The article discusses the development of a 3D printing toolchanging system called Jubilee. The author highlights the challenges they faced in designing a locking mechanism that would work with both E3D's hardened tool plates and printed tool plates made from PLA, which can wear out over time. To address this issue, the author opted for a torque-based locking system instead of a position-based one. This ensures that the tool will lock consistently even as the plastic tool plate wears out. The article also mentions various updates to the Jubilee design, including: * The addition of a wipe tower to prevent nozzle fouling * Updates to the wiring management instructions * A wiring diagram for the entire system * Build videos Overall, the article showcases the author's efforts to create a reliable and efficient toolchanging system that can be used with various types of tool plates.
