    The bed on my printer is made from PEI (polyetherimide) thermoplastic probably made by Ultem. This bed material does not need any surface treatment to work. When the bed is heated to 65 degrees, the printer…

    well, you need to check the distance and the temperature of the extruder and the motor driver if  is fine.  To get rid of these problems, you can choose the good quality Dual Extruder  from elecrow.

    This is a Dual Extruder which is used on Makerbot 3D printers. The two print heads are conjoined with a piece of high hardness aluminum bar with good heat dispersion and high reliability. The main benefits of this Dual Extruder includes being able to print more complex objects with support structures and more aesthetically pleasing objects that feature multiple colors or multiple materials.
