The MUTANT Workstation is a fantastic tool for building and maintaining tool heads for MUTANT machines.
The Workstation is crafted in thick anodized aluminum, it has a positionable base reference, a thumbscrew to regulate the height, printed alignment bars, and a rubber non-skid base. It is robust and stays put while you are working on your new tool head.
Mobile Plates slide on from the top and are held securely yet leave the front and back open for complete access to mounting features. The positionable base reference makes it easy to get all of your hot end and tools aligned to the same bottom point for minimal re-leveling between swaps.
Get one to use with any mobile plate set up, or get a few to have different works in progress always set up and ready for action.
It's also a great tool for cleaning out clogs in hot ends while still mounted to the Mobile Plate!
Note: When setting up Mobile Plates we recommend a set distance from the bottom of the Mobile Plate to the bottom of the tool head or nozzle. This is usually over 20mms to clear the bottom roller wheel on3 wheel bearing mounts. We have found the distance of 28mms to be good across the board measurement. Setting a measurement and locking the MUTANT Workstation’s Positionable base reference to a defined position will help you to prepare any new hot end or tool to be aligned with the others easily and quickly.
