Topic: Press and e3d titan

Has anyone looked into upgrading the Press with the new E3D Titan extruder?
http://e3d-online.com/Titan-Extruder
I haven't found dimensions on it yet, From the above page it looks like it might just bolt into the press.  Not sure if the release lever on top would clear.

You'd lose about 10mm of build height, but I'd gladly trade that for finishing more prints.

It'd need a new firmware image for the proper temperature tables, a new fixture for the touch probe, and a little fidling with the porbe offset, but could be much easier than some of the mods out there.

SD Press - v1 (Pre-order) / RAMPs /w DRV8825's / Cyclops (25w) / Dual Bowden / Mk8 Gear / MK2b PCB Heat bed /w custom replacement Z / PEI Bed
SD2 / E3D v6 / Direct Drive / Mk8 Gear / RAMBo v1.3 / PEI Bed / Anti Z backlash mod / Ikea Expedite enclosure.
Both Driven by Octoprint (devel) via a RPi B+ / Neopixel status alerts / GPIO Controlled SSR / (SD2) 450 Watt PSU for remote power-up/shutdown.
