This is a clone of an original MakerBot Replicator with dual extruders, yes it's made out of wood. I've had it for about 12 years and tinkered with it a lot. I started having problems with it and it got set aside for bigger and better printers. I got bored and decided to bring it out again. The biggest challenge has been setting up start gcode. It also can't run standard gcode and instead uses a different format. I'm running octoprint with the GPX plugin. I have never printed using both extruders so my goal is to do that.

You could always swap the controller with a modern one running Marlin.
