Wow! They only sold 10. It looks pretty interesting. If they're really going to sell it for $230 (not just as a beta price,) it's a phenomenal bargain. Controller, 2 motors, 2 hotends, 2 thermistors, 2 fans, cables, a mount, vitamins and a 350W power supply!
That's more like a $500 (at least) package.
I'm eager to hear more about the Extruderboard.

Holy moley! The Extrudrboard is a great deal as well . $65 for support of 2 more extruders! That makes the Printrboard amazing!

I am anxious to hear about it -- I almost bought it but haven't done the v2 upgrade yet so decided to wait and finish that. I don't care much about 2 color, but I would love PVA support.

I'm seriously tempted, but don't really want to give up 2". I just have an LC and my bed space is at a premium.

Re: Dual Extruder Beta

I have a Printrbot plus V2 and I just recieved my dual extruder beta yesterday. I need to upgrade my belts, pulleys, z axis rods and im ordering an LCD as well. So I started to disassemble my v2 to prep for the dual extruder. The nice part about the kit is the fact that the extruders are measured and sealed together to make sure they are the exact same length. This is very important for setting up the dual extruder. Its neat to be a part of a hand full of people that have this setup.
So far looking through the setup I can tell that it was well thought out and seems to come with everything you might need. I will be documenting this build on my WordPress site. If anyone else is working on this beta please post here or get ahold of me as it would be a lot better to work together on any potential issues.
