The Cyclops will soon be released on E3D's website in beta. Check out more details, and some test pictures, in the full article: http://3dprint.com/20697/e3d-cyclops-hotend/ ‎

Below is a photo of a test object printed using the Cyclops dual hotend extruder:
Sorry, I have to be a pain in the backside and interject...

here is a dual colour print printed with a 2 year old Flashforge 3D.. it's never caused me real headaches printing in 2 colours and does a beautiful job.

Is there a specific difference to the weight versus printing speed versus quality in this that we can't see? I know it's not a great photo but I can see some blue blobbing in the yellow heart.

I can print super fast, but its more down the extruder for quality in my machine.. not so much the weight of the head.

I will print that dragon in the same colours today and post a bit later on... but for now.. I'm pretty happy with the dual extrusion I have. The retracts and everything I have setup for the v1.0 version of the firmware I can get to print this cleanly without having to mess around, and with proftweak you can easily print in 2 colours of PLA/ABS combined no worries.
