I’ve just about convinced myself that I need a voron trident to replace my current cheap bedslinger. Since I can’t live with the small print area of the 0.2, that one is out of the picture although I was thinking of that first. I like the DIY and open aspect of them, but many of the kits I can get locally seem grossly...
How difficult would it be to increase the build plate size of a 0.2R1 from 120 to something larger like 200mm? I would be OK keeping the 120mm Z-axis print height
I printed all the parts I needed for my 2.4 build on my Monoprice Maker Select Plus (a rebranded Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus), enclosed under a couple of cardboard boxes taped together. The parts were… functional, but not exactly pretty....
I’ve recently assembled a Voron Trident. When trying to home the printer, the stealthburner appears to be getting stuck before hitting the horizontal (x?) end stop. I can push it manually to the switch, but it feels tight. I don’t know if perhaps the belt is loose or if there’s something else I should be looking for....
Klipper started throwing an error and shutting down while trying to heat the extruder. The extruder was cold, which basically meant a heater wire break. Thankfully it was very easy to find. So much for buying a nicer harness. Grumbles aside, I wonder if this wire got pinched when I assembled the chains, which lead to an early...
Working on a wall mount for my NAS to get it out of my basement airspace and into a closet. It’s a tray that the NAS fits fairly snugly in and will screw into an exposed stud....
Build process is 99% complete. I taped on the panels initially using painter’s tape so I could print the skirts and a few mods in ABS. Several mods are already in place, including Nevermore, panel clips, picam mount, Rock-‘n’-roll, and LEDs. I had a TFT50 screen sitting around from a defunct Ender 5 that I swapped with...
The only real change between my last post and this one is getting “the filter” printed, assembled, and running. This doesn’t seem like a print that would be prone to warping, so it’s probably not a great test, but I am trying brimless. I can feel a decent amount of heat coming off the enclosure, so it’s certainly...
Finished everything up assembly-wise. Still lots of tuning to do, but I’d say this first print looks phenomenal for not having done any tuning other than Klicky+calibrate_z
Interestingly I could print smaller ASA parts on my i3 clone with an ultrabase bed unenclosed without much of any warping. Granted, it was leveled way too low… my Voron has a great first layer and no elephants foot, but… it needs to be enclosed for most anything ASA and preheated for moderately large prints. Makes it hard to...
Had a few setbacks since last week, including needing to relube the belts with a more appropriate grease. Also, one of the parts for the clockwork 2 was busted. I can’t print ABS yet since I don’t have an enclosure, so I opted to print the clockwork parts in Fiberlogy PA12+CF15. PA12 is OK according to the Voron print guide...
Also got it belted up, but found out afterwards that I used a grease that is controversial on the rails (superlube with syncolor). It’s recommended by LDO and Nero3D uses it in his video, but many folks on the Voron Discourse say it’s a no-go. I’d rather not risk it, so I’m uninstalling the rails, cleaning/degreasing...
It’s not done yet (need to print a new klicky mount since the one I have seems to be sitting 3-4mm too low, need to mount panels, build the filter, and tune), but it’s printing! After I fixed x-offset print quality is really pretty good with basically stock profiles and zero tuning beyond e-steps....
Well, I made a commitment today. After a couple of years on an Ender 3 Pro which is totally a ship of Theseus now, I’m building a #Voron 2.4 r2. Wish me luck! It was either that or a Switch and some games....
I have a 2.4 in progress right now and of course I still haven’t gotten a raspberry pi 4 yet. I know people have used raspberry pi zeros as a substitute, but I plan to use a webcam (I think I saw somewhere before that it might be too heavy). Does anyone have this setup?...
My first Lemmy post(because I’m done with Reddit too and I want to see this one succeeds) I’m also updating my progress as I go on my blog. The kit and MP themselves have been great so far....
