Metal Toolhead Carriage for Micron & Salad Fork by HoneyBadger

CoreXY and high-speed 3D printer builders using the Micron and Salad Fork toolheads often face the challenge of balancing toolhead stiffness with print speed — a flexible or heavy carriage can cause ringing and reduce input shaper effectiveness, leading to visible print artifacts.

The Metal Toolhead Carriage by HoneyBadger for Micron & Salad Fork is engineered from lightweight 6061 aluminum to provide superior rigidity without the typical speed penalty of metal parts. Compatible with both 9H and 9C rails, this carriage enhances motion stability and input shaper results for printers like the Voron Micron 160/180 and Salad Fork 160/180. Its two-tone finish and precision machining make it a durable upgrade for CoreXY builds seeking improved print quality at high speeds.

Why Upgrade?

• Improves toolhead stiffness to reduce ringing and ghosting on high-speed CoreXY printers like Micron and Salad Fork
• Maintains lightweight design to avoid speed penalties common with metal carriages
• Compatible with both 9H and 9C rails for versatile mounting options
• Enhances input shaper performance for cleaner, more precise prints
• Durable aluminum construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding print environments

Best For:
