Basics

• A Toolchanger for FDM 3D Printers designed by MihaiDesigns
• It is currently in it's second version
• The entire Hotend + Nozzle + Filament Path is removable via a latch and electrical connections via Pogo Pins
• This can be used as a Manual Toolchanger , although the Kinematics are optimized to an extent for the MotorSwap Toolchanger they are also developing.
