In many cases, the second extruder in the dual extruder printer isn't used. Each stepper motor added a lot of weight to the print head. This increases ringing/ghosting and other artifacts in prints. It also affects the printers ability to operate at higher speeds. Removing the stepper is an easy and a free way of improving print quality. I chose to remove the right extruder motor since the left one is closest to the cooling fan which helps with bridging.
This motor blank serves as a stand in for the unused extruder in Replicator 2 clones (Flashforge Creator Pro, CTC, Qidi Tech 1). The blank prevents the bracket at the top of the print head from slouching when the motor is removed.
