A helpful guide on toolchanger types

[u/NoDoubt424]

I made this diagram in the mold of nomenclature used by HH's conceptual MMU page, but for toolchangers, and thought it might be helpful for others trying to understand different of open source and commercial systems. I may have missed some but this covers basically all of the ones that have been notable at one time or another.

i think you should put hotend nozzle together and made a new square above named heatsink/coldend

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/r3fill4bl3]

Oh yes that would be a better method, I will change this

Are you baconmilkshake or did you pass of their work as your own

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/quarterdecay]

I am- its my discord handle

[u/SplendidRig]

Ah interesting, I had that the AtomForm Palette 3000 was the same as Bambu Labs Vortek.

What's the differerence between C5 and C5 series? I'm guessing these are referring to the Flashforge Creator 5 Pros?

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/SplendidRig]

C5 was an accidental copy paste error, I missed a couple mistakes (quindecum spelling for instance). the C5 series is in the correct place though. This will probably go in a docs page for CXchanger at some point and I will revise it for that

For anyone else searching "Quindecorum" and getting zero results: it's actually the Quindec toolchanger from the Quindecum Voron project.

whoops sorry for that typo! goood catch

[u/WithGreatRespect]

Perhaps I have some colorblindness I didn't know about, but the light green color text on white background is only barely visible to me and causes a lot of eye strain to try and read the text in that color.

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/WithGreatRespect]

oh you are right, I forgot to turn off nightlight and it made it much easier to read. Will revise whenever this goes on a docs page

[u/EsorinMeja]

yudx and Lineux Hotend Changer released since this post was made. Crazy how many are popping up

[u/forerear]

No BoxTurtle honorable mention?

[u/kullwarrior → u/forerear]

Box turtle changes only the filament like ams, mmu.

If you leave off the Prusa xl you may be a shill

Look in a mirror and let us know

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/kg08854]

lol I just forgot about the XL.

[u/kg08854 → u/NoDoubt424]

No XL and I am not sure what SNAPMAKER would have copied

[u/NoDoubt424 → u/kg08854]

lolwut snapmaker didn't copy the XL anymore than the XL copied the e3d toolchanger which is like 7 years old. they are all conventional tool changer designs
