Current Status
Works fine!
The Right extruder is out of commission until further notice. The Stepper driver appears to have gone bad but the left one is still working fine. The nozzle has been removed because it was dragging on prints and since it did not matter since it does not work. The stepper has been unplugged so that the board recognizes that it is out of commission and will not allow the nozzle to be heated. Make sure you set up your prints to use the left extruder.

Notes
You need to be checked out on the Replicator before you use it! There are melty bits and motors that can crush things.
Printing one thingy with both extruders does not work well. Best to print using only one extruder.
If you need to export STL's from SketchUp, a plugin can be found
here.
