Hello, anybody have any experience with more then one extruder?
I see most designs out there have both the nozzles fixed. Some people say that this can give problems with the not used nozzle which contaminates the active nozzle. I can imagine just a little oozing can give problems.
I was thinking about a design where I can tilt the not used nozzle with a servo. When being used the nozzle is held in place by a magnet (and the servo).
Very quick sketch:

I imagine both nozzles mounted on an alu profile and a 1/4 gear to turn it.
What do you think? Should the nozzles just be fixed and overcomming the problems or is this a path to walk down?
