super cool, love the gantry mounted dock, love that it eliminates the z travel time for a tool change, and it seems like it would be easy to effectively remove the system if you're only using one tool
Are you powering the Tool Head via what looks like to be PogoPins in the Carrier? If so, I'd suggest making the change of Powering them via the Umbilical instead as otherwise, you'll not be able to preheat a still stored away Tool Head prior to picking it up while still in the process of storing away the currently attached one thus saving a lot of downtime.
I've noticed you're using contact pins for the Heater/fans/thermistor. Just a few questions. Once it disengages from the system won't it cause an error because the thermistor is not connected? Also, For multi-color/multi-material... Won't this make the hotend fan stop working while the hotend is still hot? Causing Heat creep and possible clogs? Overall looks INSANE. Please update us soon!
the pogo pins are only for the tap sensor, everything else is connected through the canbus umbilical. Therefore, everything on the toolhead works as normal regardless of whether it is dock or not.

Amazing work.

Plus high power levels over a pogo pin is a potential fire hazard. If the connection is not properly made it will start heating and arcing.
well done, can't wait to see the final product
Really great job, I want to test myself

Does the dock interfere with the doors closing?
no, the default doors works just fine.
incredible
Good job.
Is there any plans to support rapid burner and dragon burner?
It is something I am interested in, but I will need to get the rest of the system up and running first.
I’m fucking excited
interesting design but maybe try the aluminium shuttle variants instead of plastic vs aluminium
I wonder if I could use this without a voron tap or is it much better with
The version in this video is out of date. Nevertheless, the latest version will still need voron tap rail. It is required for the probing function
Could I use a klicky probe?
This is cool. Nice.
nice, keep it up
Cool, but why?
I got another project that needs an ABS-capable & multi-material 3d printer.
