# [ 3dp_hotplug_tools](https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools) ## hot-pluggable 3d printer tools - remixed from ProperPrinting's tools - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3369444 - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3547740 - female connector is built in the base and male connector is built in the tools - **big current flows through VBB (24V for ender3) and extruder heater pins, so 4 pins for each are assigned** - **required voltages can be driven through VBB and GND by using DC-DC converter** ## base - female connector is installed by 15 degree angle <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_base_1.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_base_2.png?raw=true" width="60%"> ## head tool pin connection <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_pinout.png?raw=true" width="70%"> ## 3dp hotend tool <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_pinout_hotend.png?raw=true" width="70%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_hotend_1.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_hotend_2.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_hotend_3.png?raw=true" width="60%"> ## plotter tool - pen is moved up and down by using fan signal to speed up - pen is moved by solenoid and gravity and move up when solenoid is on (=fan is on) - cura plugin for the plotter is [here](https://github.com/PingguSoft/cura_plugin) <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_pinout_plotter.png?raw=true" width="70%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_plotter_1.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_plotter_2.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_plotter_3.png?raw=true" width="60%"> [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooa_5NmSuvM) ## laser tool - laser voltage is controlled by using fan signal for laser module without pwm signal - if laser module has pwm signal, 15A mosfet module is not required <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_pinout_laser.png?raw=true" width="70%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_laser_1.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_laser_2.png?raw=true" width="60%"> <img src="https://github.com/PingguSoft/3dp_hotplug_tools/blob/main/pics/3dp_hotplug_tools_laser_3.png?raw=true" width="60%"> [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72gGR1SVQI4)
