Is that a picture of the head, or of the (one?) extruder-motor widget?
<JordanBrown1>
So the individual head has no motor, and has filament sticking out of it, and as part of docking the bigger head clamps onto that filament?

JordanBrown1 imagine a tube that has a Taille where those gears interlock
<JordanBrown1>
But looking at that picture, it looks like the main head grabs the filament in that cm or so that it's open in the middle of the little head.
<JordanBrown1>
That makes sense. Of course it means some additional mechanism to automatically open and close that clamp.
<J25K97>
it is what the filament path on every extruder looks like .. just to move out
<JordanBrown1>
My extruder has a clamp with a spring and a lever to open it, but doesn't have an electromechanical way to open it.
<JordanBrown1>
(And, mostly, it seems like it doesn't even need what it has... I use that lever approximately never.)
<JordanBrown1>
Anyhow, makes sense, thanks.
<J25K97>
not sure how they solved it but i assume the nozzle is just moving "the lever" when in
<JordanBrown1>
Ah, indeed, it doesn't need to be a separate electromechanical device; it could just be that docking lets the clamp clamp and undocking unclamps it.
