3D model description

Thanks for the original design! Had to tweak it a little for my purpose.

Made this remix to level the dual extruder on my 2016 FFCP.

Steps to use:
1: Remove all filament and allow nozzles to cool
2: Remove parts cooling fan and duct
3: Remove hotend cooling fans
4: Remove the extruder motors
5: Remove bowden tube mount from top of the extruders
6: Remove two bolts holding hotend bar on
7: Use the bowden tube mount bolts to attach the printed tool onto the bottom of the nozzles
8: Use a feeler gauge (or fold paper until the appropriate size) to measure distance of one nozzle (most owners report that one hotend is jammed and cannot be adjusted)
9: use the rear 2mm screw to loosen one hotend and adjust to same depth as the other one.
10: Tighten the screw and recheck. If both nozzles are the same, you did it! Celebrate with good food.
11: Replace all parts in reverse order
12: Re-level the bed to both nozzles

Tip: I like to fine tune bed leveling by using 2-3 skirts on my print and adjust them bed height real-time. Trust me, this method is the best!

If you know how to stop the nozzles from oozing after the start code, please share. That is my biggest issue in dual extrusion. My ooze shield protect the print, but the first layers has oozing that I cannot tune out.
