4.10 Extruder offset

To be able to make a good dual extruder print whether it is dual color or soluble support you need the
two extruders to be calibrated correctly compared to each other such that there are no holes or overlaps
in the print. This guide will explain how to check and adjust this.

The first thing to do is check whether the offset is in the x- or the y-direction and how much the
offset is. The best way to check this is making a dual color print and check the first layers and
measure the distance or lack of distance between the two extruded materials as shown in the
picture below.

Now that you have found the distance and the direction of the offset you can correct it in the
software. This can easily be done in the slic3r settings. In the printer settings tab select extruder 2
and you will see the option extruder offset to adjust the offset in the x- and y-direction as shown
in the screenshot below. By default the offsets are set to 0.

Once you have adjusted the offset values save the settings and reslice the print to verify that
offset is now correct or readjust if not correct. When the offset is correct you are ready to make
your dual extruder prints.
