V2.4 Based Tool Changer Questions

[JBryant]

I'm torn between ordering the Prusa XL 5 tool head or building a Voron V2.4 based tool changer (likely stealth changer). I already have a functioning V2.4 Rev C LDO kit and would be adding another printer.

For those that have done a tool changer, are there any parts that would not get used from an LDO kit that would make more sense to just self source the whole build?

I think I'd be using dragon burner with 5 or 6 tool heads on a 350mm build so the extruder parts in an LDO kit definitely wouldn't be used but would be spares for my current setup. The Rev D nitehawk usb board could go to upgrading my current machine as well so it's not a waste there either.

i belive 80 bucks on ali per toolhead, prusa xl way overpriced in comparisien.
tz v6
toolhead board fystect canbus or ebb2209
nema14 and bmg gears
rough estimate

then ofc prints and docks

Keep in mind Prusa's price also comes with support from the company, and they really aren't targeting this crowd for those. With Ali you're on your own & hope with each order the parts you receive are legit good parts.

well true. but i'm guessing if you all ready have a Voron, you hopefully are little tech savy. YMMV
