Crazy concept idea - Phaetus TaiChi dual color Dual Direct Drive
🕑 Added 2022-01-12 21:08:38 +0000 UTCPhaetus is soon to release the TaiChi hotend, a dual color one, and this popped in my mind, Dual Direct drive with two orbiter extruder 2.0 (since it's smaller, but could probably work with orbiter extruder 1.5 or dual sherpa mini )
I don't know how doable it would be in reality, but fun to think about.
This beast would probably weigh 500~550g ( 300g of it being the extruders ), so the SaturnOrbiter would be a perfect candidate for it, thanks to its rigidity.
I don't have any of this hardware so only a concept for now, would need two identical extruder (preferably orbiter 2.0 ) and a TaiChi hotend. Someday maybe...
edit: this eventually did happen and is totally viable! when I have the dual color hotend installed that is my setup (supported on SaturnOrbiter and TitanOrbiter)

thank you for your response always constructive. Some methods are a bit complicated for me, but I see more clearly.
