Orbiter 2 Clockwork 2 Mods?

[BeepDog]

I'm looking to mount my shiny new orbiter2 on a Stealthburner. I have also purchased their filament runout sensor, as it's pretty amazing in theory, so I was gonna give it a shot. I've only been able to find these 3 mods:
- https://github.com/sneakytreesnake/StealthOrbiter
- https://www.teamfdm.com/files/file/485-orbiter-2-clockwork-beta/?tab=details
- https://github.com/elcrni/Voron-Mods/tree/main/Orbiter_2.0_SB_CW2_Enclosed -- Won't work with the filament runout sensor, because it boxes it in. Might also not work with a toolhead PCB.

Does anyone know of any other clockwork2 mounting things?

I think I'm gonna have to get creative with the toolhead PCB, as the lever for the orbiter is on the "wrong" side (I think?)
Anyone out there got any tricks up their sleeves, or other mods they've found?

I was just about to investigate the same thing since my CW2 just failed me. If I find anything useful I will post it here.

I reprinted CW2 in PC and its working great again so no need to change however, I created a Poll on the Voron FB group asking everyone to vote on there favorite extruder.
Here is the link, I just think it is interesting. https://www.facebook.com/groups/voroncorexy/permalink/1605682863193607/

Just noticed this thread. I mounted an orbiter filament sensor on a clockwork2 extruder. Maybe that will help. Here's a link: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/orbiter-filament-sensor-clockwork-2-mod

To follow up on some things, I'm using the one from here: https://github.com/elcrni/Voron-Mods/tree/main/Orbiter_2.0_SB_CW2_Enclosed
It works fine with a single piece toolhead PCB, but there isn't enough room between the extruder and the fan for the two part PCB, as the Orbiter 2 sits forward a bit more than the Clockwork does.

I don't have the filament runout sensor attached, sadly.


It's printing fantastic, however. The prints look great and so does the printer.

There's also a mod for an integrated filament sensor in CW2. I've been using it for a few months and it works perfectly - https://www.printables.com/model/292186-stealthburner-clockwork-2-filament-sensor/comments

Hi I 'm looking to install orbiter 2.0 in SB as well, however, do you come across any mods that support 2-pcs board? I have a SB2040 CAN toolboard installed on CW2 for now. Looking to change into Orbiter 2.0 instead of replacing with Bondtech toothed gear .

I have not found one that works with the two part PCB. The orbiter sits a bit further forward, so it doesn't leave enough space.

How did you get the part cooling fan (the top one) to fit with the Orbiter? I need an additional 2-3mm space for the main body to close nicely against the rear body. But I don't seem to find out how.

Maybe that depends on the vendor of the part cooling fan?

I'm using a GSDTime fan, and it fit just fine.

You could try sanding down the edges of the case a bit to see if it's catching on the stealthburner face, maybe it just needs to scoot in a bit more.

For the whole model, the designer is a "tolerances are for weanies" kind of engineer - with all parts perfect it does indeed fit. Thanks for your suggestion. I'm now tuning.

I'm in the same boat, no way it will fit even with sanding, I need 4-5mm for comfort.

I'm using BTT's EBB SB0000 CAN version 1.0, it's about 3-3.5mm thick allowing for connectors, with another 1mm between the bottom of the board and the top of the fan, almost exactly the space I need.

Also using: Orbiter 2.0 and LayerGuro Parts (as in BeepDog's link)...

A simple solution is to design a replacement board with cutout for the orbiter...

Won't work, lever is in the way...

You asked about the Orbiter 2.0 on a StealthBurner... but rather than modding an existing toolhead into something completely different, have you considered other toolhead options that support the Orbiter natively?

For example, the DragonBurner:

...which I found a while back via the equally interesting Tapchanger project:

//edit: The Xol toolhead would be another option:

I'm going to go out on a limb, but it looks like you can not use StealthBurner with Orbiter 2.0 if you intend to use CAN Bus boards...

Options are:

1. Use StealthBurner, BTT EBB SB000/SB2209/2240, with default supplied motor and clockwork 2 parts...
2. Get a different toolhead such as the Dragon Burner but you may require different CAN Bus boards...

This works with the EBB36 CAN Bus board.

You may need to review the remixes to get more fan clearance. I have built this one and the clearances seem fine.

There is also this one that I haven't tried yet: https://www.printables.com/model/721297-stealthburner-orbiter-20-wfilament-sensor-filametr
