Full color? Don't expect that.
Improved feeder? Yes.
Full metal? Nope. Will always jam with PLA. However, the UM2 design isn't the most optimal. And I'm sure a design with teflon that does not wear out can be made. PEEK is the best suggestion ever, as it melts around 300, and deforms even sooner, and if we are designing a new hotend, we might want to account for hotter materials as well.
Improving the bed clips is something we are working on, (even for the current gen of machines)
(Also, Chrii, you can print USB with the UM2. It's just not officially supported due to potential problems. It works, and it will remain working. But it's not a feature that we want to burden our support department with)
