Tapchanger
A nozzle Z probe + toolchanger for Voron 2.

Features
Off the shelf voron parts, except for bearings.
Uses Dragon Burner toolhead - can fit 6 hotends in 350 frame. Stealthburner and MiniStealthburner are an option
but limited support. (Experimental version of the Rapid Burner is in the works by @Marshalldog)
Uses OptoTap probe sensor for nozzle Z probing.
Same rigidity and probe accuracy as Tap.

Same external printer dimensions, except for top hat.

No servos, no wires on the shuttle, recommended to use with a Canbus toolhead board for less wires, but anything
goes.

Build guide
I would recommend to get a single hotend working first:

Check the BOM.

Print the parts.
Assemble it.

Multiple tools setup:

Install Umbilical.
Install Docks
Add a TopHat
Configure Klipper
Calibrate the offsets. I'm using this

How does this work?

It's essentially an oversized linear rail, that supports only ~4 mm of travel. The steel rail is replaced by bearings riding on
rods.

In addition, it's a kinematic mount, meaning that it's self aligning and there is no play even if the parts are not aligned
precisely.

Other minor DragonBurner changes:

More clearance around the hookon slot.

More room around the cooling fans, to avoid cracking the cowling when tightening the bottom screws.
More sturdy dock.

V3.2
Introduces support for the Experimental Rapid Burner Toolhead by @Marshalldog.

V3.1

End of year update, lots of small printability, clearance, etc updates. This is a stable version.

Migrated to Dragon V8 hotend.

More clearance around the OptoTap sensor.
Tuning of the tension screw angles to minimize the docking resistance.
More clearance for big block hotends.
Hook-on dock is now the recommended for DragonBurner.

V3.0
Further improvements to DragonBurner toolhead and dock. The screw head locking mechanism is back. Configuration
updated, with better dock pathing.

The Dragon Burner toolhead is now the default. Let me know if you would like to see backports.

V2.9
Improved DragonBurner toolhead and dock, adding bottom mounting screws for better stability. Needs the modified
cowling now.

V2.8

Added Tophat and Ubmilical, it's now a Printer!
