The Box Turtle is an open source multimaterial system for Voron and Klipper 3D Printers. Unlike the enraged rabbit carrot feeder (ercf v2), it's supposed to be easier to build, and hopefully more reliable. Thanks to LDO for providing this box turtle mmu kit, and polymaker for providing the 3d printing filament.

$SnapMaker U1 Factory Tour: HOW Did They Do This?! In this video, I take you inside the factory for the much-anticipated Snapmaker U1 for an exclusive tour. Brought to you by Snapmaker. http://jle.vi/snapmakerU1 לישראלים: https://jle.vi/u1-israel ותשתמשו בקוד קופון TNL40 ***😢 APOLOGIES FOR THE AUDIO QUALITY During some parts of the video. We had a technical issue, mixed with sound cancellation due to echo in the factory. I promise the entire video isnt like that! 😢 *** The Snapmaker U1 has taken the consumer 3D printing world by storm, raising over $17 million on Kickstarter and redefining what’s possible for affordable, multi material printing. But how exactly did they make this happen? How are they building a machine that’s more capable than many dual-extruder printers on the market, yet available at a fraction of the cost? And perhaps the biggest question of all—can Snapmaker really manufacture and deliver thousands of these units before the end of the year? To find out, I flew all the way to Shenzhen, China, to see firsthand how the Snapmaker U1 is designed, produced, and assembled. In this video, you’ll get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the techniques and innovations that made this groundbreaking machine possible. Whether you’re a maker, hobbyist, or just curious about the future of 3D printing technology, this deep dive will show you why the Snapmaker U1 is one of the most exciting printers of the year.
