  • using 4x 3mmx14mm steel rods (shelf dowel pins work well) instead of the steel pads
  • for the pins at the top end of the SB plate insert them from the back into the open grooves and push them into place from the bottom with an Allen key smaller than 3mm
  • for the bottom pins they can be pushed directly into place from the bottom of the plate
  • added an optional "Shuttle Keeper" to manage the belts while keeping them the same length as the original Voron Tap mount. This keeper forces us to lose about 5mm of Y-axis.

Looks interesting.

Looks like the rods migth be interfering with the middle bearings?
Also if you can name the cad files differently so that both variants are available?

One request for the shuttle_keeper is add screw down belt locks like the newer Tap has. This should prevent slippage, the fold over tabs end up breaking from the stress of printing. Other than that, this is awesome and the separate shuttle is outstanding for being able to print them better.
