After a year of successful printing with a directly wired Stealthburner/CW2 with Tap on a Voron 2.4, a couple of days ago the mount failed and the whole toolhead fell off. Could easily be fixed, but I might as well use this opportunity to upgrade. It looks like there's been a lot of exciting progress in the past year!
What's the state of the art in Voron in Fall 2024? Checking around, it looks like there are bunch of new technologies and designs happening now: USB toolhead cables, built-in accelerometers, single gear extruders, and eddy current probes. And new designs like Galileo 2, Orbiter 2, XOL, and a bunch of others
Can you recommend a setup that puts the some of the latest innovations together that's buildable now?
What I have figured out so far:
1) It looks like the BTT SB2209 USB (Github docs) toolhead board provides a USB connection with 3 USB ports on the toolhead and an accelerometer.
2) Then the Beacon H can connect via USB at the toolhead. It also has an accelerometer, active thermal compensation, and automatic Z-offset.
3) The SB2209 USB toolhead board has endstop ports for x and y. With the Beacon H handling the z endstop, I can remove all of the wires in the cable chains. Just the USB/power cable from the toolhead to the electronics bay.
3) The Galileo 2 Extruder is single gear.
4) Here's a Galileo 2 mod that fits the SB2209 USB.
5) Here's a Stealthburner mount that fits the Beacon rev H.
If all of that assembles, it should be a sweet setup. Anyone tried it or something similar?
A filament sensor would be nice, such as on the Orbiter 2.
Thoughts on this combination?
