Describe your issue:

I am printing actual models now and still doing a bit of tweaking. I’m using TAP and I think it works really good but I realize that for consistent result from gantry leveling and bed mesh the nozzle must be clean. Having done some research it seems that if you use TAP apparently it puts the nozzle too far forward to reach a nozzle brush mounted at the rear of the bed. So, can a nozzle cleaning set up be mounted at the front of the bed and can the nozzle move far enough forward for it to work?

Well, grab your toolhead and move it to the front of the printer. Does it go far enough to reach a brush that’s off the edge of the bed?

Thanks for your response. Easy Idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it. However, I did find that the Chaotic Labs CNC TAP offsets the Y axis by a negligible amount. I have the purge bucket and nozzle cleaner installed and working fine.
