Ah, looks just like a Jubilee tool changer system with a different interconnect. Saw you comments about this being based on E3D's tool changer. Which, is what the Jubilee is as well - it's just they use a remote cable for the locking/unlocking just like you did here.
Hi. Yes, you are right. The locking system is like Jubilee tool changer system, just a little changed. This is the second version of the system I used in my printer. Now the direct tool changer is on the test. I hope I post the video about it soon.
Thank you for sharing!!!....Awesome work!!!!...is exactly what I need for my diy 3d printing TC using duet2 wifi and duex5....Hello Alex would it be possible for you to share your config.json file generated from reprapfirmware configuration tool? for this particular setup...will be so much appreciated...thank you in advance
Hi. I didn't use reprapfirmware configuration tool, I made my config by myself. It is too long to post it here. Try to see it - drive.google.com/file/d/14X3qBhzq1tQ7BBmX_-xvLP3iPZ-8WWXB/view?usp=share_link - this is my last configuration. Unfortunately, now my machine structure was changed, and now I back to servo tool changer and the configuration for the locking system you can see in this video was lost. You can see another video on my chanel with the last structure of my machine - direct drive toolchanger.
@@Alex_Railnolds Thank you so much!!!.... for your time and sharing your file I respect the fact that you didn't use tha reprap tool I think it will be a lot better for me to follow and understand your setup....peace!!!
Спасибо. Разработал сам (ну естественно подглядывал в разные проекты, но полностью все проработал самостоятельно). В серию не планировал пускать. Я просто не считаю что тут настолько все нормально проработано, что годится для серии. К тому же модификация продолжается в данный момент. Сейчас обкатывается версия с директ головами. В описании есть ссылка, где можно подробнее про конструкцию узнать. Если что - спрашивайте.
@@Alex_Railnolds hi Alex you are most welcome I understand this is a project to be build I see some videos on UA-cam that people have to print lost of part and that’s ok for me I already have a printer to print parts for the build What is not clear is does it come with the complete parts besides the ones needed to be print The power supply ,the cards for the drivers ,the complete cables sets,the screen ,the step motors or does it have to be ordered separately like the choice for the extruders I’m looking to order that printer with the direct drive option Have a nice day Stéphane
@@bruce12000 Hi, My printer is not serially produced. I designed and made it by myself. If you want to order the printer with toolchanger, you can find the E3D online shop and order it there. For example, here - e3d-online.com/pages/toolchanger
@@Alex_Railnolds I'm wanting to start a business making signage. Having a second head to switch to for certain sections would be phenomenal. I was thinking of a Mosaic, but this would be WAY better.
Very nice solution, are you selling or GNU Publishing? I would like to put on a HevORT Designed printer. How much of this is E3D Parts and How much is your Design?😀😀😀
Hi. The project is not intended for distribution. I'm not a professional designer and I'm not sure it's worth repeating my mistakes. There are some disadvantages to this method. What specifically interests you?
Hi. No, I have no problems with adhesion. But first Z offset settings for each head should be adjusted and added to the firmware. Also, the auto bed leveling feature can be used, but I have never used it, no reason to do it.
@@btkramer I use Duet2 WiFi board. In generally, the firmware can be configured by G-code commands. Not need to recompile it, just need to change the config file. Very easy and quick.
Hi. I am not finished this project yet. It is still upgrading. Now I am thinking about tool changer with direct drive extruder. In generally, I am not thinking about open source. Because I am not sure that my decisions are correct and optimum, and enough elaborated for distributing to other people. It is just a hobby. Also, you can use the E3D open source materials if you want to make something like this printer.
Hi. Unfortunately, no. I made several upgrades and did not calculate the price. The most cost is the producing of the aluminium parts by CNC milling. The last price for this was about 20 USD for each part. The other components are common used in 3D printers.
@@Alex_Railnolds Thanks for the answer! I've went through other videos and comments and now I see. I'm amused that belts don't rub against each other at the back/twist. Could you post a short with close up at the belts in the back? Thanks in advance.

Hi. Yes, it is a cable driven. The fishing line number 10 is using as a cable. And a stainless steel protection spring tube is using as a cable sheath.
@@Alex_Railnolds can you link me the stainless steel protection spring tube? My problem with the cable driven method was just how expensive those sleeves are

This idea is not mine. Jubilee 3D printer was the first.
Hats off to you; nice project!
Your dedication shows.

How do you keep the tools from vibrating too much ?
The idea of E3D Tool Changer is used in my printer, but upgraded and redesigned by myself. You can find more details by the link in the description.
Is there trouble with the first layer adhesion each time you change tools?

Сам придумал?
Да нет. Просто собрал хорошие идеи из разных проектов и сделал свой :)
Never show this video to bambulab or they will send thier men for you lol lol. So fast material changing in comparing to bambu lab printers.
This idea of multi-color printing is not new. Bambulab has nothing to worry about :)))
