Voron Tap V2.0, Voron CNC Tap Leveling Sensor for Voron2.4 R2 / Trident 3D Printers, All Metal CNC Machining, Support 5-24V, Only for MGN12 X-Axis, Red

I've had my Voron tap setup using ABS mounts like most people do. I started looking into the metal tap frames and decided on this one, mostly because it looked good. I wasn't sure about the manufacturer, because I hadn't heard of them (I actually had, but didn't realize it), but I was impressed with the quality. It comes all as one piece, instead of the multiple pieces of the ABS tap kits. After mounting my SB and connecting the tap to my MellowFly SB2040, I didn't need to change anything else and it immediately gave me more consistent results than my ABS setup. With no specific tuning I got noticeably better test print results. 100% recommend this and, to the detriment of my wallet, I found that they make a full aluminum parts kit and a carbon fiber gantry kit which I will be buying shortly.

The first one I received had a bad sensor. The replacement has worked well.

It was packaged good. Nice having the rail screws already on with o-rings. I was hoping to leave them on to help with vibration but had to remove them, didn't want to break or tweak anything trying with them on. Other then that it was a smooth installation. Make sure you manually test the end stop before you try homing it for the first time. It does have a blue light that lights up the back of my encloser and turns red when triggered. Still test if nc or no is configured properly for it. Mount for x end stop is a nice touch as well, especially if your running a can bus setup.

Not much to say. The metal housing attached perfectly, but it's inoperable due to a bad sensor.

Overall, the kit parts appear to be well made. However, one significant issue I experienced on the FIRST step was the incorrect bearings provided in the kit, which do not match the build directions. The kit includes 625U Bearings, whereas the drive build directions indicate using F625 Bearings. As a result, there is a mismatch between the provided build directions and the actual materials in the kit.To address this issue, it is crucial to update the assembly manual materials to align with the shipping materials. This update should include revised documentation and diagrams that accurately reflect the kit contents and the correct bearings to use during assembly. Additionally, improving the overall support and documentation would improve the build experience, and offer a smoother and less confusing experience.

With genuine Mitsumi extrusions this fits perfectly and made squaring the printer much faster and easier. I had an older Formbot kit with decent extrusions but not the same quality and LDO and this didn't fit very well (much too tight) It also makes tightening much quicker and easier. I really appreciated it on the LDO build and I pondered replacing the Formbot extrusions with better extrusions to make this squaring easier. For the cost it makes the initial build quicker and easier to get close to perfect. (Then if you are perfectionist you will still mess with it an hour longer :D ) I don't know that Chaoticlab has made anything I didn't like. If you have a little extra to bling out the printer its a good choice but not required if you follow the directions from Voron carefully.

Installed in Voron Printer, followed the documentation exactly and it let out the magic smoke.After inspecting the board and the online schematic, there appears to have been a revision to the electronics that is not documented in the included documentation. Follow the printed pins on the board, not the documentation. Also worth noting, the included adapter plug can easily be plugged in backward.Build quality is excellent, there is no play in the bearings, and the accuracy after replacing the board is excellent. my probe tolerance is 0.00125MM, my stepper accuracy is 0.07MM. The probe is easily more accurate than the microsteps on my printer. I would definitely recommend but understand you might have to replace the board or return it for another.

The media could not be loaded.  I did slightly disassembled it to lube it up the bearings and rail with Mobil Mobilux EP2 in a syringe tube. It has a consistent enough variance for me. I had the Klicky probe before and this is defiantly better and simpler IMO. Adding KAMP Adaptive bed mesh makes the first layers go down perfect every single time. There's also a handy red led on the switch board that's always on until there's a registered tap, then the led switches off. [more on the switch operation later]The one gripe I do have is the the 5v only switch..... I still don't understand the thought process behind this, considering every Voron compatible with tap 2.4/Trident is using mostly 24v stuff on the Stealthburner. The only way to get 5v to the board without running a new wire through the cable chains is to tap in to the RGB's 5v supply wire. I'm using a HeartK Stealthburner quick connect board so I just soldered the wire on the backside of the board...I should mention the switch used is a regular microswitch but in a Normally Closed configuration. so the opposite of a normal switch operation (the button is always depressed down and the circuit is open until it taps the bed, where the button is released and closes the circuit). But that still doesn't explain why its 5V only, considering most microswitches I've seen can take like 400v...EDIT:WOW... I just bought this and 2 weeks later they come out with a V2 version with 24Volt compatible board..... I will buy the V2 Board if ChaoticLabs sold them.
