Quadriple Extruders
Quadruple Extruder for 3D Printers
All-metal Quad Extruder Full Kit
The Kraken is an advanced quad extruder featuring the ability to extrude 4 different filaments at the same time! Each of the 4 filaments can be extruded at different temperatures meaning the possibilities are endless!It measures 40x35mm in footprint, currently available in the 1.75mm size.
It is Bowden fed water cooled very compact, so it is able to be used in a heated chamber. Adjust the nozzles height and they can be set so that they are fully planar to the bed.
The Kraken is modeled after the wildly successful E3D V5 Hotends meaning you can expect reliability and jam free prints. Since this is an all metal hotend, you can print in every material including Polycarbonate. The unit comes with 4x 0.4mm nozzles. This quad extruder is priced below comparable dual extruders because we want to get as many people as possible to start printing with 4 filaments at once!
This kit has everything you need including all 4 nozzles as well as all the electronics such as heater cartridges and thermistors. Additionally, we include a water pump with tubing. This kit does not come with a reservoir for the water but those are very easy to come by as all you need is any kind of waterproof container. There is no need to have a radiator.
The Kraken is experimental and is being released as Beta version. That means it works but you should tinker and make adjustments as needed. There is a vast community of Kraken users and developers who work on and developing the software and support for the extruder.
