Re: Looking for a 3D Printer

For what it's worth: Robo3d R1 Plus printer boards don't have the support for multiple extrusion.

The Robo3d printers ship with only one extruder.

The R1 (not plus) can be custom upgraded to have two extruders. I have a Robo3D R1 and am in the process of adding dual extruder capability. I have not had any major issues with the printer (that weren't caused by me...), and find it to be a perfectly capable printer, but I have had issues with dimensional accuracy.

Would recommend for the under $1000 price range.
