Lulzbot TAZ 6 Modified Carraige and Mount assembly for mounting BL Touch and other accessories to the X-Axis

thingiverse

I experimented with upgrading the TAZ 6 to use a BLTouch instead of the nozzle for leveling, but I eventually decided it wasn't worth the trouble. User Narosenberg, however, went above and beyond to create a comprehensive guide on how to upgrade the TAZ, which was really impressive. While I have IT-Works 3D Titan Aero heads, which are fantastic, I didn't like the original mount's design because it would lock the print head in place. This made it difficult for me to switch between different nozzle configurations and filament diameters. As someone who frequently swaps heads, this was a major issue. I decided to modify the Original TAZ 6 X-Carraige to include an accessory rail on the left-hand side. Since there's extra clearance on the design of the Taz 6, I was able to get away with this modification. I then modified Narosenberg's mount to include hidden wire routing and to fit this new rail. With this mod, you can mount the BL Touch to the modified carriage rail without interfering with the head mounting. However, be aware that using this mod will likely void your warranty. Additionally, you'll need to modify the version of Marlin or the instructions to account for the changed offset of the BL Touch sensor relative to the head. I ended up reverting back to the out-of-the-box leveling on my TAZ because I also use the dual extruder, and there's still not enough clearance with the BL Touch in place. The dual extruder has a different calibration sequence, which is another can of worms that I didn't feel like tackling. Printed on a Taz 6 using IT Works 3D Titan Aero Pro head with 1.75mm filament.
