EnragedRabbitProject VS Tridex

Maybe read the docs: https://github.com/EtteGit/EnragedRabbitProject/tree/main/Documentation

EnragedRabbitProject

Personally, I've almost driven myself nuts in getting ClockWork2 to work reliably ever since it was made public but was never satisfied due to it seemingly not coping well with the increased friction coming from my use of an ERCF as part of my System.

For single extruder multi-material like the Prusa MMU, there is the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder: https://github.com/EtteGit/EnragedRabbitProject

I'm not entirely sure on that either. The Enraged Rabbit Carrot feeder seems to have almost all of the AMU's secret sauce (with the exception of the single multispool drive unit on the ERCF vs the AMU's multiple independent ones). In all honesty if Bambu was going down this route I would have preferred they leaned in on their proprietary motor control hardware (h-bridge and in house firmware) vs the industry standard TMC derived controller hardware. I think that the situation of having 20+ of the worlds 26 3d printer companies within the same metro area in a country that has the most loosy goosey state industrial/disaster capitalism model in human history is going to get us (in our corner of the world) in some serious s^$#.

You should print the calibration part here : https://github.com/EtteGit/EnragedRabbitProject/blob/main/Carrot_Feeder/Stls/Tools/Calib_Test.stl

https://github.com/EtteGit/EnragedRabbitProject/blob/no_toolhead_sensor/Documentation/ERCF_Manual.pdf page 116 shows the correct configuration for SuperSlicer. What slicer are you using?

Owning both I'd say there's no reason to be concerned about reliability being an issue - At least not without also incorporating an ERCF into the Mix which may give some frustrations at times ( I highly recommend going with the Happy Hare Software Suite instead of the default one ).

Tridex is a duel Toolhead mod for the Trident (https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex/tree/main/Documentation). Stock BOM is for a 250 bed, but others have made a 300 bed and it's ran fine. Someone is also currently working on a 350 bed with 9mm belts instead of 6mm.

The build is following the TRIDEX design from 'eddietheengineer': https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex, it implements the 'hybrid_corexy' kinematics (supported by klipper), with two separate steppers for the Y axis and two steppers for the X axis of the two extruders. I modded the frame size to fit a 300x300 build plate (the frame is still to small to use the bed fully in IDEX mode). At the moment I'm experimenting with TAP for homing and bed probing....

This project is pretty mature at this point, but again you would be going away from an easy to use kit into "rolling your own" : https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex

Are you using T0 and T1 macros? how does that work? Personally I have an IDEX printer and use THESE macros for everything, they have built in Z offset too, I bet you can use this as inspiration to make your own: https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex/blob/main/Firmware/IDEX_mode.cfg

Check out Eddie's Tridex.

Or you could go this way: https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex

Someone sent me a link to a GitHub page to a Voron trident with IDEX capabilities. It says that it has a 250mm x 250mm build plate, but that would be a little too small for what I'd need it to do. My question is, can you add a bigger build plate onto it? Btw, here is the GitHub page: https://github.com/FrankenVoron/Tridex Thanks!
