I own a five tool Prusa XL, which is now working pretty well. For many people though, this 3D printer is just too expensive. In this series, we are attempting to take a StealthChanger toolchanger mod intended for the Voron 2.4, and adapt it to the Sovol SV08 Voron clone. In this episode, with the help of the DraftShift team, I struggle through the installation and calibration of the Klipper Toolchanger plugin, adapting it to suit the SV08. Finally, tool changes are happening, along with multi tool prints.

This printer and the additional toolheads were received free of charge from Sovol for the purposes of making this series. Everything else I’ve paid for myself.
