Hi! Does the project support laser engraving or 3d printer heads connection? I found only cnc mill head connection sample.
Hello! As far as I know no one has mounted a laser engraving or a 3D printer nozzle to Thor yet, but it sounds very interesting!
In terms of mechanics, you could design a gripper for the tool you want to mount based on the Art56Interface piece.
As for the electronics, the current control board as a digital PWM output (f.e. to control a laser) and a spare stepper driver that could control the motor of a extruder... So I don't think it would be impossible to achive, but it would be a very dedicated job :)
Just curious, where have you seen that cnc mill head connection example?
Best regards!
Thx for answer :)

I think it's will be grate to use roboarm as universal mechanics with functional heads. For example to making pcb
- textolite panel with photoresist film illuminated by an ultraviolet laser
- with the help of a manipulator it is transferred into a bath with a chemical composition to remove the film
- drilling holes
- pick and place elements
- move to hot plate
- testing
Sounds very cool :)
