This is very interesting stuff. I recieved on of the dual extruder beta so this upcoming week we will recieve info to start putting it all together as Brook is getting back from NY today. Very interesting stuff. Im glad they realized the importance of having the extruders mounted at the exact same height. Each set of extruders is measured for consistency. I decided to switch my ramps over to run my Printrbot Simple, which to my knowledge has not been done. That way I can run my printrboard on my plus v2 with dual 1.75mm ubis hotends.

I will definitely be logging my experience as well as troubleshooting and results. You have done a good job of explaining the types and common issues. Keep up the good work and eventually I might need some help with the ramps to simple setup.

Looks sweet!!!

I'm switching my rig back to the Printrboard + Extrudrboard with the new Printrbot LCD. It'll be interesting to see how the firmware issues aply.

That will be exciting to see how they handle all the firmware issues. Im ordering an LCD soon also so I can print true standalone as I have setup a new prototyping space that has no other computer other than my tablet. I wish they would come out with android support. There are several ppl working on it but I haven't hewrd much lately.

We are suppose to get build info for the beta when brook gets back from NY. It shall be exciting. The new 350w 25amp atx psu that came with it looks to be a lot nicer than the old diablotek. I will be running that as well as the jrs. Lsptop psu with no heatbed to start. Eventually I will switch to my xbox 360 psu or another 40amp psu with the 25amp Printrbot gave.
