Why spend money on a single Extruder when you can buy a Dual Extruder at almost the same cost.
Installing Software (Replicator G)
When you finish all the steps above, here comes to the software: Replicator G.Replicator G translates designs from .stl file which you can download from www.ishare3d.com or www.thingiverse.com.

Download and Install ReplicatorG
Updating from an earlier version of ReplicatorG?
If you already had an earlier version of Replicator G, you need to remove some old settings after you update. The easiest way to do this is to restore all preferences to the defaults. If you are a Mac system user, please go to the Replicator G menu, select Preferences..., and click the Restore all defaults button. For Windows system users, please go to the File menu and click Restore all preferences to defaults.
After all settingS, you will see the files as bellow, double click the program Replicator G.
After the image is imported, there may be some problems, such as the diagram is unseen or the position is wrong. In that case, the following function keys can be used:
When the position is in the center, it is ideal for printing. The next step is to generate G-code.
You can get the G-code by clicking the button in the red box.
When the position is in the center, which is the ideal printing position. The next step is to
A: Slicing profile. Select replicator, slicing defaults
B: Left and right extruder print selecting. Left means to print with the left extruder, while right means to print with the right extruder.
C: If your sample is in dangling structure, print support is needed. None means no support. Exterior means surface support. Full support means all support.
D: Object infill. 100% is a solid print. We usually choose 10% fill in order to save filament.
E: Layer Height. Layer thickness is related to precision. Generally, the minimum print thickness is 0.18mm.0.27mm is most commonly used.
F: Number of shells is the wall thickness -- usually set at 1
G: Feed rate is generally in the range of 70-30O: Travel feed rate is generally in the range of 70-30P: Print temperature is 220 degreesClick G code Generation, a progress bar will appear generate G-code.
And there is another possibility. Users who do not choose the default installation path in the installation of python, can click G-code generation button in Replicator G, and a dialog box will pop up, alerting that the executable file python can not be found.
First click "N" button in the above dialog box to close the dialog box. To solve this problem, we need to configure the corresponding menu.
Select the parameter setting option in the File.Click the button “select Python interpreter”.
Find the Python installation directory in the dialog box, select python.exe and click "Open".
After clicking the Close button, the settings are done! The machine will work normally by clicking the G-code generation button. Next we will start a preliminary test on the machine’s connections and we will heat the platform and extruder.
