I haven't tried it yet but I ordered a couple of tz v6 v3 for my dual extruder build that has been pending electronics for ages. If they perform well I might get more and put a tool changer on my main printer.
I put an E3D Toolchanger that I got for cheap from Aliexpress on mine, with 2x E3D v6 and Trianglelab TBG-Litle direct drive extruders. The TBG-Lite is amazing. It's got so much grip on the filament, that I didn't even end up setting up a TPU profile at all, I just used a PLA profile for it.
I ended up switching over to a Snapmaker U1 earlier this year, and the only thing I miss are these TBG-Lites.
I tried a Volcano, and because of the long melt zone, I wasn't able to completely tune out the oozing/stringing (on my Bowden at least). I dunno if the newer high flow hotends still have this problem or not (or if they're fine on direct drive); something to consider.
I actually have a Orbiter 2, and think I'm going to try the Volcano again. I still need to print a new toolhead for it.
I have a Dragon SF on my Voron which seems to work well (in a Stealthburner/Clockwork 2). I like that I don't need to use 2 wrenches to change nozzles (unlike a V6) and that it securely attaches to the toolhead with screws (in the Stealthburner).
Im running orbiter 2.5 with a phaetus dragon HF and cht nozzle, very very happy with this Combo.
