Dual Extruder setup possible?
Hi,
I just placed my order for the Prusa i3 MkII and it has not even shipped yet. However, I am really curious if it is possible to upgrade the printer to a dual extrusion system. Is this functionality supported or is there any plan to add it in the future?
Thanks

There are plenty of posts regarding dual extruder and there is the forthcoming upgrade which (it would appear) allows quad extrusion with a single nozzle.

Just bumped into this video online. I wonder if this will allow for support material to be added during printing as you will be restricted to using the same temperature for all the materials.

From the blog:
Materials with vastly different print temperatures cannot be printed at the same time. But this is theoretical as printing ABS and PLA at the same time isn’t a good idea anyways because of vastly different heatbed temperatures. Small temperature changes can be done during printing the smart tower.
