I Bought an off the shelf 3D printer and then realised it has many more uses if you can change tools. But that would be time consuming and involved, so I decided to design a quick change Carriage.
This is a base plate which stays fixed to the slide bearings on the X-axis carriage. It has a connector for quick disconnection of cables., and a bracket which accepts quick release clamp so different tools can be mounted, ie single head or multiple head or a paste extruder, or even dremel.
I had a blocked nozzle the quick removal of the entire tool made changing the part so much quicker
