Overview
This video tutorial continues the budget Sovol SV08 toolchanger modification series, focusing on the coupling mechanisms in part 6. Learn about various toolchanger designs before diving into specific refinements including dock improvements, tool head plug reversal, and a rear modular spool holder option. Follow along with the detailed coupling mechanism design, hardware requirements, and SV08-specific modifications needed for implementation. The tutorial provides comprehensive assembly instructions based on the StealthChanger mod originally designed for Voron 2.4 printers. Watch manual testing of the system and get a budget update on this affordable alternative to expensive toolchanging 3D printers like the Prusa XL. While the project is still in development with no parts released yet, this episode represents significant progress toward creating a functional multi-tool 3D printer at a fraction of the cost of commercial options.
