| - | You'll need to measure the offset of the nozzles to prepare for dual extrusion. To do this, make sure your extruders are loaded with two different colors of PLA and run "{{:software:combined_offset_test.gcode|combined offset test.gcode}}". This will print a test pattern to allow you to calibrate the extruder offset. Find the line in the vertical and horizontal test that match up best and look up the corresponding number in the table at the beginning of that file. Insert these numbers into the toolhead offset for your left extruder in Slic3r. For more detail on this process, and for a brief tutorial on how to use a duo, download pdf file {{:software:usingyourduo2013.pdf|here.}} | + | You'll need to measure the offset of the nozzles to prepare for dual extrusion.
