Finally had to chase after Darren and his dual AM8's, so I put one together.

A few upgrades I did to it
Raspberry PI Running Octoprint
Igus Bearings
Dual mosfets
Filament Runout/hang up sensor
Pause Button
Cancel Button
Marlin Firmware
BL-Touch sensor

The frame is plenty sturdy enough to hold it. I'm not thrilled with the design of the holder itself as it's a bit flimsy.

I do have an idea for a new filament holder/out of filament/stuck filament sensor that would kind of incorporate everything and potentially work much better.
