I agree, which is why I listed the option to get the better
electronics now.<br>
There are some even fancier electronics but they get much more
expensive quickly, also more than 3 extruders is probably not that
useful and would require some serious upgrades to the rest of the
printer.<br>
<br>
The electronics upgrade will be the last thing on that list to be
bought, partly to give people longer to pledge us up to being able
to afford the better board and partly because its no use without the
rest of the extruder anyway.<br>
<br>
My plan is to get the second extruder working and be able to switch
between the 2 extruders before you start the print which will mean
we don't need the electronics upgrade to get some of the advantages
of the new head like finer prints and printing materials that don't
work in our existing extruder.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I would prefer to see us making the RUMBA addition first as last
if possible thus allowing us to add the third extruder at any
time<br>

Hi All,<br>
We are planning to upgrade the 3D printer, we are now
accepting pledges towards the shopping list.<br>
<br>
The aim is to add a second extruder this will allow us to
print things like ninjaflex, and allow dual material prints
e.g. 2 colours or 1 colour + dissolvable support.<br>
<br>
If you would like to pledge some money or look at the
shopping list go to <a href="http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Equipment/RepRapNozzel" target="_blank">http://swansea.hackspace.org.uk/Equipment/RepRapNozzel</a><br>
<br>
If you have any questions or suggestions for alterations to
the list please email me. Donations of parts on the list are
also welcome but please check with us first to make sure we
don't end up with multiples.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
