Code Examples
Example 1: Marlin Firmware Configuration for Dual Extrusion
In this example, we will configure the Marlin firmware to work with the dual extrusion capability of the heat sink.
```c++
// Marlin Firmware Configuration
// Dual extrusion settings
#define EXTRUDERS 2
#define HOTEND_OFFSET { 20, 20 } // Offset for each hotend
// Heat sink settings
#define HEATER_0_PIN 2  // Heater pin for hotend 1
#define HEATER_1_PIN 3  // Heater pin for hotend 2
#define THERMISTOR_PIN 0  // Thermistor pin
// Extruder motor settings
#define E0_MOTOR_PIN 4  // Extruder motor pin for hotend 1
#define E1_MOTOR_PIN 5  // Extruder motor pin for hotend 2
```
Example 2: Slicing with Slic3r for Dual Color Printing
In this example, we will configure Slic3r to slice a 3D model for dual color printing using the heat sink's dual extrusion capability.
```python
# Slic3r Configuration
# Dual extrusion settings
layer_height = 0.2
first_layer_height = 0.2
perimeter_speed = 30
infill_speed = 60
support_material_speed = 30
# Heat sink settings
extruder_offset = { 20, 20 }  // Offset for each extruder
hotend_temp = { 210, 210 }  // Temperature for each hotend
# Color settings
color1 = "Red"
color2 = "Blue"
# Slice the model
slicer = Slic3r()
slicer.add_profile("Dual Extrusion")
slicer.set_layer_height(layer_height)
slicer.set_first_layer_height(first_layer_height)
slicer.set_perimeter_speed(perimeter_speed)
slicer.set_infill_speed(infill_speed)
slicer.set_support_material_speed(support_material_speed)
slicer.set_extruder_offset(extruder_offset)
slicer.set_hotend_temp(hotend_temp)
slicer.set_colors(color1, color2)
```
Example 3: Python Script for Real-time Temperature Monitoring
In this example, we will create a Python script to monitor the temperature of the heat sink in real-time using the thermistor input.
```python
# Import necessary libraries
import serial
import time
# Open the serial connection to the 3D printer
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 115200)
# Define the thermistor pin
thermistor_pin = 0
while True:
    # Read the thermistor value
    thermistor_value = ser.read(thermistor_pin)
    temperature = thermistor_to_temperature(thermistor_value)
    print("Temperature: ", temperature, "C")
    time.sleep(1)
def thermistor_to_temperature(thermistor_value):
    # Implement the thermistor-to-temperature conversion formula here
    pass
```
Note: The above script is a basic example and requires implementation of the thermistor-to-temperature conversion formula and error handling mechanisms.
These code examples demonstrate how to use the 3D Printer 2 in 1 J-Head Heat Sink V6 Extruder Double Head Aluminum Block Heatsink for E3d 3D Printer in various contexts, including Marlin firmware configuration, Slic3r configuration, and real-time temperature monitoring using a Python script.
