T500 TAP Guide for Stock HOT END

Important

All changes ive made are based off previous cfg files using KAMP developed by Trist0ne via https://github.com/Trist0ne/T500-Configuration-Public/tree/main. Please make sure you start with his configurations before you continue or some of this may not work


I am providing instructions for a 3D Printed OptTap V2.4 RC8 or the CHAOTICLAB Voron Tap V2.0. Below I will list the details of Each

OptTap V2.4 RC8

https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Tap/tree/main/OptoTap
  • Cheaper
  • More Assembly
  • 5MM less Y Axis loss over Chaoticlabs
Parts Needed:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSYY24RW
https://www.amazon.com/GBYMIUY-Refrigerator-Magnets-Cylinder-Whiteboard

CHAOTICLAB Voron Tap V2.0

  • Precise Engineering
  • Only 2 Parts to Print
  • Only Requires 4 m3 Heated Inserts
  • Loose 25MM of T Axis Room

Wiring the TAP Sensor

The T500 Stock 4 Pin Probe Connector is as Follows:
  • Brown = 24v
  • Blue = Ground
  • Black = Signal

OptTap V2.4 RC8

Cut your Sensor Wire off or Order new 4 pin connectos Stock Fytec Kit Connections
  • Brown Wire > Red Wire
  • Blue Wire > Black Wire
  • Black Wire > Green Wire

CHAOTICLAB Voron Tap V2.0

Cut your Sensor Wire off or Order new 4 pin connectos
  • Brown Wire > Red Wire
  • Blue Wire > Black Wire
  • Black Wire > Yellow Wire

X EndStop Sensor Move

For this modificaiton, move the X end stop sensor from the back of the X Axis, to the front bottom screw as shown. I used a washer or 2 to help center the tap Adapter extension that will trigger this sensor.

HotEnd Changes

Stepper_y changes

position_endstop: -30 #adjustment for New Offset of Y Axis oddly this brings the hotend to the end of the thermal sheet. You coudl set this to 50 to get to closer to the front of the bed
position_min: -30 #adjustment for New Offset of Y Axis, oddly this brings the hotend to the end of the thermal sheet. You coudl set this to 50 to get to closer to the front of the bed
position_max: 503

probe changes

[probe]
pin:^!PE8  #This was changed from Inital Sensors PE8. We invert the polarity (!) and set pull up (^)
x_offset: 0 #Adjust to 0 as Nozzle is now the sensor
y_offset: 0 #Adjust to 0 as Nozzle is now the sensor
#z_offset: -1.42 #Comment Out and Redo your Z_offset in calibration
speed: 10.0
samples: 3
samples_result: median
sample_retract_dist: 3.0
samples_tolerance: 0.006
samples_tolerance_retries: 10
activate_gcode:
    {% set PROBE_TEMP = 275 %}
    {% set MAX_TEMP = PROBE_TEMP + 5 %}
    {% set ACTUAL_TEMP = printer.extruder.temperature %}
    {% set TARGET_TEMP = printer.extruder.target %}

    {% if TARGET_TEMP > PROBE_TEMP %}
        { action_respond_info('Extruder temperature target of %.1fC is too high, lowering to %.1fC' % (TARGET_TEMP, PROBE_TEMP)) }
        M109 S{ PROBE_TEMP }
    {% else %}
        # Temperature target is already low enough, but nozzle may still be too hot.
        {% if ACTUAL_TEMP > MAX_TEMP %}
            { action_respond_info('Extruder temperature %.1fC is still too high, waiting until below %.1fC' % (ACTUAL_TEMP, MAX_TEMP)) }
            TEMPERATURE_WAIT SENSOR=extruder MAXIMUM={ MAX_TEMP }
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}

MACRO CHANGES

Check Your Positioning on these Macros. Mine for instance has G1 X10 Y490 F6000, Y490 is too MUCH with the new config. These will either be in your Macros.CFG or Printer.CFG
[gcode_macro CANCEL_PRINT]
G1 X10 Y475 F6000
[gcode_macro PAUSE] 
{% set y = params.Y|default(475) %}      #edit to your park position
[gcode_macro PRINT_END]
G1 X10 Y475 ;Present print
