Not to ask the dumb question, but if your main pain point is tap why not just swap tap for cartographer or even klicky? Klicky, combined with Klipper Z Calibration has been pretty reliable on my build and gives me a very consistent first layer.

That would definitely be less work and money, true… Just reprint the normal StealthBurner carriage I guess? Does that have a mount for eddy probes?

A quick search turned up an “official” CNC mount for cartographer and stealth burner. There are also instructions covering another mount, but I didn’t spend much time looking at them.
If you’re comfortable with CAD it shouldn’t be hard to model a mount that uses the klicky attachment points on the stock SB carriage. I found an existing model that looks like it does exactly this.

That CNC option is looking very appealing. Particularly considering that the TAP carriage isn’t all that different from the stock SB one and I hate it lol

It does, I have a carto on stealthburner, you have to reprint the carriage, another option is to use carto’s CNC carriage, which I’ve heard is good.
I’m not super happy with the carto to be honest, I originally had many problems and destroyed 2 expensive printing plates. Seems to have stabilized now, but I’ve bought a beacon for my next build.

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.
