Toby, can you share the design files for your nozzle changer, please?



Thanks in advance.

Wonderful. Thank you.

The last line in the Readme is:  Put a pillar nearby to carry the vertical force when loading a nozzle tip, to avoid causing the build plate to bend.

I don't understand, and didn't notice one in the video. Can you please elaborate?

This advice is for assembly onto the lumenpnp, and is specific to that
type of machine. The rigidity of the build plate on the lumpnpnp is
lower than typical for a pick and place machine. It is sufficiently
rigid for normal picking and placing loads, but the force of loading a
tip can cause the plate to flex. Opulo mitigated this with their stock
design by recommending super-slow tool changes.

The lumenpnp uses a pillar in the middle of a secondary build plate to
prevent the whole plate drooping in the middle. Search for "build
plate foot" on this page:
https://docs.opulo.io/semi-assembly-4-0/frame

I recommend using the same part directly underneath the toolchanger to
prevent flexing from fast changes.
