{{:blog:2025:03:02:cncvorontapv2.jpg?300|Voron Tap v2 from Chaoticlab}}

i recently [[:blog:2025:01:14:2025-01-14_-_voron_2.4_nozzle-based_z-probe|wrote about Voron Tap project]]. soon after a came across [[https://www.chaoticlab.com/products/cnc-voron-tap|CNC-machined kit from Chaoticlab]]... and decided to go for it. :)

i'm super impressed by how ultra precise this thing is. once calibrated for barely-touching paper sheet at 0.1mm over the bed... it stays exactly like that every single time. no matter the surface -- it's always 100% identical. i've re-quad-gantry-leveled the printer many times, bed-probed it high dozens of times and printed quite a few things with it. it's just borderline perfect.

it's not only an order of magnitude more precise than kilcky probe i've used before, but also much faster! there's a couple of reasons for that, namely:

  * since it's so precise, there's no longer a need to probe 5+ times each point.
  * since nozzle is a probe, there's no need to do extra jogging back-and-forth to attach and detach the probe.

additionally having nozzle as a probe, it means that external z-sensor is not needed anymore. this also means that a much higher print surface is (finally) usable with Voron! :D

from the time perspective i only regret i have not done that upgrade earlier!
