Its on!!!! Cant wait to get it set up.
Let us know if you need help. Several of us have multiple Enders and would be glad to help out.

Good deal. When I started I honestly had seen two in my life, one was broken and the other was a dremel at work that I couldn't use it belongs to engineering.
If it hadn't been for @JDowns @Erica-Renee @TheHarold and a few others, I would have quit with the first one instead of owning three now.
I dropped and broke my brand new MP60, I turned to the 3D printer to save the day!

I have been considering getting the pallet 2 for one of the machines so I can do some multi color prints.You can do that on an ender 3 too.

So far about everything i have read about dual color machines is a Headache, It appears the Technology and Software side has not caught up with the Ability to buy the hardware.Early adoption of course helps work out some of the kinks but might cause you to have to repurchase some hardware. If You do so i would love to here about your Experience with dual color printing.
I have printed a few items using the Pause Change the spool then resume.. But this is very limited and can cause flaws in your prints as well ..
Thanks in advance for sharing

That’s awesome!!! Though I question your use of purple, lol!
They replaced my MP60QD housing for free, shipping which was nice.
Dual Extrusion is really not that difficult. Some machines just do it better than others. But it does really open up the doors to expanding your design capabilities, especially for support materials. For a rover project I'm working on, some of these parts would just not be possible without dissolvable materials.

I have the dual color, single nozzle hotend from e3d (forgot the name) for my D-bot but that hasn't run in almost 2 years.
The pallet 2 looks promising. I spent the $350 on a calcium reactor instead.
I didn't bother to contact Ecotech because it was my fault it broke... I'm sure if I did, they wouldn't have hesitated to work something out.
Purple was the first draft, thinking that I would have to do some adjustments to the design, but everything lined up perfectly. Even the plastic tab that locked the motor harness to the frame slid in and lined up perfectly. So no need to reprint another.

That's impressive design skills. I'd have to do it wrong 4 or 5 times
