Project MedusaHC Part 3 — Inside My DIY Toolchanger's Software
In this video, as promised, I'll dig into the software side of MedusaHC — how the printer always knows its own state, how the macros and scripts actually work, and what happens under the hood during a tool change. It got too big for one part, so the hands-on setup from scratch — slicer config, auto-calibration, and the first print on my DuCR10 — is coming in the next episode.

MGN rails from Magic Dragon- very cheap, the quality isn’t great, but it’s acceptable. Like with all cheap rails, there’s always a bit of a lottery involved.

V-Slot aluminum profiles from Magic Dragon are also some of the cheapest on the market. I haven’t tried them myself yet, but a friend ordered some and was completely satisfied.

Sherpa KIT — I bought this kit with hardened gears. It is cheap, but the quality is acceptable.

3010 fans — for the hotend, a super high-end fan is not required. The main thing is that it is not noisy. I use two types.
More expensive — from Trianglelab

Cheaper — no name
