In this video, I cover the Turtleneck, General, and Final assembly of the LDO Box Turtle. There is quite a bit here and this wraps up the assembly. Stay tuned for more content after this on testing and configuration with my Voron 2.4.

*** About the LDO Box Turtle ***
The LDO Box Turtle is an open source automatic filament changing unit (NOT technically or officially an mmu, though I use that term many times in the video "generically") designed to work with Klipper based printers. In this video I go through my thoughts on planning, including how I will be adding this to my Voron 2.4 printer as well as some additional steps.

Soldering information: I use 190C on my soldering iron for all heat inserts. This is a cooler temp, and will require some gentle pressure to insert, but will not "cook" your printed parts.
