Currently it has:
- Voron Tap carriage and z-probe
- StealthBurner toolhead
- Galileo2 extruder
- EBB SB2209 (RP2040) CAN board + umbilical
- Sensorless x/y homing
- Revo Voron hotend
- Klipper/Mainsail on an Rpi with a BTT Octopus v1 in the base, if it matters
We want to switch to:
- XOL carriage
- A4T toolhead
- Wrist Watch Galileo2 extruder
- Cartographer z-probe
- EBB 36 CAN board
- …keep the umbilical, Revo hotend and rpi/oct stuff the same, re-use the G2E hardware to build the WWG2
We’re sick of the Tap but we’re trying to re-use as much hardware as possible to keep costs down. It’s just always a little unclear where problems will pop up… I’ve read that Cartographer should work with the EBB 36 board. The A4T configurator has options for EBB 36 and Revo Voron, so those all seem compatible. The XOL carriage has an option for attaching the cartographer, so that seems alright too. Does everything else seem compatible here?
Secondarily, it’s also a little unclear which .stl files from which repos we should actually print. The A4T has that configurator which helps a lot, but the WWG2 and the XOL carriage don’t, afaik.


Oh geez! That’s definitely ominous… I woulda opted for the Beacon in the first place, but AFAIK it doesn’t do CANbus, right? When did you get your carto? Really hope they ironed out the problems since then!
Idk over a year ago. They released a new firmware but it doesn’t work so they advise using the previous one. Yeah not a great look, but well, lately it’s been behaving.
And no, beacon doesn’t do CANBus, that’s why the next build will also sport a nitehawk, probably on an Anthead.
