I have two 5 color diamond hotends and want to connect them so I can use them in alternating order, meaning one is completely off while the other is printing. Typical Dual extruder setup, only with diamond hotends.
Using additional motor drivers would be fine and is probably the easiest way?!
So I can just use a switch like these old parallel port selectors?

Not sure how firmware reacts when switching temp sensors?

A hardware solution would be nice, to not rely too much on firmware.

Not looking for an excact solution, just something to research for.

Interesting points about 1.75mm vs 3mm.

Originally plan was to use 3mm for some experimental printing, because it seems cheaper nowadays.
But building my own extruder isn't worth it, been there with a 1:5 belted extruder for my diamond hotend, but the bondtech extruder work more reliable.

Alot of different designs for 1.75mm on aliexpress, but nothing with 3mm. I can't invest in an original bondtech right now.

Closest thing I could find was this, but I prefer a version with geared extruder, not a geared motor. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32956895566.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.6b492e0e5t6HWK

Didn't I read somewhere that it is already implemented or was it a wishlist too? (firmware not Deckingmans script)
