Compatibility:
Hardware Requirements:
- Electronics board capable of running two extruder motors, two hotend heaters/thermistors, a servo, an inductive probe and part cooling fan.
- A metal platform for using the included probe.
- 24V power supply for running the hotend heaters (70W each) and fans.
-
A mounting solution for your printer, you may be able to use the 2020 profile carriage or have to design your own.
Firmware Requirements:
- Klipper firmware.
-
The latest Marlin firmware with "SWITCHING_NOZZLE" feature.
Software Requirements:
- Slicer with dual extrusion support
-
Slicer capable of x/y dual hotend offset.
We recommend CURA.
2024:
Both sides of the switching hotend are now high-temp, capable of 300C.
TWO IN ONE
Dual Switching Hotend v2.1
The DSH allows for reliable independent dual material printing of a wide array of materials.
It is compatible with most open-source 3D printers.

TWICE AS CAPABLE
CNC'd Aluminium Heatsink
Machined from a single block of aerospace grade aluminium, the DSH Heatsink is designed to effectively dissipate heat and maintain mechanical precision between the two nozzles with a single body design.
PURPOSE PICKED MATERIALS
Copper and Titanium Heatbreak
Machined from a single block of aerospace grade aluminium, the DSH Heatsink is designed to effectively dissipate heat and maintain mechanical precision between the two nozzles with a single body design.
TURN UP THE HEAT
Print Up To 300°C
High quality thermistors provide more accurate temperature readings.
A brass sleeving and coiled steel wiring harness ensures reliable operation at sustained high temperatures.
ZERO BACKLASH
Precision 1.9mm Bowden Tubes
High quality PTFE tubes with tight internal diameters of 1.9mm are included.
The tighter internal diameter reduces filament backlash within the tube and improves extrusion precision.
2020 Extrusion Tool Carriage Kit
The Tool Carriage Kit allows you to mount the DSH to printers that use a 2020 profile as the gantry.
Two Colour PLA
Make easy work of complex dual colour prints such as these.

Dissolvable Support Material
Use PVA filament to print impossible geometries. When done, just use water to dissolve the support material away.
Doing these sorts of prints is made easy with dual independent nozzles on the Switching Hotend.

Functional Dual Material Prints
Here we've combined PLA and flexible TPU to create this single part hinge.
