the annoying thing is how long each tool changes take! I've managed to get mine down to 10s min with the wiping. without wiping it takes 3 seconds on mine. might not sound like a ton but over the span of 300-600 tool changes it adds to a ton of added time!
This printer uses Duet2 board with 60mm long Nema17 2A... with less than that you can do the toolchange at 300-600mm/s Ive seen people using 400mm/s speed and 10.000mm/s^2 acceleration in the travel moves with those drivers
Very good design and industry grade tool changer. How ever I have a much cheaper and simple implementation for any amateur user. This cots legs and arms
@@AHackOfAllTrades I was looking for a slicing software for toolchanging that wasn't simplify 3D. Thanks for showing that KISSlicer can do this. I am going to have to play around with this. I have some DFAM research I am scheming for multi-material interface design for conventionally inadmissible polymer systems. I look forward to your work and will definitely being checking out your tutorials.
This looks like Bowden extruders? Is that right? That means you can't use flexible filaments like TPU... Kinda defeats the purpose if you aren't tool-changing a direct-drive extruder, right?
Completely ignoring the awesomeness of the machine, I'm hoping that print isn't going to be a frog squatting on an ice cream cone.... because that's what I'm seeing. :)
