Currently there is a hype in changing a FDM printers into a multi print head system, like ZGE Mark2. With my Ultimaker 2+ this is quite challenging:
- The Ultimaker XY system is quite robust, but is lacking space for more then 2 print heads.
A core XY setup could be organized different, so one side of the printer is completely open.
The next challenge:
- Keep same printer workspace,
- Should fit in current housing.
After many design iterations, it was time to ‘upgrade’ the printer:

Conclusions
Core XY will fit inside a standard UM2 printer.
The printer did work, printing a 24 hours print with ABS.
I did try some print head exchange possibilities, but never finished that.
