    Convert robo3d r1 plus to duel hot end. I have a design for a compact quick change duel head print carrage. Does anyone know if the ramps board will take another input, this design has the nozzles offset at 6.5mm at a45degree angle. This means the total travel that is lost is only 5.5mm for each axis.
    The problem is how do I drive the 2nd extruder motor? I am using Simplify3d and have be told this will not be a problem. I have a need to run PCA in the 2nd nozzle, my parts are very,complex and removing the support material is next to imposable,
    Would,like some help. I will share my design filled.

    If you toss the robo specific RAMPS and use a GENERIC RAMPS it has a second extruder output

    Robo borrowed it as a second Z axis drive, but there is no need for that. The default RAMPS uses one driver for both and it is fine.

    I'll let @Geof point you to his thread on how to convert back to a generic RAMPS 1.4 board.
