PrintrBot Metal Plus Dual Extruder Upgrade

Good news for those of you who own a Printrbot Metal Pus. The company has just unveil an available dual extruder upgrade for $250. The new extruder will allow you to print using multiple colors and materials during a single build. The company warns that this extruder is for expert users only and that it can be a bit tricky to install. The extruder will only be made available for a special three week period until the end of April. More information on this extruder and the installation process can be found here: http://3dprint.com/56966/printrbot-dual-extruder/

Below is a picture of what the assembled dual extruder will look like once installed on your Printrbot Metal Plus:

I've had my dual-extruder Metal Plus since January. I ordered it on the day they became available.

It's working well for me, but my conclusion is that two extruders square the difficulty, and I suspect three extruders cube the difficulty!
