Probe Basic and Carousel ATC with Geneva and Stepper

Printer is churning them out at the moment, should be able to test if it works over the weekend.

Printer? As in 3D printer?

Yes, I have a Voron v0.1 for small parts (120x120x120) and a Hevort for big parts (450x450x600 volume). Pretty sweet for sensor brackets and that kind of stuff.

Nice, i like the Voron 0 a lot.
I have 5 of Voron 2.4R2 that i built, some with modified Y and Z to use linear rods instead of rails.
If it works out, what are the chances of making the files available?
We already had and DIY ATC here but somehow it went quiet...

I like the Voron as well, especially since it's so small and silent but still pretty fast.
Print quality is very good as well.
The Hevort is a different animal, can go really fast and the bed is positioned on 3 ballscrews with individual steppers, allowing for automatic tilt correction after probing the surface.

It's this one:

But I made the Hevort way too big. I was printing molds at the time, but big 3D prints are a hassle and I now made the CNC for that. A smaller printer is more stable and keeps a better consistent temperature to my experience.

About the files, this ATC is quite a specific design for my router.
It was a tricky design with regard to the work area and clearance so I'm not sure this should be a baseline for anyone.

On a typical mill I think the design would be a bit different, same principle but hanging from the top and therefore most of the dimensions probably will change.

But I can share the geneva wheel and drive and how it's setup with Probe Basic, if it works out, no problem if someone wants it.
Happy to give something back to the community.

yes you want to use the geneva pin for the pocket index so its in the locked position. for homing, you could configure it a few ways, but typically i would use the home switch + the index switch so when homed it will be in the locked position of pocket #1. I was planning on using the same dumb motor step generator so please let me know how it works out for you. here is how my home/index is setup on my little atc build:
