Custom Tool Heads

[bray.christopher]

It would be cool if we could model and import custom tool head models into S3D.

This would help detect / prevent collisions during multi-part prints.

My Ultimaker2 has very little clearance near the nozzle (3mmish), but it has tons of clearance else where.

Also the tool head is not symmetric around the nozzle.

I'm not looking for collision detection (that's the next step), but just a way for me to visually check things during the print preview.

This would be pretty neat. I wonder how many printers out there have a 3D model of the toolhead readily available?

I like this idea

I just had a collision on a multi part print. I looked through the print preview several times and failed to realize the collision point because of complex geometry of my print head. I have a Flash Forge Creator Pro which has two print heads so it's asymmetric. A custom STL to model this would be amazing (and have saved my part). Please prioritize this feature request!

I have a Folger Tech FT-5 with a Chimera Hotend. Would be nice to be able to have a Hotend modify on the profile of a stock printer. Meaning if I wanted to have a E3D Titan Aero, I would change JUST the Hotend. Or a E3D V6, I would just change it to that. Or even a Laser.
