voron 2.4 - anybody with actual experience
Get started with VORON 3D printer, the best little CoreXY 'space shuttle' you can build in your garden shed, or your kitchen.
Hello,
I was interested in building a high end printer, mostly for the fun of it and learning what goes into it. I've been looking at the Voron and on the page looks really nice; however, I've been unable to find a lot of actual print quality, speed, and capability comparisons.
Does anybody here have experience or recommendations of other high end, self build, printer designs?
I'd be using my customized printer based on the ender 3 max platform.
Really, looking to improve in a few areas:
- proper enclosure and venting so I don't continue to poison myself when printing abs.
- elimination of ringing caused by that heavy bed swinging around at high speed
- ability to ramp up the print speed past 50mm/s
I'd also love the ability to play with multi-matrtial printing, but not high on the list.
Thanks all
You're viewing a single thread.
I dont have experience with vorons, but seen a lot of good examples. Deffo something Id consider if I ever decide to build another printer.
3D printers are slow by default and then if you add dual extruder its even slower. Bigger printer requires bigger cross-section of all HW (frame, rods, etc) and that adds weight and then you have to lower your accelerations. On the other hand, if you build bigger size printer with same components you will have to reduce accelerations due to decreased rigidity.
You want speed? Get smaller printer and dont get multi-material printer (and yeah avoid bed slingers, but 50 mm/s should be doable with any printer). Your printer cant go above 50 mm/s? Get bigger nozzle and print thicker layers and line width (cheap and easy upgrade that speeds up 12h print to 8h). Just my 2c
Thanks. My main speed issue, I think, is the size of the bed. My base unit was an ender 3 max with a 300x300 bed. On a fast print that bed swings with enough energy to actual move the printer.
I say likely is that I haven't attempted to solve the issue yet -- I don't need the speed, I simply enjoy tinkering and this is one are I havent.
Having said that, from the original post, while I want to build one from scratch, I'll probably continue tinkering on my custom printer as well.
I've played with up to a 1.0mm nozzle -- haven't had results yet.
