This is potentially one of the best projects I’ve seen in 2024! People want it, people can “make” it, and it will work with many many printer! Legendary!!
Doubtful and I'll eat my words if I'm wrong.
Anyone who has been steadily 3d printing daily long enough IS NOT going to deek with cartridges.
XYZ3D 😏👉 their cartridge setup and others who emulated them. It was demise aka they killed their own company
The CarrotFeeder would be the leading entry level DIY. Next there's a company that's already making a n add-on that comes with a tablet
Why does of of this matter 🤔 nobody is loading cartridges that you also have to load. It's twice the work and over complicates the process
Take it to the bank. It's neat but this will not get a HUGE following and the reason is simple. People who 3d print daily and have been doing so for years already know the hassle of changing out rolls on the previous dual filament machines
This also why we do work on two base colors in 5kg rolls on larger very large machines you get black or white for your prototype part or project and color change boosts the costs/time significantly that most just pay
So why would a hobbyist load cartridges that also have to be loaded. It's like you came up with a cool way to make the process more difficult and time consuming
Sorry kiddo ... this won't take off and I'll eat my hat if I'm wrong
Now craigslist 3dprinter 300% over price
Very awesome project!
This project is a lot like the cartridges that the really big Stratasys machines use, but with reuse of cartridges in mind and without the exorbitant price tag. I like it. Having an open source easy handling solution for filament rolls sounds like a great idea. probably could add a rewritable and non encrypted NFC tag system to the cartridges for ease of use like the Bambulab AMS but working for any filament type.
Well sir, in 8min and 10sec you have thoroughly convinced me to join the Discord and learn how I can monetarially support this project with more than just a coffee. I have dumped a lot of money in similar projects that were far too overcomplicated and NOWHERE new as well engineered or thought out.
0:40 Powered dry box, each modular hot swappable cassette has its own extruder!?! Shut up and take my money!
Seriously, other projects should take note, this is an awesome idea
Thank you!
Paint me very, _very_ interested on this approach to multi-colors/materials. It looks like a real commercial product!
We will see where things go, I just want everyone to access to something that isnt just a bambu clone for multi color printing.
This 8 track AMS with Hue Forge may be something nice.
That cat print is very impressive
Yo, sign me up for Alpha! Nothing else quite excites me like this project does. Multi color and multi material printing is next level!
Thanks for watching, make sure you are a member of the Armored Turtle discord if you want a shot at being one of the alpha testers!

This is super cool! Honestly I just want a relatively low cost 2 or 4 filament changer, hopefully this works cause the carrot feeder looks like a pain
I love what you're doing here.
Can't wait to see where it goes.
Great Job!!!!!
I NEED THIS! Wow this is an amazing project. Fantastic work and I cannot wait for this to be released.
This thing is a beast saw it at RMRRF I am excited you did this and thank you for the video on the unit.
WOW, that's just amazing, thank you for all your hard work!
LOL Doug DeMuro at the end there. Looks awesome!!!
Super cool project, hope y'all can get a bow on it without too much trouble!
Thankfully were past most of the trouble now.
Nice work -- looking forward to seeing it come together!
Amazing creativity! Thank you for all your effort.
An awesome project!Thanks for sharing
Nice work! That's a ton of work you put in to get it to this stage.
kitty wants to sit on that warm build plate lol
Insanely well done. So inspiring. Can't wait to check out the filament manafold models.
Well done sir.....Look forward to the final product.
This is just amazing work!
This looks very very promising. Power to you both. I’ll be eagerly waiting for the open source.
Absolutely insanely impressive 👏 🙌
This is wholly rad! :)
Edit - figured you had to have at least a filament cutter right on the head, plus the ability to retract filament from that point all the way back to at least the multiplexer if not the cassette itself. Having a number of tubes congregating at the print head would F with the motion characteristics of the head. Means less on very slow printers, but not fast coreXY machines. Sweet project! :)
This is the one. I'll build this one, when I get around to doing an MMU. You're awesome!
Phenomenal work. Genius! 👍👍😎👍👍
Awesome work this is a great option if u want to quick swap pretty cool project man nice work !
the work in this is awesome, 500 color swaps is a hell of a milestone of success/progress to goal. Watching for sure!
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Idk how i stumbled across this. But man am i happy i did. I doubt i have time to do it myself, when it is ready but its still really cool to see. I hope you have great success dude!
Good job! I have 3 large printers, each with 12 cart ERCF that I built I couple of years ago. I immediately implemented a cutter system into the head a redesigned much to the feeding mechanism. I had a similar idea to your concept, to where each filament had its own feeding mechanism, but never got around to it. Once the servo issue is solved, it will make the color changing much more reliable.
Glad to see other people solving the same problems! Cant wait to see the final product.
Keep it up. It looks great.
Very nice man! I'd love to set this up on my 350 2.4, or at least use the drive system for the extruder load/unload. I'm gonna be doing a tapchanger that does ATC of the whole toolhead allowing it to change between about 6 colors that rest in their own heads (for mine, it's what I have room for).
I'll add your channel here just incase... and the discord. Pretty great to see 😊
This is incredibly impressive. I want to make one already.
Now that looks promising , excellent. Thanks for all the hard work.
Theres so much still to do, thanks for checking it out!
That is bad ass, great job man, would love to slap this on my Creality k1
Congrats!
Very cool project! Definitely keeping my eye on it.
TTTTHHHHISSS is the newly introduced and long awaited 8-track audio player, which promises to bring us both bass AND treble sounds from one compact, quick-swappable cassette unit! Join me today as I go through its development history, current progress and ALL of its Quirks and Features!
Looks really intresting! I like how you can print the parts in PLA only and how you promise to make it open source. Can't wait for the release.
Dear Mr. Turtle,THIS is the smartest idea I have seen in my 3D printing career so far! I have very little money due to illness and this project is definitely realisable for me! If the PCBs aren't too complicated, I can definitely recreate them on stripboard. Otherwise, it's no longer that expensive to have one made. Tip: don't have individual small boards made, but rather a large one with the project on it, for example 5x, with break grooves in between, so it's a little cheaper 😉❗I'm really happy and hope it'll happen soon and after a long time saving money, my K1 finally had arrived 3 weeks ago and will soon be able to print multicolor.❤❤❤❤
Awesome build mate. Just beautiful 👍🇦🇺😊
This is what I have been waiting to get into multimaterial. I will deffinately be following the project
This is awesome!!
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!!!
This looks awesome and if it works with a dragon hot end I will look forward to building it
you sir are a fucking champion... well done... cant wait to make one.
Wow I'm blown away!!!!
Dude, completely random suggestion from the algorithm, super interesting projet. Where’s the mailing list??!
We're just keeping everything in the discord for now, thanks for watching though!
What? How can this guy have just 66 subs with a project of this quality? I will be the 67th of many!
Because i just very recently was convinced to start sharing what i do with 3 printers on YT lol.
Impressive ! I am all in ! Could test it on all my printers !!!!
Great project! Keep it going! I really appreciate the hard work you put into this! :)
I'm fairly new to 3D printing and always love to see projects like this.
Much love!
this looks awesome
Looking forward to building one
Wow , this look very cool! Sorta regretting just buying a P1s now.
oh jeeze. Immediate subscribe. Following your project. I have the need to make
Thats what i did!
Oh wow this is amazing. Sharing with my coworkers and makerspace
WOW!
This is awesome and admireable.
Thamnl you!
Yea I’m going to need this. Would be awesome to build one in the makerspace I’m in
Looks very promising.
Awesomeness 😍😍😍
It looks promising! I've been considering ERCF, but I keep hearing of too many problems. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this one, too.
This is it, this is the MMU I have been waiting for, super excited for this release, have you tried putting it *below* the printer rather than above? or maybe behind?
It can go literally anywhere you want. I wanted on top so thats where i put it. thanks for watching.
Genius!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Chingon compa 8 track its back!
Holy Carp! This is awesome if it works like you're saying.
Scouts honor it does.
So cool!!
I am soo excited 😊😂 I truly am. I have an Ender 5 begging for this
Top work! this looks great, and possibly a contender to replace the ERCF, i'd be interested in doing something in a vertical configuration that would work better in my cabinet mounted above the voron :)
Also, I got the "this" reference
Kudos!!!
Impressive work, but slightly disappointing that you didn’t make the cartridges resemble 8-track tape cartridges. 😂 Well done!
Theres only so much i can do lol
that's awesome 😭
Something i found with tip forming using tradrack, CHT nozzle is amazing. I do a quick retract and that pretty much leaves a nice tip on the filament from the inlet shape of the cht. Just kinda fyi
What is your tip forming routine?
Very cool
Soon ™..... Good work!
Started building an ERCFv2 recently, And what a bloody nightmare of mods to the v1 .... I walked away from it. This looks like a much cleaner system. Gonna watch it.
Nice job bra❤
I'm with you on Discord. But, I really look forward to RUclips updates. Even if it's just a short.
Take my money lol, great work on this.
Great concept and development. Looking forward for it's release. Also yes, none of your printers are safe...😹
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
Very cool, I've been thinking of building something like this for the Sovol SV08 I have on order (there's a competition building on who can do the most mods🤫)
My background is computing/ electronics. I might be able to help you guys out, I love the idea.
You can contact Siboor I bet they are going to be happy to work with you on a kit for this, it would be awesome!
I can't wait to get a proper ams that is diffrent from the ERCF working on my Voron fleet
great thank you
I know that when my Trident had a Dragon ST I was able to get really nice tips, but you're right -- the Revo hasn't performed well at all in that regard.
Have you thought about using silicon heating wires instead of heating block? I'm yet to test them but feels like they could work without a fan, just laid down on the bottom of casette slowly drying the spool above.
very interesting
this is next level, cat printing technology
Very well done! Keep at it. We need not people like yall in the community.
Are your familiar with the 3d chameleon? It's another excellent option
#438 subscriber man. Can’t wait for more
ouff need it
I really look forward to seeing the finished project! Keep up the amazing work! Any ideas on how to slice for all of this? Can it work off of Orca? Or is there a different way?
I think it would be a good idea to sell kits to build this so you can stay open-source buf also make soms money back. I know I'd totally pay for a kit of all the boards, at least!
Assuming the price was reasonable, I would too!
Now I'm wondering how the buffering of the filament is going to work
this is my opinion ..
for bed slinger also may can use this project too soon .. maybe we can build some frame with enclosure . im in project for customize my ender 3 neo , cr10se and a1 combo to put inside the enclosure frame ..
so hopefully later it can be useful for everyone too
definitely gonna yeet my ERCF when this drops
I like you built the Doron Velta!
Working on it at least lol
@@Armored_Turtle-RK let me know if you find something could be made better in the CAD.
Hey! I'm running a DIY delta machine, how hard would it be to implement something like this to it? It's running a DD LDO Orbiter 2.0 with a dragon UHF.
Welp looks like this will be going on my large format idex
