      Pretty cool! I hope you publish your design one day as this would be an interesting setup for three printers down my ideas to build (orthogonal tripteron, or sextupteron). But that's a couple years out optimistically speaking (-:

        Thanks that you like it! Yeah as soon as this version will be finished I'm thinking about publish the files under CC-BY-NC so that the community can use it 🙂

        BTW: I really love your unconventional tripteron design!

          The design is not mine though. That credit goes to Evan Callicoat.

              Hey guys,

              worked a little bit more on the printer.
              I got the first automatic tool change (even if it needs a little more tuning), but it's a first step in the "proof of concept" direction (which I already did with the first prototyp).

                @taconite that's a cool design. Where did you get the tapered metal parts?

                  @fšk thank you 😉
                  I designed the tool so, that it utalizes standard stock material. The tapered part was done by a friend of mine on a standard lathe.

                          @taconite Hey any thoughts about preventing heat-creep after a (hot) tool is placed back on the carousel?

                            @jpomo10 of course ;). There are multiple options:

                            1. set the stand-by temperature so low, that a equilibrium is reached
                              (+ no additional fans, - long heat up time)

                            2. one fan for each tool in parking position
                              (+ sufficient cooling, - lot of fans with lots of noise)

                            3. one bigger fan with a fan-duct to direct the air to the heat sinks of the tools in parking position

                            For now I have no fans at all. So after the first prints I had not a lot of heat creep and no problems with jams. But I guess I will move on with option 3

                            BTW: I posted another video of the first dual color print on youtube

                                Is the tool-changer "carriage" set up as an additional axis? How does it increment along with the Z-axis?

                                    In this small video I print with my go-to 100mm/s-profile

                                    And I just uploaded a video of the change of 4 tools

                                        @jpomo10 Nice to see that others are thinking about options aswell.

                                        To be honest these were my first attempts aswell. The first concept was magnets and the second one permanent-electromagnets after that, but after a lot of testing I decided not to use magnets.

                                          Hello guys,

                                          I went a new way for the cooling of the tools without some parts of the sci fi attack hovercraft.
                                          I added a fan to each tool instead. The data shows that the cooling is sufficient.

                                            so at the moment the printer is 99% finished. Just some minor modifications need to be done.

                                            If there is interest in the community I will put the files on thingiverse and a BOM and some instructions on github - just let me know.
