Scroll down to "Testing the hot end heating element" - do not click anchor, it actually takes you elsewhere - series of pics with sloppy IDC job on resistor leads (sorry, but caught my eye smile )

So, anyway, what's different?  It's half-metal, half-printed (instead of acrylic), has a cooling fan for filament, ..anything else?

Re: Solidoodle at CES

The extruder carriage appears to be changed as well.  It looks as if it might even be injection molded, but that part of the photo is out of focus too much for me to be certain one way or another.

I see print lines on the vertical... chances are it's still printed

Re: Solidoodle at CES

If anyone want to print out one of the new extruder designs, it looks like this is close to the same thing except flipped.
