A brief overview of my soon to be open sourced modular automated filament changer.
8-Track is still a WIP and will be published to github publicly when I feel it is ready.

This is potentially one of the best projects I’ve seen in 2024! People want it, people can “make” it, and it will work with many many printer! Legendary!!

Doubtful and I'll eat my words if I'm wrong. Anyone who has been steadily 3d printing daily long enough IS NOT going to deek with cartridges. XYZ3D 😏👉 their cartridge setup and others who emulated them. It was demise aka they killed their own company The CarrotFeeder would be the leading entry level DIY. Next there's a company that's already making a n add-on that comes with a tablet Why does of of this matter 🤔 nobody is loading cartridges that you also have to load. It's twice the work and over complicates the process Take it to the bank. It's neat but this will not get a HUGE following and the reason is simple. People who 3d print daily and have been doing so for years already know the hassle of changing out rolls on the previous dual filament machines This also why we do work on two base colors in 5kg rolls on larger very large machines you get black or white for your prototype part or project and color change boosts the costs/time significantly that most just pay So why would a hobbyist load cartridges that also have to be loaded. It's like you came up with a cool way to make the process more difficult and time consuming Sorry kiddo ... this won't take off and I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong

Very awesome project!

@themagitechie9955 18 күн бұрын

This project is a lot like the cartridges that the really big Stratasys machines use, but with reuse of cartridges in mind and without the exorbitant price tag. I like it. Having an open source easy handling solution for filament rolls sounds like a great idea. probably could add a rewritable and non encrypted NFC tag system to the cartridges for ease of use like the Bambulab AMS but working for any filament type.

Well sir, in 8min and 10sec you have thoroughly convinced me to join the Discord and learn how I can monetarially support this project with more than just a coffee. I have dumped a lot of money in similar projects that were far too overcomplicated and NOWHERE new as well engineered or thought out.

@suzyamerica4679 Ай бұрын

This is wholly rad! :) Edit - figured you had to have at least a filament cutter right on the head, plus the ability to retract filament from that point all the way back to at least the multiplexer if not the cassette itself. Having a number of tubes congregating at the print head would F with the motion characteristics of the head. Means less on very slow printers, but not fast coreXY machines. Sweet project! :)

@av2245 Ай бұрын

Good job! I have 3 large printers, each with 12 cart ERCF that I built I couple of years ago. I immediately implemented a cutter system into the head a redesigned much to the feeding mechanism. I had a similar idea to your concept, to where each filament had its own feeding mechanism, but never got around to it. Once the servo issue is solved, it will make the color changing much more reliable. Glad to see other people solving the same problems! Cant wait to see the final product.

Very nice man! I'd love to set this up on my 350 2.4, or at least use the drive system for the extruder load/unload. I'm gonna be doing a tapchanger that does ATC of the whole toolhead allowing it to change between about 6 colors that rest in their own heads (for mine, it's what I have room for). I'll add your channel here just incase... and the discord. Pretty great to see 😊

Join me today as I go through its development history, current progress and ALL of its Quirks and Features! Looks really intresting! I like how you can print the parts in PLA only and how you promise to make it open source. Can't wait for the release.

@hughman8597 24 күн бұрын

Dear Mr. Turtle,THIS is the smartest idea I have seen in my 3D printing career so far! I have very little money due to illness and this project is definitely realisable for me! If the PCBs aren't too complicated, I can definitely recreate them on stripboard. Otherwise, it's no longer that expensive to have one made. Tip: don't have individual small boards made, but rather a large one with the project on it, for example 5x, with break grooves in between, so it's a little cheaper 😉❗I'm really happy and hope it'll happen soon and after a long time saving money, my K1 finally had arrived 3 weeks ago and will soon be able to print multicolor.❤❤❤❤
