v4 Status

[jimc]

bryan is right, they are tiny and in pictures you just dont get the feel for how tiny they are. i was checking out the one s3d had at their booth at makerfaire. it was the first time i had seen the v4 in person. the first thing i said was "damn thats tiny" lol

Totally understandable. Thanks for the info guys!

I remember when the first dual extruder upgrades came out Rick asked not to post pictures or links to the instructions. I'm not sure if that's still in effect or not - any word on this from Rick?

Is it OK for any of the V4 guys to post pictures of their hot ends or is the design still proprietary? I still have a V3A on mine and am looking into the 24V upgrade. Not sure if I just get the V3B or go with the V4. Since I primarily print PLA, maybe stick with the V3B and wait for the V4 teflon?

Rick posted a picture of the dual hot ends in the forum: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=755&start=40#p3276

Any updates on expected availability and some more details?

I saw Rick said it should be available in November, which has now been and gone! Are we still looking at a release this year or is it likely to slip into early 2015?

Any news on when we think the V4 preorders might get mailed ?

Curious about this also...

I emailed them today, they hope to start sending them out this week. Yay!!

The single v4 upgrade kits will ship on Tuesday (2/3). Hoped to get them shipped this week...

Thank you,
Rick
