I started my 3D printer upgrade series with the quick tool change which is still one of my coolest upgrades. However, it missed something because if you change to a different tool, you always have to place the hot end somewhere. With the swappable hot end it is possible to disconnect the whole hot end like the Ultimaker printers. Another advantage of this, besides being able to disconnect your hot end, is that you can use different hot ends for different materials or nozzle diameters. If you use a laser engraver, you don't have to add an extra wire or switches to your control board and you can just connect it directly. More about that in my upcoming videos!

If you don't want to get through all of this trouble and risking breaking down your machine, but you want this upgrade: I am thinking of selling a set on my website if enough people want this. This set will be included with the cable which can be connected to the control box so you don't have to cut anything. Let me know if you are interested by leaving a comment!
