Only thing I still am going to buy for my UM2 is the flexdrive if it ever makes it in to a regular product

Apparently they have profiles for Simplify3D and Cura that you can download from the site if you don't want to use their slicer. So that should be a yes.

Models for multi-color usually consist of different objects that touch each other. In the slicer you are able to select the object and assign it to an extruder. I suspect that finding or making those models will be the biggest issue of all. For me personally the printer was most important, but the i...

Well since it is a pretty short set of tubes due to lateral movement alone, I don't think the impact of it will be as big as what it is for the UM. If it turns out to be an issue I'll just disable the kit when I want to use flexible filament. It doesn't look like its that much work. I suspect the ki...

As mentioned in the other topic with the i3 video, I just purchased the printer and the 4 color upgrade kit. We'll see when they arrive. If they're here and you guys have questions or want to see specific things being printed, let me know :) Only thing I'm a bit scared of is that they went from dire...

Would've loved to see a timelapse of that print
