Voron 2.4/Trident tool changer mod inspired by Prusa XL toolchanger.
No customized/homemade metal parts required, 100% off-the-shelf parts without any post-processing/modification, except for 3d-printed parts of course.
This project is based on the following excellent works:
- VORON Design
- Klipper
- Prusa Research for their Prusa XL, that created this toolhead locking mechanism
- Viesturs Zariņš for tapchanger, klipper-toolchanger and nozzle align
- 3DUnplugged for his excellent analysis on Prusa XL's toolchanger, and his DAKSH tool changer V2 design
- diedirk for Sherpa Zero ECAS extruder
- KayosMaker for canboard mount
- chirpy2605 for the DragonBurner toolhead
This mod contains the following 3 parts:
- Toolchanger: toolhead mount and dock
- Piezo bed sensor: piezo based z homing sensor under heatbed
- Nozzle align probe: micro-switch based multi-toolhead alignment tool
Currently this mod is designed around the Dragon Burner. Other toolheads might be used with different mount, however the size constraint needs to be considered. Also there will be no space to install the z proble inside the toolhead, or use Voron Tap for z homing, so a BambuLab P1/X1-like heatbed piezo sensor is used instead.

- Unmodified Dragon Burner, except the mount
- A slightly modified version of Sherpa Zero ECAS extruder, thicker to support cloned BMG gears without grinding the gear shaft

Print most of the parts with the same settings as what Voron recommended.
I print most parts in PETG, except the latch, x carriage frame, dragon burner back plate and piezo probes which are printed in PETG-CF.
Print the latches in 100% infill and Arachne wall generator.
Most of the parts are designed to be printed without support, and some of them have built-in support.
I'll provide recommended print orientation inside each part's readme.
