yeah so far all ive read about printing PC says that you pretty much need a heated bed chamber.

i wonder if i just setup my heat gun to blow on it the whole time i can get away without having one. eh now that i think about it though, i don't really want a higher electric bill so i'll pass on that little test.

I don't know if this tells you all of what you're looking for...

"The upgrade will include all of the parts (hot ends, motor mount, filament drive, harness, etc) to upgrade an existing 24v M2. If you have an earlier M2 with dual power supplies, you'll need to upgrade to a single power supply first."

Just put my pre-order in.

Since there are two versions of the v4 (all-metal and ptfe liner) should we send out one of each with the upgrade?

Rick - could you give a quick summary of the pros/cons of the two? I thought that all-metal would outperform ptfe, but I guess that's not necessarily the case?
Thanks.

Rick,

My pre-order is in. I requested (if possible) to get both versions of the V4 -- one extruder all-metal and one extruder PTFE-lined. I'm thinking of doing some fine two-color work. Will these have 0.35 mm nozzles? Can I order additional nozzles (like to set up one with 0.25 mm if I can)?

Thanks for bringing this to reality!
Dale
