The V6 is an all-metal hot end design: https://e3d-online.com/v6

Unlike some extruders in which the PTFE tube extends into the hot end.

Dual extrusion head? I see lots of items on Thingiverse (like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:780401 ) that aim to add a second extruder, which I would welcome gladly. Even though I have a MMU on order (who knows when it will get here), I think a second extruder would be much more efficient and less wasteful for the designs I want to use it for. Does the MK3 firmware support a second extruder? If so, how do you access it? Are there instructions for how to hook-up a second extruder? Will doing so void the warranty? Of the many Thingiverse items for this capability, is there a recommended list of which ones are "tried-and-true"?

a 32 bit micro with floating point in the hardware so that the software development...
- can have room to grow
- possibly reduce complexity of the code readability by using floating point numbers (if you want)

or other re-architecture to improve code stability and motion performance.
