Description
In this video we’re joined by Ankur Verma of 3DUnplugged and the DAKSH toolchanger project. Brought to you by PCBWay. Register at https://jle.vi/pcbway and get a $5 welcome bonus!Starting off by building his (and India's first) Voron 2.4 printer in the pandemic days, Ankur has been involved in exploring multi-material 3D printing over the last few years. His first foray into this exciting and challenging world was the IDEX Switchwire printer with two independent heads in 2022 - the first one to bring Hybrid CoreXY/CoreXZ kinematics into Klipper.Shifting his focus next to the multi-headed tool changer ecosystem, he designed and released the WP-DAKSH V1 Tool Changer with six independent tool heads. It utilized an innovative servo-based locking mechanism along with 3D printed parts to deliver a reliable and fast tool changer experience.The latest release from him, DAKSH V2 Tool Changer, further brings down the tool change time from v1's 9 seconds to an ultra-fast sub-4 seconds, while adding to the reliability and fast printing aspects. DAKSH V2 Tool Changer is also fully mechanical without the need for a servo or motor-based locking mechanism and can be fully assembled using only 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf components, bypassing the need for machined parts.A software engineer by training, he has also been working on incorporating intelligence into the multi-material printing workflow with predictive toolhead management and error detection systems built into the DAKSH Tool Changer.🤫 Get behind the scenes and exclusive content on my Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗👉 3DUnplugged on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ankurv2k8👉 DAKSH 3D Printed Tool Changer: https://github.com/ankurv2k6/daksh-toolchanger-v2👉 Voron India's Discord: https://discord.gg/Sp7APbVPFf🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing📍 Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation📍 My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker📍 My favorite 3D printer right now: https://jle.vi/voronkits | https://jle.vi/bambu (supports 3D Print General, who’s channel was deleted) 📍 My favorite BUDGET 3D printer right now: https://jle.vi/sovol📍 Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/📍 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
