BCN3D Stratos Introduction

Dual Mode

Both extruders will be enabled to print the part. This printing mode is used when it is necessary to use different materials or colors to build the model.

Single Mode

Only one extruder is enabled to print the model, in this way all the parameters are configured to print with the material that you have loaded in this extruder.

If you don't use this mode when you only need to print with just one extruder, the following errors may occur:

The material selected in the extruder that doesn't print doesn't match with the loaded in the printer, and therefore cannot be printed.

The selected materials match those loaded in the printer but print failures appear because print parameters are shared between extruders.

Duplication Mode

Both extruders will print symmetrically to build twice as many models at once. It is important that the extruders have the same material and hotend loaded in order to use this mode.

The printing capacity is doubled but the available build plate will be reduced by half.

Mirror Mode

It is similar to the duplication mode, although in this case one of the extruders will move as a reflection of the other to build the model and its mirror copy. It is important that the extruders have the same material and hotend loaded in order to use this mode.

The printing capacity is doubled but the available build plate is reduced to less than half the original size.
