Hello all, There have been a number of designs and ideas for easily changing between the different tool heads. But not really for the bed itself. Personally I don’t have that much of a problem with switching the tool heads (just 4 screws) but I don’t like to change the bed which is a lot more work…

Ok, short update, Had the base platform cut out today. So this is the result of the “light” version. I didn’t do the cuts along the sides of the board. just the inner pockets. Mostly because the toolhead can’t reach them on all sides and I couldn’t be bothered by turning everything around etc. To…

Good morning. Speaking of being late to the party, I would like to contribute my version to the discussion if I may. I hadn’t seen the forums before I started working on this, so mine is a “clean sheet” design, so-to-speak. As with any engineering challenge, people will tend to gravitate toward c…

[image] Defuselier: Now the various production bases can be fastened to the quick detach base plates, and more can be easily made as needed for custom setups. Total vertical loss is about 15mm, and nothing in the design prevents one from remounting a base with screws if needed. I really like …

I went through a lot of mental “variations” and ideas before settling on this.

Your idea sounds very interesting! can you share the files to give them a try? I do not have the rectangular magnets but do have neodymium round magnets… need to check diameters and other sizes of those magnets but will need the files to match them easier… you mind to share them?

@tom_sanchez there are quick change designs on thingiverse and paid files on Etsy, no idea how well any of them work, but seem quite simple and only ad a few mm to the height of the bed. Will be interest to hear what you end up with.

Yes mate, but still waiting reply from our friend @Defuselier … Mine is a A250 and haven’t been able to find a bed or platform draw for the 250… I am looking to make it by myself! But will see what I can do without compromising height … but also @Defuselier idea seems to be real good!

How can I get the draw or file you have on the pictures of the bed? I need it for a A250
