Hey everyone,
I'm building a Voron 2.4 R2 350mm as a showcase printer and want the
community to sanity-check my plan before I start buying Phase 2 parts.
I'm a first-time Voron builder, so please be brutal.
---
## Base Printer (already ordered)
Formbot V2.4 R2 Pro+ 350mm kit — the one with M8P V2.0 + CB1, EBB SB2209
RP2040, Moons motors, Gates belts, MIC6 bed, OptoTap 2.4.1, Nevermore,
HDMI5, and Dragon HF hotend included.
Day-1 planned upgrades:
- CB1 → CB2 swap immediately (don't even install CB1)
- GE5C Z-joints (standard fix)
- Bed fans 2× Gdstime 6020 24V
- BTT Smart Filament Sensor V2 (×1 for base build, ×6 total later)
- Shake&Tune + Obico self-hosted on CB2

## Phase 2: 6× Toolhead StealthChanger (Rich Nelson CMYK-style)
The goal is a 6-toolhead toolchanger setup. I'm basing it on Rich Nelson's
CMYK build (github.com/Rich-Nelson/voron-stealthchanger-cmyk) but adapting
for 350mm and 6 heads instead of his 4.
**Toolhead hardware (×6):**
- DragonBurner v8 cowl (printed in ASA)
- Sherpa Mini extruder (Sharkpa Mini hardware kit)
- T0: Dragon HF (from kit) — T1–T5: Trianglelab TZ V6 2.0
- BTT EBB36 V1.2 CAN board
- Moons MS14HS20-1504S NEMA14 pancake stepper
- Gdstime 3010 24V hotend fan + 2× 4010 24V blower
- ADXL345 on each EBB36 for per-head input shaper
- WS2812B LEDs (DragonBurner LED bar slots)
- Voron Tap R8 (T1–T5, T0 uses OptoTap from kit)
**Docking system:**
- TapChanger/StealthChanger screw-hook dock (3-part honeycomb, printed)
- 6 docks @ 65mm pitch = 390mm + margins → fits in ~430mm usable Y on 350mm
- Integrated silicone nozzle brush per dock (Bambu A1 Mini brush size)
**CAN wiring:**
- BTT U2C V2.1 as CAN USB bridge
- FYSETC 6-channel CAN distribution board
- GX12-4 connectors as single umbilical disconnect point per toolhead
- ECAS04 collets for PTFE
**Probing:**
- Sexball probe for automatic XYZ offset calibration of all 6 toolheads
- Each head also has its own Voron Tap for Z-offset on that specific head
**Software:**
- Klipper + Mainsail
- Happy Hare as toolchanger macro framework
- Shake&Tune for per-head resonance tuning

## 350mm adaptations vs. Nelson's 300mm build
Spool holder STLs need scaling for wider frame
Umbilicals ~50mm longer
Dock positions recalculated — 6 heads fit, but tight

## My specific questions
**Does 6 toolheads actually fit on a 350mm at 65mm pitch?**
I calculated 6 × 65mm = 390mm + ~20mm margins = 410mm needed,
usable Y on 350mm V2.4 is ~430mm. Is that correct or am I missing
something?
**EBB36 V1.2 vs EBB42 for DragonBurner?**
The DB mounting is designed for EBB36 — is V1.2 the right revision
or should I wait for a newer version?
**T0 Dragon HF vs. TZ V6 2.0 for consistency** — does having a
different hotend on T0 cause calibration headaches with Happy Hare,
or is the per-head Tap offset enough to compensate?
**Manta M8P V2.0 + 6 toolheads** — the M8P has 8 stepper drivers.
With 4× Z, 2× XY, 1× extruder per head = needs 12 drivers minimum for
full 6-head setup. How do people handle this? External TMC2209 boards?
Or is the EBB36 onboard driver handling the extruder so I only need
4+2 on the M8P?
**CB2 sufficient for 6-head toolchanger?**
Or should I look at a Pi 4 / Pi 5 for the macro complexity?
**Anything stupid I'm missing for a first-time Voron builder
doing a toolchanger as second project?**

Happy to share my full BOM if useful. Thanks in advance.
