<p>I use Prusa i3 with one extruder for some years and I would like to print from one material in two colors or from different materials for one model. Therefore I'm lookig for new printer with dual extruder.</p>

<p>Is there some way how to measure and/or compare quality of printers with dual extruder on the market?</p>

<p>For example to create 3d model - ask the seller(s) to print it - and then compare? - what details to focus on?</p>
