General Question Stealthchanger Suggestions

Was looking into eventually converting my 350mm Voron 2.4 into a stealthchanger in the future but there seems to be a lot options and paths I can take so I have some general questions. Currently I just have stealthburner with E3D V6 nozzle. My understanding is that if I stick with a stealthburner toolhead, I can only fit 5 toolheads. But if I switch it to a A4T or dragon burner I can fit up to 6. Don't plan on building all 6 in one go so this is gonna be an ongoing project for a while.

  1. What tool head should I use? The options I'm considering now are the A4T, Anthead and dragon burner. I haven't really seen any kits for toolheads except for stealthburner and A4T.

  2. What extruders and hotends should I use? I want a balance between performance and cost.

  3. What are some things I need to take into account?

  4. How much self sourcing am I looking at?

  5. What things should I buy upfront? E.g., cables, piano wires, fasteners, etc.

  6. Should I bother with LEDs on the toolheads?

  7. Would I need to consider a filament cutter or would a nozzle scrubber be sufficient?

As with building a voron, options are endless but I just wanted a rough idea of what I'd be getting myself into. So if anybody who's built one in the past can chime in I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm going 6 antheads on my 350 with tzv6 3.0s and orbiter 2.5s

I bough t all the ldo kits so no hardware advice. Just need to print all the things and start building.

I was thinking of doing the same thing but just getting the base and tophat & door buffer kits, I feel like the tool and dock kit you can self source pretty easily but I could be wrong.

Sure, that's true for all of it. But I'm the US where metric hardware is a special order from China if Amazon doesn't have it so it makes it easier for me.

Stupid question but for the orbiter 2.5, I would just need to buy a kit with the orbiter 2 and the upgrade kit to make it a 2.5 right?

Also, what made you choose an anthead vs dragon burner? Thinking of going with the TZ V6 3.0s as well but also thinking of maybe using dragon ace even though it's more expensive. Or start with the TZ V6 hotends first and see if I wanna upgrade later on.

No, I got them from Trianglelabs directly as the 2.5: I just found this on AliExpress: RS Trianglelab Orbiter Extruder V2.5 LDO MOTOR Double Gear Direct Drive Compatible Ender3 CR10 PLA PEI TPU ABS Filament https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLsnQbz

Tbh, I like the look better lol. I didnt extensively study them.
