LDO BoxTurtle V1.0 (Automated Filament Changer)
BoxTurtle is exactly what it appears to be — an open source AMS style filament changer for Klipper machines. BoxTurtle requires the AFC-Klipper Add-On (found here). The goal of BoxTurtle is to deliver an user experience as close to an AMS as possible in vanilla Klipper. I.e. an “AMS” for any klipperized printer regardless of form factor but VORON Design printers in particular.
LDO BoxTurtle (LBT) is totally based on the BoxTurtle original design, with some added useful extras.
Main features:
- Smooth and powerful LDO high-temperature pancake motors
- Comes with AFC-Lite board (supports both CAN and USB)
- Premium Anodized Extrusions for frame
- Omron D2HW switch for filament sensor
- Pre-crimped cables included
- Filametrix parts included
- Turtle Neck Buffer (TN) parts kit included
- Fasteners and other hardware included
- Expandability: The expandable design allows for highly flexible setups. Multiple units (up to 16) can be connected to allow more spools (up to 64) to meet diverse requirements.
