One of the HT500 3D-printer's core features is its dual extrusion functionality. Producing visually appealing bicolored or bimaterial parts, making functional parts out of a two-material combination or highly accurate complex geometries with fully attached soluble support structures become possible with the two hot-ends extruder head. And not only is the 3D printer equipped with the necessary hardware but also provides well-engineered software tools to ensure precise alignment of the hot-ends via the common easy-to-use wizards.\\ | One of the HT500 3D-printer's core features is its dual extrusion functionality.

Only load the desired combination of materials and perform the required calibrations, then prepare and upload your G-code and you are ready for dual extrusion. All necessary settings that are required for successfully printing with both hot ends are described in the following.\\ | Only load the desired combination of materials and perform the required calibrations, then prepare and upload your G-code and you are ready for dual extrusion.

Users of hardware revisions 1.3.0 and older need to equip their 3D printer with the //**wiper upgrade kit**// to participate in the latest developments. The upgrade kit can be ordered pre-assembled with all necessary parts via [[sales@kuelingkuehling.de]].\\ The dual printing profiles released for Slic3r v1.2.8 (and later) are exclusively configured for the use with the wiper.// | ||

- | As previously mentioned, the HT500 dual extruder function is exclusively designed for the use with a wiper. The //Wiper Upgrade Kit// is available for 3D printers purchased before July 2015. Hardware revisions later than Rev1.3.0 can be equipped on request with the wiper ex factory.\\ | ||
