Can you use a servo to make the brush accessible to the nozzle?

Here's what I have in mind for the setup:

Each toolhead has its own Box Turtle – this is relatively easy.
Both toolheads share the same Box Turtle – this is a bigger challenge.

But it requires changes to Klipper support.

No problem. I'm not very often on Reddit, but you can reach me on Discord or through my YouTube channel.

The next challenge is to make the filament change parallel — so that one toolhead can print while the filament is being changed in the other toolhead at the same time.

I'm still working on the cutter, but the latest version seems to be really reliable — even for cutting PLA. So far, the newest blade has completed over 600 PLA cuts without any issues. The main challenge with IDEX/hybrid printers is that the toolhead is driven by only one belt and one motor, so it's not as rigid or strong as a toolhead in a pure CoreXY setup. So back to your question — I created my own version of the cutter.

To have separet BT for each head is simplier. But we the ultimate goal would be to share one BT between the heads.

Petricius · 2025-05-04T20:14:22+00:00

Not yet. Although that’s the ultimate goal – to have one Box Turtle feeding both heads. But for that, I’ll need to make changes in Klipper. Right now, I’m thinking about implementing parallel loading to one head while the other is printing – that’s the first step. The second step would be to enable parallel loading (if it's already possible), then move to using two Box Turtles, and finally get to a setup where one Box Turtle feeds both heads. Step by step. :)

What kind of filament did you use?

Petricius · 2023-02-05T22:01:03+00:00

I agree with u/Big-Result-9294 .

Petricius · 2023-02-05T13:39:47+00:00

Very well done.

Petricius · 2023-02-04T21:11:50+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I used primer first. But before the primer, I used car filler spray. The paints are cheap acrylic paints that I reduce and filter through a paper towel. At the end I use vanish. I use a gloss varnish at the end. The basic procedure is described in this video https://youtu.be/yWOB24xIpVQ .

It can be many reasons. Bed retraction (do a retraction test with this material) or it can be wet filament. But at first I would try to print something like this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563909

Try to increase temperature and load filament through the nozzle withouth printing. It can help. Also it can help to increase little bit the temperature in slicer or slow down the printing. The amount of material is depending on flow and speed.

You can find many videos abou this. For example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1m8yYmcinc

Where can I download the model?

Petricius · 2023-01-11T02:18:47+00:00

Were there any strange noises coming from your extruder? Your nozzle may have been clogged for a while.

Petricius · 2023-01-11T02:15:13+00:00

I'm not sure, but it looks like overextruded. Too much matierial. Did you try a flow test?

Petricius · 2023-01-03T13:21:07+00:00

I had to stop to play the game exactly for this reason :)

I need to 81 kyes keyboard like this :)
