It will take some time, this is meant to be a build thread. I only started printing the parts today. I can already show a few photos.

Do you have a link for the toolchanger motor?
Builds in progress are the best ones!
I am also interested in the tool changer.
Toolchanger is from Stepcraft
But so far I haven’t had the chance to test it, I’ll have to wait until LR4 is ready. I hope it works as well as I imagine it will

Thanks for the link, the prices seems pretty expensive?
From what I’ve seen, that’s a pretty reasonable price for a tool changer.
I’m probaly just cheap!
Do you find that tool changer and tool changing is a large part of your workflow?
Kress have a quick release version, but these are brushed motors, i kill those a lot with acm. Going the spindle route better and a rapidchange atc

Kress has been AMB for a while. @Tobs_e used one before and I am using one now. They are pretty great. 
None of us have the toolchanger version though.
As i said the quick release version is more manual, but actually faster if you use a collar and a manual bit setter. Price aside im scared to run one of them and have issues with the motor later, i would have to import them to the us then manage to get it shipped to my country and thats kind of a hassle.
link-there is also a 1.4kw one
Maybe i will try one eventually, but fitting them to a LR is not in my set of skills 
Yeah, I’ve got the 1400W ER16 version.
The problem with the tool changer is that you can’t really fix it to the LR since you have the lever to release the tool. I don’t see any way of making that work.
How that works for you? The spindle?
It’s great. You can see it in the Ghostrider thread and on my YouTube channel quite a lot.

Yes but the quick release version would be harder to adapt to a LR

That’s what I said. I’d nearly call it impossible. 
Yes, im looking for a way to do quick changes between tools or broken bits (happens a lot depending on some materials)

Hey, whats your solution for mounting this spindle with the atc adapter to the lr4 core?
I would like to construct a fixture for this in Fusion. The ATC has a diameter of 43mm at the bottom (Euro neck mount, Philipp’s AMB holder could also fit here), the diameter at the top is 54mm.
But it will take some time, I just started printing the parts and don’t have the pipes and XZ plates yet.
