BTW, $349 is a pretty good deal on the Press.

Re: TCT talks about new "Press", Sam and Solidoodle

It's a real good deal, and tempting, but I've been looking for the large dual extruder for some time now. I had been eyeing the flashforge creater X, but the workbench has a bigger area.

Re: TCT talks about new "Press", Sam and Solidoodle

The $349 is tempting since I just have a SD2. But I should save my pennies for a dual version when it comes out.

Re: TCT talks about new "Press", Sam and Solidoodle

Yeah, I'm wanting a (working) dual extruder as well or I would have jumped at this too.

zburhop has decided to build his own (using his SD2 to create many of the parts). I may just copy his if the results are good. He has a ways to go still but he got it talking to his computer last week:

The workbenches have the ability to dual extruder.  After I get this delta built, I will definetely start saving up for the workbench!

Re: TCT talks about new "Press", Sam and Solidoodle

Has the website been like that for long? I haven't looked at the site since the SD4 came out.

Impressive new line up, looks like they've been listening and realize that people don't want a machine with wires hanging out everywhere.

Good job and a pat on the back for all involved.
