Thanks.

Just picked up one of these at work. They are awesome and way better than the previous makerbots. The extruder that comes included will only print one material. But the machine is design to have a snap in snap out feature, and while I haven't tried different materials the extruder does snap in and out easily. So you would just have to get more than one extruder. I think maker-bot only have one for sale currently but more are on the way
I printed some 1cm diameter bevel gears right out of the box. And they were better than the set a made on my replicator2x after hours of tuning.
I would not recommend getting anything but a 5th generation maker-bot at this point. They blow the replicators out of the water in all categories
