The perfect package for those who want to choose their own tools or even create their own.
E3D ToolChanger and Motion System is an advanced search platform that allows up to four multi-material/multi-function carts (such as lasers, pick & place tools, extruders, inspection cameras, and anything else you can imagine) to be used during a single job.
Please note that you will need to purchase carts, extruders and PTFE tubing separately:
4 x 1.75 mm interchangeable heads
Bowden PTFE tubing
Hemera 24V extruders (Bowden carts only, Direct tools include extruders)
Motion system
A Fabtotum-inspired CoreXY Motion system provides a fast, precise and robust platform. With no flying motors, no crisscrossing belt paths, and an incredibly light moving mass.
The Motion System is built for high speeds and rapid acceleration. Original Gates Moon motors and 2GT belts ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.
To ensure the high precision of the Motion System, the three main axes are pre-assembled, allowing for a simple assembly experience.
ToolHead
The ToolChanger ToolHead is the central mechanical component of the tool changing system. Bolted directly to the Motion System's X-Carriage, it provides the pickup and delivery action that allows multiple ToolHeads to be used using the standardized E3D ToolChanger Plate.
Electronics
The Duet2 wiring kit provides a well-managed plug & play solution for running the Motion System, ToolChanger ToolHead and up to four V6 Bowden HotEnd tools. Although designed for Duet2's WiFi/Ethernet, it should be generally applicable to any microcontroller capable of controlling four tools.
Note that:
The power supply included with the 400 W ToolChanger is not suitable for use with the E3D Varipower bed, if you plan to use a Varipower bed you will need to obtain another power supply with higher wattage.
