  • This video covers building TAP, install and configuration ( in this case an MGN9 linear rail ) of the 3d printer along with a few tips and tricks and my final thoughts. This 3d printer is equipped with an mgn9 rail instead of the mgn12 and canbus as well. But the steps will work no matter your setup. There are also some resonance readings to show the impact this mad may have on acceleration. This was done on my Voron 2.4, but could be done on any 3d printer running Klipper.

      @@KapmansBasementWorkshop A lot of the non-Hiwin rails have "fake" grease ports. They have the hole, but it doesnt lead anywhere. Also I decided to pull the trigger on the 2.4r2. I self sourced and built a Switchwire first, because I thought it would be an easier build and get me familiar with the Voron way of doing things. I've picked up a bunch of tricks and tips from watching your vids, so I'm excited to give it a go! The ldo kit I purchased comes with klicky and I've already printed and assembled Nevermore v5 duo, but what mods would you recommend from your experience? Do you think I should skip klicky and go straight to TAP? Thanks again for the great content!

      @@fumanseano2846 Since I actually print from my basement, Nevermore helped a lot gaining acceptance of this from other family members. If you are interested in printing as fast as possible, I would continue with Klicky and add the automatic z-calibration software install (amazing) to that. It works great. If speed isn't your top priority, TAP is nice. I'm actually still using it and like it quite a bit. I find myself constantly tinkering with the printer so I've used magnetic panel clips (there are non-magnetic options as well) on the 2 side panels so I can easily and quickly remove the side panels and get them back on again. Super useful. I don't know what size 2.4 you are building, but I find the 3d printed handles that mount to the top of the printer very helpful on the 350mm model. I don't know if your kit comes with led lighting for the interior, but I consider it mandatory at this stage. Finally, once you have the printer up and running for a while, after some time, if you run into any wire breaks (you may never have that problem), I'm a fan of canbus. But it's not a trivial upgrade. I think the most important advice I can give you is to be careful each step of the way in the build and construct the printer as square and accurate as you can. It's a really well designed 3d printer and actually works pretty fantastic once fully assembled. Just be sure to follow ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/ after you have completed the Voron initial startup instructions. It's the best guide out there to take your print quality to the next level. I wish you a fantastic build!

Added camera to moonraker and fluidd. Works like a charm! I did not change the led’s, because I already have rgwb (4 channel) and the leds that come with it are 3 channel white.

I've been waiting for 3dlabtech to restock their TAP kits but after watching this it has made me rethink the TAP.

    Finished my first Trident last week and installed Klicky PCB with AutoZ and seems solid. I did swap the switch the Klicky PCB came with as it was a plunger style and was giving varying readings. Soldered in a D2F-L switch and lots of times it will read the exact same reading on multiple probes down to the 0.000001. One day I might fool with TAP and see how it's used. Sadly I prefer a Smooth PEI sheet so knowing that now I don't think I can ever really run this.

      Someone in the community reached out and stated that if one chooses to use a much higher quality smooth PEI sheet, they should be ok.

PEI is btw usually typecasted as 'softy' in literature, so a PEI build plate is a risky thing. thanks for the great vid btw! greets

    Great video. Thank you for the help. I just installed mine today and missed a lot of the breaking it in steps.
    * update: I decided to go back to Klicky Probe. I didn't like the TAP. initially it worked ok, but then kept getting an error for triggered before homing/leveling etc. I did the loosen magnets & move printhead up and down but this only seemed to work temporarily. Maybe they should give a bit more clearance before its triggered. Also, out of the blue I got an error Move out of range: 0.000 0.000 5.052 [0.000] and couldn't fix it. Nothing changed in my printer.cfg before I got the error but I couldn't print anything. So I wen back to Klicky. I really like the TAPs X-Carriage more than the stock carriage. I hope they impliment it into the builds.

      I'm actually happy with TAP. I have not switched back to any other probe. But the scrub brush is even more important now. Also, at the temps that the Voron designers recommend, smooth PEI works just fine. I actually lowered the temps by 10 degrees and it still works accurate enough. No dents or scratches in the PEI. My acceleration is not much better, but I'm going to try and clean up a few other things that may be impacting that. This includes using an accelerometer in a different location. There is also a new release of TAP where it appears they worked to improve it's stiffness. So I also need to give that one a try. Thanks for the good question!

Because when printing ABS the enclosure gets to 65 degrees and the sb2040 was shutting down close 100 degrees. With the small fan the mcu never goes beyond 80 degrees.

I have dropped the TAP temperature for the nozzle to 130c and today is the 1st day I'm printing with smooth PEI. Time will tell pretty soon if this is ok. I have not had overheating issues with my EBB36, but I did end up placing 2 small heat sinks on the driver chip (one on each side of the circuit board). But I have seen multiple fan mods. Also, I have the 20mm LDO motor instead of the 17mm. It seems to use much less current.

    Was slightly interested until seeing this video realizing you cannot probe with hot nozzle. So how do you overcome the possibility of probing with some dried plastic on the tip throwing off your results? With klicky this is easily overcome by adding a spring to the Z endstop and a heated nozzle there is enough force to push the plastic to the side before activating the endstop.

      The idea is that 150c is enough to squish the filament when probing so it does not matter. I think its mostly working. But that is why I also modified the print_end macro to clean the nozzle right after the print is complete. My hope is that it stays clean and minimizes the filament that is left on the nozzle. But that's not 100% true. That said, it seems to be accurate.

    Enjoyed the video; thanks! That said, with the TAP mod, it seems like the Voron team has gone full "Rube Goldberg" and designed something that prioritizes mechanical "art" over useful, everyday function. The "just because you can, doesn't mean you should' paradigm. Sure, it's more accurate (on paper) but when we're talking about real world, everyday printing with layers of magnet sheets, adhesive sheets, textured print surfaces and even stepper accuracy - it just doesn't matter. The differences in measuring cold vs. hot introduces magnitudes more inaccuracy than TAP solves.
    Not enough of a difference to make a difference, despite being 'better'.
    I've been using a simple BL Touch arrangement on my Voron for ~9 months now with flawless performance. Which also eliminates the all the Z endstop and probe nonesense, is the same weight as stock (-ish, it's actually a few grams lighter than stock) and provides enough accuracy to not be able to see or tell a difference and doesn't have any temperature restrictions.
    A solution that is elegant in it's simplicity, TAP is NOT.

      I did a couple things to address the potential heat issues. I had never experienced them, but figured with the few reports out there, why not address it anyway. My implementation is pretty simple - just a few alternating layers of aluminum tape and kapton tape to act as a kind of heat shield for the probe pocket.
      As far as pin warping or breakage issues... I've never experienced that. I figure that as long as you get the BLTouch mounted at the correct height and your print settings are dialed in well enough to prevent parts of the print from jumping up and snagging it, I don't think it's really an issue.
