3D printers/Hack

Printing yet another octopus gets a bit boring after a while. Let's dive deeper into 3D printing and printers.

Having 2 extruders has some benefits.

• Print with 2 different materials, interesting when printing support material in PVA for example.
• Print with different colors
• Print 2 pieces at the same time. (Called parallel printing)
