I love how there is not any 'good' idea that gets left alone in the 3D printing world. Someone, somewhere, is thinking about "WELL do you REALLY need to do it that way? Every time? like every EVERY time? Nah, there has to be some other way..."
Great project! I still love it the old way, but I am glad that 3d printing community is developing different devices. Waiting for multitoolchanger for Ender 3 though = ))
That back-feed mechanism is slick as heck, it looks like magic, one way bearings kind of are. Does this system currently have any way to 'know' the melting temperatures of the filament being used? Wondering how one would purge from Nylon to PLA, PLA to Nylon, ASA, just things with very dissimilar melting temperatures.
@@Armored_Turtle-RK I probably should have specifically asked if each cassette has a EEPROM IC, preferably something like FRAM for endless rewrites. I certainly understand that sort of functionality has to be plumbed in to get to all the places it needs.. klipper board would have to query cassette to see if temperature range is valid to push an extrude command with that filament for the purge, maybe even involve the klipper host for a macro, etc. So sounds like it's still further along on the possibilities/to-do list, but plausible!
Here's a thought. Do it need to poop on the bed? What if it flipped down some temporary little print surface just for this purpose and disposed of it from there. That way it could purge way above the print surface without sacrificing the space.
It is perfectly possible to have a solution like that. However each printer is different, so you would have to go printer by printer to come up with a solution for them all.
Do you think it'd be possible to have one changer per toolhead for use with Tapchanger on Canbus? Being able to look ahead to pre-load materials on changers or IDEX would be awesome.
I do not totaly understand how you make sure the extruder of the printer and the feeder in the box are in sync. Every little descrepency in effective diameter of the extruder wheels would end up in the filament delivered to slow or to fast to the extruder. Bambulab solves this problem with a "filament buffer" wich realy is more a "feeder sychronicer". A slider and a spring buffer only a few mm, but a magnet inside the slider and a hall-effect-sensor make the printer aware of the position of the slider. So the printer always know if the AMS needs to feed more or less filament and increases/decreases speed of the AMS-feeder accordingly. Anycubics ACE does the same trick, but with one buffer for each filament, so it can work on its own, not depending on a special printer. Did I miss something in your video? For the Revo hotend: On Prusas mk3+MMU2 changing to a Revo actually made the ramping more reliable. On my own printers, the filament tip looks quite nice after unload. However, this only applys to Revo standard-flow nozzles. The tip is quite worse if using high-flow. Did you make your test with Revo standard-flow or Revo high-flow?
my sv08 nozzle just slid out partially at 270c. it fucked my build plate and melted a hole in my bed. I randomly clicked on your video and saw an an sv08 😅
7:38 a question about the filament roll back in spool design, can the spool take back all the filament it receive or input ? because spool diameter and full filament diameter and almost empty filament diameter are quite different, approximately 200mm vs 180mm vs 100mm, which means their arc's length is about the same difference. so when spool receives 200mm long filament , when spool is almost empty, it can only roll and take back 100mm...., and there is 100mm long filament is not roll back on spool, stay loose inside around the spool. I do noticed filament passes two o-ring to roll the spool and the oring's diameter is a bit smaller than the spool roller, which can mitigate above problem in some level.. maybe that's OK I guess? We won't have a ton of filament send back into the spool...just those amount for buffer, usually 100 to 200mm long at most. Also how fast can it take back the filament ? when using buffer it's instantly, but buffer wheel is a bad thing, it takes some force to drag it out through the buffer wheel during the whole print. maybe the ultimate take back filament design is to install stepper motor to roll the spool to take back filament, but that would be super over engineering.
came for the 8 track AMS. stayed for the cat.
Sovol, cat warmer.
That 3d-printed cat is amazingly lifelike!
She's Perfection! One of a Kind!
your cat needs her own hot plate to sleep on, then she will leave your printers alone.
Actually that’s a good idea. I may power up one of my old plates on the floor for him
You are definitely not wrong!!
This is so great to see, it really is in keeping with the spirit of the maker community!

Amazing work! Looking foreward to test it!
Thanks for making! Liked and subbed!
That's really amazing. Good job
pro tip: install a perch (shelf with carpet cover) above the printer. Checkmate cat instincts.
I clicked cause i thought it was about the old music format with a similar name lol 😂
“Soon” 😂 Fantastic work man!
Thank you! It's coming along nicely now.
*cough*2 Y rails on the switchwire*cough* 😅🤣
heated plate = the best cat bed
Great project! I still love it the old way, but I am glad that 3d printing community is developing different devices. Waiting for multitoolchanger for Ender 3 though = ))
The cat is clean at least lol.
Ohh I’m sooo excited to start building this now
nice project and cute cat :)
Hello. good job. However, I have a question. Is the shrinkage of abs already included in the models or do I have to calibrate my shrinkage?
Kitty steals the show. Sorry, was there something about 3D printing?
kick ass!!
AWESOME‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
Fantastic stuff.👍
Thank you
Love this nice design
thank you
Can it run soft TPU? If not, will it be able to run it in the future?
fierce 💯
CAT!
So that's why primarily PLA printers have enclosures...
How you printed a cat? Give stl, pls)
Clearly the Sovol SV08 is the best 3D printer, look at the detail on that printed cat! ^_^
You're doing a great job here mate. Do you think it'd be capable of feeding TPU? i know thats a huge ask. Gaha.
He printed a kitty!!
Get your cat one of reptile mats and some cardboard box. He or she would love it
I need this for my ender 3 pro
Wi-Fi 3D Printer Control via a Cats Whisker Radio :)
Can I get the file for that articulated cat?
She's a One of a KInd! No can do!

There are ways of keeping track of certain information, however enabling stuff like that to happen all comes down to the software.

Yes
Will the canbus version be a self-designed board or just a pogo board with a cheap ebb36/42? Love the Project!
Right now it is using a BTT MMB canbus board. That supports 4 servos and 4 stepper motors so it can control a 4 cassette setup.
That is the current setup. I want to know about the canbus-Version he talks about at 12:55
@@24Tigger24 ah, I think that would be a fully customized board
@@24Tigger24 Yes, it would be a customized board.

Its a free coasting system and allows the cassette to disengage itself.

It is loose on an empty spool, and slightly over driven on a full spool
