My Delta Toolchanger - Finally printing

@breed
Thanks!
I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to create a tool changer with the smart effector. Ultimately, couldn't really get anywhere. But I'd love to see it. -

@breed I would worry that that magnetic coupling is not enough to keep the smart effector in place during probing -- otherwise a good first iteration. My worries may be unfounded.

@oliof don't think that will be a prob. I'm more worried about the motors skipping steps trying to separate the balls and magnets. They are pretty stout.

The coupling is strong. So strong that I'll likely never build a delta that's not coupled this way again.
On the other hand, it can be as weak as you'd like it to be. Meaning a nozzle knock into the print not causing layer shifts. Definitely something to investigate.@breed said in My Delta Toolchanger - Finally printing:

Yes, this is why I opted for the shear motion to disengage. The other worry about a straight pulling is that the stress is felt on the joints of the parking piece that holds the tool. And if that piece moves in the slightest or deforms over time, your tool changes will fail at some point.

@itslikeboo I figured that's why you were rotating the magnets. Also why I was planning on igus rod ends in case magball ends came loose instead.
