WhamBam Mutant – Quick Change tool System

The WhamBam Mutant from WhamBam is a new system that will give your 3D printer the ability to change your hotend on the go. Utilising various mounts, hotends and other tools such as laser cutters, pen plotters, food plungers, ceramic printers, dial gauges and just about anything you think of can be fitted in place of the hotend.

WhamBam Mutant

Development started in mid-2018. In early 2019, James Tongue joined WhamBam and co-developed the MUTANT with Peter Solomon. The WhamBam Mutant has been in beta testing for 5 months as of August 2020 and is production-ready and shipping as of January 2021.

How Mutant

Simplicity really is best when it comes to reinventing the wheel. According to WhamBam’s own site, the steps for fitting the Mutant are as below.

WhamBam Mutant tool changer
Mount and base plate only no hot end.
  • Shut down and unplug the printer
  • Remove your current hotend and mount an Interface Plate or swap out machine X gantry for Wham Bam Universal X Gantry Plate. (see below Mounting the WhamBam Mutant to your machine for the appropriate mount)
  • Mount the MUTANT Fixed Plate to your machine using the 4 included screws.
  • Remember to shut down and unplug the printer. Cut your wire harness one cable at a time and use our handy wire labels and record keeper to label wires and keep track of where they go.
  • Screw wires from the printer into terminal blocks on Fixed Plate.
  • Mount your hotend to the Mobile Plate and screw your wires to terminal blocks on the Mobile Plate.

And you are done! According to Whambam there is no need to change any settings or firmware. Personally, I would say that you may want to set your new Y offset in the slicer or do one of the Y fixes to get the full length out of the new system. This can be done in the slicer program, and some printers can even be modified to move the Y end stop or Y-axis rail to gain the 15mm lost. Michael from Teaching Tech has been beta testing this with WhamBam. In addition, I strongly suggest watching his video:

They currently have plates to fit nearly every Creality and clone machines. BLV Ender 3, Geeetech A10 and A30 series. and Open Builds 3 and 4 wheel V slots, and Prusa i3 style machines.
  2. On the Off chance your bit of kit isn’t listed WhamBam provide the resources to create your own interface plate, use their template (pdf) or 3D files and design the hole positions needed to mount it to your machine, and again use the included heat press inserts to create the 4 threaded mounts for the Mutants Fixed Plate.
  3. Purchase one of our two types of Universal X Gantry Plate Kits. WhamBam offer one for standard V Slot 3 bearing wheel carriages and one for linear rail carriages.

Mounting your hotend or tool to the WhamBam Mutant platform

37-year-old father of 4 seeks.... Oh, wait for wrong profile. Well, the above is true 37-year-old father of 4 boys, happily married for 5 years so not seeking, hehe. I got into 3d printing when a friend of mine showed me his cr10 and the things he was making and I wanted to try it. I read a bit I saved a bit and I brought my first ender 3 pro, fast forward to now I have and Ender 3 2x ender 3 pros and a. Cr10s pro a Cr10S5 and the Creality CP-01 and a wife with lots of. Plastic ornaments from. My. Learnings. I love making functional items to Solve Problems and things for my kids to play with, working as an engineer I often wish I'd stumbled into these years ago. I have recently joined the Inov3d team as a contributing author and now have over 20 articles and reviews under my belt. I look forward to continuing the journey into the world of 3D Printing.
