E3D Tool Changer CAD Files
​
So you're looking for the CAD download files...... Well good luck..... E3D is perfecting their corexy printer design and hasn't released anything yet. Well thanks to the clever engineering detectives that make up the Reprap community reverse engineering can be done with ease. Makers have been developing tool changing techniques way before E3D changed the game with their new machine motion system and the concept has been presented in many ways. You may not be able to get the genuine E3D Tool Changing files but you can get the files to many inspired designs which is pretty much a clone of the original system. The best one that I have seen is by a Thingiverse User: TPRA.

Summary
Toolchanging 3d printer, similar design to e3d's.
First tests here :

Still work in progress :
-
there will be modifications to the design ;
-
this is NOT a "order, receive, mount and play" machine, keep it in mind if you decide to build it.
I'm releasing this now even if not definitive because people asked for it, but it's still a prototype.
I'll keep posting updates when i will do some.
Feel free to ask any details in the comments, i know there's not that much informations about the BOM in my files.
