Description
To take advantage of the quick swap features of the MK4 printers, they need to be pre-assembled with different extruder types and diameters (example: hardened steel, 0.6mm diameter). Then all you have to do is disconnect 2 cables and loosen 2 thumb screws to pull and swap to an alternate extruder. - Quote from BuildX
I grabbed BuildX's great design for the assembled extruder assembly box, and remixed it into a drawer insert to fit the Printer Drawers For Ikea Lack Table by SolidWorksMaker. The result is an insert that fits quite snugly into the drawer.
This drawer insert has six spaces to store your assembled nextruder assemblies ready to install in the printer. Please help me convince my wife I need to order all the blocks, heaters, and thermistors to fill my drawer!
Printing
No special settings are needed for printing. I did ensure I had enough perimeters to make the the clips that hold the nozzle assembly are solid for added strength.
