    Hello, I am building a 3d printer for fun and learning purposes. I have tinkered with two 3d printers in the past and basically build one of them. I want to create a dual 3d printer, however with two different nozzle sizes, one with the standard .4mm for fine detail and the other with a 1.0mm nozzle for speed and strength. My question is simple can I slice a STL file with repetier host or any other slicer with two different nozzle sizes?

    Yes, depending on the Slicer you use in Repetier-Host
