This is a modification of the RatRig Toolhead for IDEX Cartesian printers using the V-Cast X belt pathing. 

It takes the IDEX back found in EVA 3 and places it in the Ratrig Toolhead. It utilizes the original EVA 3 Belt grabbers for Cartesian style printers. It utilizes the same hardware as the ToolHead otherwise. 

Currently designed for Sherpa Mini/Papilio and Rapido UHF

Warnings: 

  • Untested for both V-Cast and my W-Minion. Waiting on parts to test. Use at your own risk
  • This current toolplate is fit for Sherpa Mini Mounting and any other extruders that use that mounting pattern (Papilio). Orbiter Variation coming soon.
  • Not directly compatible with the tool-plate that comes in the RatRig Toolhead Kit. Is 6.5mm longer to allow for the second belt path 
  • Endstop mounts currently do not have any holes for putting in an endstop. My W-Minion uses fixed location endstops (rather than toolhead mounted) to avoid any potential inaccuracies of Multi-MCU homing. 
  • Currently incompatible with Both Toolboard mounts from RatRig's version. Coming Soon!
  • V-cast users note My minion IDEX has the left head as primary and is the rear most X belt, which is different than the V-Cast. Switching the CAD around is available upon request. Contact me on the RatRig Discord.
