Well, my camera settings were all messed up and the video I took looks like crap, so I'll have to shoot another one next time. 
So as a consolation, here are a couple of pix of the part. As you can see, the slicer still needs some fine tuning with the extrude and retract lengths, but at least things seem to be more or less in alignment.

Spider breath. Not sure what that smells like, but I'm guessing something akin to molten PLA. Or maybe just stop eating all those spiders? Cool stuff Mark.
Thanks!
Spyderbreath has been my "logo" sense the mid '80s. Only recently have I made a graphic to go with it, the "Fire Breathing Spider".
I did a Demo a few months back to show some new features in the Drawing Workbench of FreeCAD, (automatic Border and Title Block avoidance in drawing templates). The fake brochure below has the Spyderbreath spider on it. Maybe you guys might get a kick out of it.

I'm so impatient to integrate the 2 heads in the main kits !
ok.. first: production and support, but that will come soon . its too good
I'm about to test a cheaper way of 2 heads with a common alu heating block and 2 holes for nozzles. That would let us have one heating cartridge and one thermistor and one fan.. only two extruders. I will post here the results. If it works, that would be very fast integrated in main smartfriendz's kits.
The bad side of this solution is that you need "compatible" filaments, with the same temp. But i noticed most of my prints are at 200-205 , as i produce sets for kits , i can't change the settings for each color. Didn't see problems so far.
What a great work again mark ! this black and green thing is just cool

Cool thanks! I'll ask the missus to keep an eye out for it here in Spain..... If not I'll try what she has to hand ....

Most likely you only use one extruder, and have an extra fan connected instead of extruder2
And Serge also has all of this already documented on his website.
