simultaneous printing

since multiple toolheads are available on the xl, would it be possible to do simultaneous printing of identical objects ?
Basically like for example flashforge do it in the creator 3, when you want to print an object twice at the same time it basically cuts the x axis volume a little more than in half and printing is done at the same time since all the movements are the same on both heads after initial positioning.

Don't know enough about the technology though iof the xl would be able to even load two extruders at once but would seem like a good way to use that extra build volume

RE: simultaneous printing

As far as I know / have read, the XL only prints with one head at a time.

RE: simultaneous printing

As you can see in the demonstration video of the XL, it uses a head-pickup mechanism which can only pick up one head at a time. This means no dual, mirror or simultaneous printing. The system is in its functionalitly almost the same as the E3D Toolchanger.
