gMax 2in1 Dual Features
-
Print up to 243°C
-
Powerful 50W heater cartridge
-
Precision engineered components
-
Easily swappable with gMax 2 PRO Single full extruder
-
Easy dual-material and dual-color 3D printing
-
Wide range of easy-to-swap nozzles between 0.2mm - 1.2mm
Ideal for PVA Support Material
Printing water-soluble PVA as support material allows for easy support removal and provides a better surface finish that traditional support. The gMax 2 PRO Dual 2in1 was made to print PVA supports easily.
We recommend using fresh Esun or Gizmo Dorks PVA and make sure to keep it in a cool dry place with desiccants.
The hotend will retract the inactive filament out of the way, allowing for the second filament to extrude out. The printer will simply purge out the filament to a sacrificial purge tower as it switches.

Chimera+ Dual Nozzle Hotend
The gMax 2 uses genuine E3D Chimera+ hotends for high precision and accessible replacement parts.
Dual Chimera+ with 2 inputs and 2 outputs allows for independent temperature control per nozzle for use with a wide range of materials simultaneously.
Each heater can also utilize different nozzle sizes for extremely strong infill with high detailed perimeters. Mix and match nozzles all in the same dual print!

Dual extrusion print with Atomic Grey PLA and eSun PVA Support.
Industrial Glass Fiber Reinforced
Composite Heated Bed
The glass fiber reinforced heated bed provides a great print surface for all types of filament.
We use a custom laser cut BuildTak G10FR4 composite heated build surface for excellent thermal stability even at high temps combined with an 800 Watt heated pad. The bed is controlled by the printer via an external Solid State Relay (SSR) with PID tuning and fuse protection.
The result is a bed that combines the thermal stability of glass and the resilience of aluminum for a perfect heating cycle. You can adjust temperatures per layer, fine tune the heating cycle and turn off the bed remotely with the gTouch Controller.
