3Dator Y-piece for dual extrusion with one nozzle

This y adapter/piece/part is made for the 3Dator 3D printer. With minor modifications and a few changes in the Marlin firmware it should work with other bowden printers too.

The mechanism is pretty straight forward. One Filament is printed with one of the extruders. On Toolchange the filament is retracted till the other material can be driven into the hotend.

We made a video for you to see it in action:
