Dollo 3D Printable 3D Printer

Been a while since last update on Dollo builds. Progress has been slow, but there's progress.
For the Dollo rebuild and Dollo.2 I did some cable management, actually had a failed print due to loose cable yanking X-endstop free during print and causing X-axis to stop moving (a safety feature I guess?).
Also for Dollo rebuild I got the frame stabilized; I used parts from the old build as much as possible, creating adapter parts as needed.

For Dollo rebuild, I went bit off the original plan because I was redesigning the extruder I use with Dollo for use with Bondtech gears and the Dollo build was the easiest to test the extruders with. So now the Dollo rebuild has two of these extruders: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3813628, with these to add more torque: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3091980.
Since I'm using only one hotend, I use this 4x-feeder part: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3807101. As the Sbase-board only supports 2 extruders, I can only print with two colors. Filament changes are handled with this post-processing tool: https://github.com/spegelius/filaswitch
The setup seems to work reliably. I'll eventually move the extruders (4 in total) to my Tronxy X5S once I get it updated to 24V.

If you are new to 3D printing this is not yet a good place to start. I am still working on the documentation and will be making assumably videos in the future. If you already have an idea of how 3D printing works then just know to use the most up to date files on the github repo and do you best. Use the pictures to guide you! yes it is a cube shape. shareit apk
