sigh.... what has their customer service turned into? That is false.
This excerpt is taken from Makerbot's own site. http://www.makerbot.com/sailfish/
"The Sailfish firmware described here runs on The Replicator 1, Gen 4, and Gen 3 electronics. For The Replicator 1, single and dual extrusion is supported.
- The Replicator 1: Makerbot MightyBoard rev. E or later electronics with one or two extruders.
- Thing-O-Matics: a Makerbot v2.x motherboard, a Makerbot v3.6 Extruder Controller, Makerbot v3.3 Stepper Drivers, a stepper-based extruder, and an Arduino Mega or Arduino Mega 2560. Other than the extruder, these are all “stock” Thing-O-Matic electronics; i.e., Gen 4 electronics. Stepper-based extruders include the Mk6, Mk6+, Mk7, and Mk8. Other electronics and extruders may or may not work with the Sailfish firmware.
- Cupcakes with Gen 4 electronics: As per the above.
- EXPERIMENTAL – Cupcakes with Gen 3 electronics: A 3G5D Shield or the “Ugly Cable Hack” is required in order to control a stepper-based extruder. Additionally, the remaining complement of Gen 3 electronics: RepRap Motherboard v1.2, Plastruder Extruder Controller, and v2.3 or later stepper drivers."
Mind you sailfish has moved multiple revisions forward than the information found on that page, but I do not believe the creators of sailfish dropped support for the 2X.
I hold by my original request to check the items I mentioned.
