Dual Direct drive - Taichi OR cheap dual color hotend
🕑 Added 2022-12-24 02:55:44 +0000 UTCIncluded in rev29 of the new Apollo zip here
Stock backplate and direct mount on linear rail options
----
Taichi can be used in bowden or dual direct drive

That generic Dual color hotend is a cheap alternative (aliexpress), but strongly recommend changing the heartbreak to all metal (by default the ptfe tube touches the nozzle like a stock creality hotend, so limited to lower temps only). Untested so don't know how good or bad it is yet, but will be tested by zogthegreat(discord) and myself probably after the new year.
The current model is Dual direct drive Orbiter 2.0 only.
Can make a bowden version by request.
Pneumatic fitting should be unscrewed and removed.
----
Klipper config edits will be posted and included in the zip as soon as available and tested. Or come on discord.
Recommended slicer will be PrusaSlicer and SuperSlicer as they have integrated multicolor hotend.
I don't know the state of muti-extruder single hotend in Cura 5

the orbiter interface will be the same between Apollo Lander and Apollo mini (but completely different from TitanOrbiter, you should use the Apollo mini instead)
Small additional question - if I want to use this with the titanorbiter/dual 4010s, do I need to use a different dual orbiter interface model?

anytime :) GDStime are great 5015 for the price, dual ball bearing model, 2 wires. Otherwise Sunon makes quieter fans, both 2 or 4 wires, but blow a little less air, and are a bit more expensive. (I had GDStime fans for a while but I now use Sunon because they offer a 4wire PWM version, like computer PWM fans, that I can run at 24kHz PWM frequency, so the PWM noise is inaudible, unlike 2 wire setup, PWM is at 100Hz usually, and sounds like a low clicking noise. But the setup is more complicated than with 2 wire fan.)
Wow, thanks for the fast answer :-D I'll get my hands on a pair of 5015s.Thank you
