i noticed PRs for the dual extruder have been merged in the last week or so… sounds like they are making progress… i wonder if they will include it with a kit to mount a second spool to the machine and or enclosure…

@scyto watch Snapmaker say we will have to buy new enclosures to make it hold 2 spools

Is there any Update it was ment to be released End of 2021 now we have 2022 and no update ??
@Nuklearfire ive stopped trusting anything Snapmaker says. On the livestream they said it would be released first quarter of 2022, now they are saying end of 2022. I’m done with Snapmaker
Supply issues and other various factors since 2020 have probably delayed the release. Patience is a virtue. 
@Anbro thats not the reason for everything. They took down their roadmap as well, breaking their earlier promise of transparency of what they’re working on. Can’t really blame that one on anything but them, it doesn’t take much time at all just to post what is being worked on and it’s not rocket science
I’m not too upset about delays I just would like to know when it’s available for pre-order as I’m really looking forward to it.
@Artezio there could be a multitude of reasons for not being transparent, as I’m sure you’re aware as been happening in a lot of companies over the last few years. I’m not defending them but I do know that other factors can play a big role in company’s delaying launch dates, etc. Yes I would be interested in a dual extruder if/when it finally comes out and if the price is right.
Lets be honest though, you get a lot of machine with the Snapmaker 2 which would otherwise cost you more if you bought standard 3d printer then forked out on laser and CNC machine.
If you are really that desperate to have a dual extruder and can’t wait for Snapmaker to release one then your only option is to invest in another printer or customise your own. Hats off to you if you take the latter step and achieve it.
As for rocket science, lets not go into physics eh! 
You really don’t want artezio to start going off about all of his printers. He has so many…

I note they have added dual extruder support in latest Luban update Snapmaker Luban Downloads and Updates - Snapmaker Luban - Snapmaker: where creation happens so I guess the module may not be far off form release.
