I mean if Robo3D can have one why can&#8217;t the Pegasus have one?) \u25cf Costs for than FT-5 \u25cf Not a whole lot of mods out there for the Pegasus in comparison to the FT-5In all as of right now I am leaning towards an FT-5 because I am within budget of the printer and I&#8217;ll also slap a Titan and Volcano on it as well (also side question how does the Volcano fair out with flexible filaments because I have a roll of Ninjaflex that still needs printing) but I&#8217;m open to changing my mind.
