I’m still loving the Snapmaker U1 toolchanger. With the factory enclosure still not available, I decided to test two community designs, each with a different approach and consequently varying strengths and weaknesses. In this video, I show you how to print, assemble and fit each one, and finish by testing how well they retain heat for ASA printing.
The strange thumbnail was a Patreon request.
