Update: 08/11/17 I added variations that allow for cable chain support
I decided I want to the option to quickly change tooling heads on my X3 and I also wanted to incorporate laser engraving functionality on the printer. These designs allow me to do all of this. Please refer to the video for a tutorial on laser engraving as well as the general setup of the components.
Please note for the wiring setup I have implemented that you do this at your own risk as there is a chance you could melt the connect on at the hot end for the heater element if you are not careful. The wiring setup can be done any number of ways and I give one example in the video. Also, when laser engraving please do so in a well-ventilated area as there are quite a bit of fumes generated and use all precautions such as protective eye wear when dealing with lasers.
Check out the video for more information:https://youtu.be/CWTCqT_LUfs
Also note that due to the Hot end assemblies on the X3, X3S, and X1 being identical it is possible to implement this modification including laser functionality on the X1 and X3S 3D Printer
