Jubilee Kits are live!
-
Hey folks,
At long last, Jubilee kits are now live and available through Filastruder!
If you've ever wanted to explore toolchanging with a hacker-friendly platform that's ripe with customization potential, I hope that kits make Jubilee a fair choice in the bold new frontier of toolchangers. Jubilee is especially ripe to provide you with an ecosystem for designing your own tools, complete with a parametric solution for parking tools and the specs needed to make them fit.
The kit takes everything you need to build the motion system, QCs it, and puts it into a box. That includes all the wiring (pre-crimped and labeled!), and even the assembly tools too (minus the soldering iron for inserts).
In the next couple months we'll try to do the same with tools, but for now, this dramatically streamlines the build.
Jubilee was 3.5 years of my work in grad school, and I'm thrilled that I get to share it with folks this way. Along the way, folks on Discord who built the project from source have battle-tested and improved it over the years. The Jubilee that's kitized today represents the latest-and-greatest as far as what we've learned as a community from playing with it.
Finally, Jubilee simply wouldn't exist without the ecosystem of people who keep it afloat. That's a combination of the machinists making Jubilee's more complicated parts, the printer veterans producing the printed parts, and the vendors who have adopted Jubilee parts along the way to make the project a little easier to source. This kit was a collaboration with many of them; it wouldn't make sense to do it any other way!
In part, through the serendipity of meeting Tony Lock at MRRFs and ERRFs back in 2019, Jubilees have been Duet-powered since pretty-much the start of this adventure. And with all the other things that can go wrong with toolchangers, it's nice to not have to worry about overheating motor drivers or underspec'ed connectors. Duet also made adding the toolchanging feature a breeze. (Far simpler, I admit, than when I was modifying custom firmware on other boards to make it happen.) Thanks a bunch to the crew moving the electrons in the right places at the right times!
Cheers--and happy hacking!

So good news
, thanks for the hard work 
.
The printer is really good, a LOT of possibility in 1 printer.
Discord people are nice and open minded.
I love to print on mine, good print quality, fast speed and toolchanging with so many tools possibility, from the standard V6 to a supervolcano monster or milling, plotting.Folks join us !

@poofjunior Fantastic news, this is a great step forward for tool changing printer accessibility!
Thanks for your kind words about Duets as well, I remember Sanjay introducing us at MRRF, he was excited (as he always was) about the cable driven locking mechanism you had in your pocket
. I hope to catch up at MRFF or ERRF this year! -
Fabolous stuff! I had a look over the documentation, I think it is outstanding! Also the packing slip includes everything incl. the blocks and clamps used to square the frame assembly! And it is even priced reasonably, sure you will have to add the extruders (or other tools).

@poofjunior glad to see it reach this stage! I've been interested in the jubilee concept since I encountered parts on the SeeMeCNC site.
I think my next built will still be a Rostock V5 but I'm going to follow this to see reviews from more people and see how the tool system comes along.

The Wiki needs some updates.
"Currently, the only way to put together Jubilee is to source parts individually from the shopping list and fabricate the printed parts yourself."

Its impressive that you manage to get the project to this stage. Voron started as a kit but logistics was too difficult.

@arnold_r_clark none have reached out to me (or appeared to my knowledge), but I'll be sure to update the wiki and such if one does.
I'll admit that getting everything into kit format was quite some work. Anyone outside the US looking to sell some might find that one way to get started could be a possible collab with the folks at Filastruder.
@zapta thanks for the note! Link is now up-to-date!
