palette 2S Pro Price: $799
If you want to print multiple colors without a dual extruder, consider Palette as well. Instead of 3D printing with two multi-colored filaments from separate extruders, the Palette 2S and 2S Pro fuse up to four multi-colored filaments - or different materials - together during printing to create multi-color or multi-material parts. nine0003
They work by running your model through specially designed software - CANVAS for Palette - to assign different colors to different areas of your model before printing.
When a particular area needs to be printed, the Palette software splices the colored filaments to print that particular area in the material or color you choose.
This makes Palette ideal for creating architectural models for construction projects, colorful desktop models of your favorite designs or D&D models, and multicolor prototyping businesses. The standard Palette 2S model includes all of these features, while the Palette 2S Pro can also splice up to 20% faster and comes with an extended 2-year warranty and replacement parts. nine0003
Palette is compatible with hundreds of 3D printers, including almost all of the most popular options. For more information, you can check your printer's compatibility here, and as for choosing between the Palette 2S and 2S Pro: The 2S Pro cuts filament 20% faster and comes with a longer warranty - so if that's important to you, spend the extra money on 2S Pro.
9. Prusa Multi Material Upgrade 2S - Prusa Upgrade Kit
- Price: $299
While you can upgrade the palette for most 3D printers, Prusa printer owners can purchase a similar Multi Material Upgrade kit that allows you to print up to 5 different materials at the same time.
Prusa printers are some of the best 3D printers under $1,000 and this upgrade turns your Prusa into a multi-color or multi-material 3D printer.
MMU2S is an improvement over the previous version of the Multi Material Upgrade Kit 2.0, key changes include a material feed sensor, buffer and a much improved overall calibration process. nine0003
The Filament Sensor goes further, checking not only for the presence of filament, but also to see if it has reached the Bondtech gears for printing. This provides much more reliable extrusion and makes filament calibration and loading easier.
The filament buffer also saves you the hassle because each of your filaments (especially if you're using all 5!) won't get tangled or tangled. Organizing and separating each filament also saves space on your desk or 3D printer table.
Q&A for Dual Extruder 3D Printers
What is a dual extruder 3D printer?
Dual extruder 3D printers have two print heads or nozzles instead of one print head like standard FDM 3D printers.
Dual printing frees you from the limitations of using only one type of 3D printer filament and allows you to create multicolored parts with ease.
Dual head 3D printing improves printing with soluble supports such as HIPS and PVA and also allows multi-color parts to be printed. nine0079 Most budget dual extruder 3D printers are dual nozzle printers, meaning they have two nozzles but extrude from a single head, but we also include more advanced printers. These advanced options include IDEX 3D printers with two printheads that move completely independently for efficient and versatile printing.
What are the main types of dual extruder 3D printers?
The main types are:
1. Dependent Dual Extruder 3D Printers - Most inexpensive multi-extruder 3D printers are dependent, that is, two nozzles that extrude separate filaments are attached to one print head. They follow the same path, filling areas (such as a support or main part) in turn. nine0079 2. Dual Extruder Independent 3D Printers (IDEX 3D Printers) - IDEX extruders use two printheads independently of each other, doubling productivity when printing multiple parts at the same time.
3. Dual Extruder Printer Upgrades - These upgrade kits, such as the Palette 2S series and Prusa Multi Material Upgrade 2.0, transform a single extruder 3D printer into a printer that can print up to 5 colors at once using splicing systems and specialized software and plans for filling 3D models. nine0079 4. Mixed color 3D printers are some of the cheapest dual extruder 3D printers, and maybe not even dual extruders. They use one printhead and one nozzle, but two filaments to mix the colors while melting. You can print models in half color, or mix colors like red and blue to create a purple tint.
Can the 3D printer be upgraded with a dual extruder?
Yes, you can. Dual extruder upgrades such as Palette 2S (compatible with most popular 3D printers) and Prusa Multi Material Upgrade 2.0 (for Prusa 3D printers) will turn your standard FDM printer into a multi-color 3D printer. nine0079 However, manually modifying a 3D printer and adding a second extruder is more difficult.
There are guides for turning your 3D printer into a dual extruder 3D printer like the Ender 3, but for the less tech-savvy, we recommend avoiding this.
Should I buy a 3D printer with two extruders?
If you want to print multi-color prints at home for fun or create better quality smooth surface prototypes using dissolvable supports, a dual extruder 3D printer is worth getting. nine0079 However, if you don't need multimaterial or multicolor prints, or want to print high resolution character models that are better suited to resin 3D printing, for example, then it might not be worth it.
