Going to take a look at them soon! (Work has vid's blocked!)
I'm also looking for add-on/ideas to add to an i3, too.
I've ordered parts for my bed leveler and will print required parts today!
So far I have:
LEDs on the bed
Auto Bed-Leveling
Bowden (never tried this)
Dual Extruder (maybe, not a fan)
LCD (built into the frame)
Network the printer (R-Pi or BBBlack)
Any more?

Don't stop with a dual extruder, use THREE. Now you can print in RGB (well actually CMY or RYB I think) and mix the colors to get ANY combination (like mixing paint!).

Ok Here is what I would want to see:
- Auto levelling,
- neon lights and glow in the dark paint - just for fun
- multi extruding,
- wifi/blue tooth adaptation (to send from smart device to print)
- self containing box/cover to help reduce external factors
- "non stick" surface, I am going through tape like crazy (not installed heat bed yet)
- recycling hopper on the top so you can re-use old prints and plastic
and then I suppost a function that prints money so I can be rich.... not asking a lot I know...

Two heads with dual boden extruders to reduce weight on the Z and X. It can be a fairly compact and light x carriage.

For a surface, I'm using perforated board and a 'raft'.. No lift or failed prints. (well, very low percentage).
Started to make ABS Juice the other week, will try that soon.
I did try the bluetooth on a sanguino but moved away from the sanguino. Looking at a build chamber next, maybe a small barrel type with a perspex window
Had a dual extruder, but the motors I used went really (extremely) hot really quick and made my bracket melt on one side.. :S Moved back to single.
Bowden is nice. Great looking piece.
No neons yet - I found an LED piece which you solder onto the heat bed to illuminate the print area.

3 Head Extruder but it prints one dot at a time instead of lines. i.e Extrude enough for a pixel sized dot, then the next extruder and the next dot,and the next and have then intersect like you do with newspaper print. now that would be interesting.
