Hey guys,
I've bought an E3Dv6 and, rather than replacing the stock hot end which still works great, I'd like to run both simultaneously. I know the E3Dv6 requires a different firmware setting though, and I can't find an existing dual mount system for both (only two stock hot-ends, or two E3Dv6s, not one of each). Has anyone run this setup or have any advice to get it going?
Dual hot end: stock plus E3Dv6?

The problem is attempting to get the nozzle tips absolutely level in relation to each other.smurpau wrote:Hey guys,

It is hard enough to do when the hotends are exactly the same, I do not think that the work required to get two different hotends working in a dual configuration would be worth the effort.
Buy another E3DV6 and the proper mount which can be found on Thingiverse, etc.
