Is a 3D printer really something that you can take apart and put back together?

[curious aardvark]

nope - no dual extruder.
To be honest, it sounds like something that would be really useful.
I do have a dual extruder (well 2, on one I simply replace the second extruder with a plastic 'model') - but it pretty much just gets used for flexible filaments.

Unless you can afford an IDEX (independant dual extruder) setup, dual extrusion is somewhat problematic and nowhere near as useful as you think it's going to be.

so are you saying that i'd be able to print a 3d model like this perfectly fine without a dual extruder?
the only reason why i was asking about it is because someone on reddit told me that i should get a printer that has one.
