Re: Cyclops hot end

You'll need a board that is capable of driving two extruders so something like a Rumba or any number of boards.  You will also need another motor and yes it is most likely to be a Bowden setup.  That's not to say it couldn't be setup as a direct drive as that is actually my plan.
