hey all! I got a new voron kit! and have been printing parts!!

kit specs:
formbot 2.4 pro+
purple primary colour
glow in the dark green accent
rapido hotend
thinking of getting a diamondback nozzle

#

obligatory printed parts jar

#

I'm early in the process but trust me it'll be great

mortal kestrel
#

oh that's a nice purple! what filament is that?

frozen shuttle
spiral robin
#

Last voron I built was a black frame, esun abs+ grey primary and purple accent. Came out looking great, I like that purple color.

mortal kestrel
#

just be aware that esun abs+ might not hold up so well in modern hot chambers.

spiral robin
#

I know a lot of people had bad things to say about esun abs+ (mostly regarding layer adhesion I think), but I've really had no issues with it, including both Voron 2.4's I've built with it, so 🤷

Ooh another build log from you! I'm looking forward to your colorful commentary

#

I think I have enough parts to start assembly!

#

I should get some more IPA to properly clean the rails and subsequently re grease them

frozen shuttle
#

RECTANGULAR PRISM!!

#

gonna stop here for tonight so I can properly clean and grease the rails

#

not letting the exhaustion set it and ruin my progress

#

should I clean and lube the mini rail for the tap?

#

(I will)

#

Wow that's really quite aestetically pleasing

#

And it even looks cool when it's not glowing

frozen shuttle
#

thank you! I'm really excited for it

frozen shuttle
#

having a hard time printing the larger pieces on my v0

#

I leveled the bed but it's still having severe issues

frozen shuttle
#

v0 issues resolved,I'll resume printing parts tomorrow

frozen shuttle
#

yippee

frozen shuttle
#

another day another part!

THR JAR FILLS ONCE AGAIN

#

gonna make so much progress this weekend

#

I just ordered mine yesterday. I can’t wait to start working on mine. I wanna practice inserting the brass inserts

frozen shuttle
#

if you can, get a dedicated iron tip for it, I find they like to cling to the iron if it's a soldering tip

#

smth like this

spiral robin
# frozen shuttle if you can, get a dedicated iron tip for it, I find they like to cling to the ir...

I have one of those heat insert tips on a leftover soldering iron (one of those "just the iron" without a base thing), but I always misplace that somewhere and usually just end up using a regular-tipped soldering iron (a soldering station that doesn't flee my workbench as easily).
I'm used enough to it that I find it easy enough and it even gives me a bit more control being able to pull it out a bit if it has gone in a little bit too far. Having it stick to the iron means it doesn't fall off when I don't want it too, and I just have to give it a little twist to have it come loose when it is in its proper place.

frozen shuttle
#

also, get squared, idiot

frozen shuttle
#

tomorrow I'll start printing tap parts

What’s going on with the belt in those pics?

#

Heater?

frozen shuttle
#

yeah in the v0's extruder

#

ordered a new one, and a CF TAP

humble nebula
#

Oh damn

frozen shuttle
#

second time it happened too😭

pastel token
#

what's breaking on it?? usually it should last thousands of hours unless its physical damage o.o

frozen shuttle
#

the heater just quit mid print

#

measures open in DC now

spiral robin
#

Heaters seem to often be very fragile, both the dead ones I've taken apart it was a wire that had broken where it entered the "canister".

frozen shuttle
#

i haven't touched it, it literally quit mid print lmaoo

so quick update: the umbilical of the mini printer is still not happy :( new one on the way

frozen shuttle
#

new parts scheduled to be here this week!!!!

frozen shuttle
#

PARTS! ARE! HERE!

frozen shuttle
#

LILYVORON IS FIXED

modest sleet
#

yay!

frozen shuttle
#

parts are gonna be printed soon™

#

I think I'm gonna do the tool head 100% purple

#

or should I do the outer shell w the glow?

split marsh
#

Or, do most parts as purple except the front plate of the CW2 so there's a bit of glow between the rear CW2 plate and the SB cover

#

Glow SB shell would be pretty cool too

#

Or make just the latch glow, as long as it'll be strong enough

spiral robin
#

Have you tested how much this glowy filament lights up with a little bit of uv light on it?

#

I think I agree with cat40, having the whole front face be glowy might be a bit much, but a bit of glow behind/around it could look really neat.

BOARD BOARD BOARD

#

this guy didn't fit so I sliced him

#

and an arm!

wheat copper
#

oooooo! nice board choice!
what filament are you using?

frozen shuttle
#

not abs+, plain abs

#

gonna go for seonsorless, putting this here for my future reference:

humble nebula
#

Why’d you use the manta board?

wheat copper
#

My guess would be...
Solid proven board with lots of options and support (as its been around for a bit)
Cb1 control module so no pi needed and an all on one board configuration
Non integrated steppers for easy upgrade
Price

frozen shuttle
#

that, and it's what I have already, I'm going with a formbot kit but off guide and pre-modding it lmao

frozen shuttle
#

am I dumb or should these match up red to red black to black

#

get wiring managed, idiot

Like they came off the same production line

frozen shuttle
#

it's the Lily way, purple everything

frozen shuttle
#

tryna figure out how to route this can cable, it's far too long and with the light installed I don't have a good way to route the cable

#

current route idea, I don't like it

#

honestly might go with 2 separate power and can line to not have a thick cable, it looks like it's just an xt60 and some DuPont connector jammed into one

#

my bad,xt30

#

I'd have a hard time getting things to be as neat as it is w one cable

lean helm
frozen shuttle
#

I'm indecisive lmao

#

I need to print the pugs to hold the guy

lean helm
#

this filter ?

frozen shuttle
#

yeah

#

that housing

lean helm
#

If you install a cover, I wouldn't install the housing

frozen shuttle
#

how come?

lean helm
#

I've never use it, but it suppose to be a air filtration/exchange thingy. The printed cover will stop any air movement.

frozen shuttle
#

this is the guy I have printed

#

I'll print a solid one

#

ty for advice

lean helm
#

if you want a filter, I would look at nevermore or the filter. It will clean the air and keep the hot air inside you printer.

frozen shuttle
#

appears to also have the USBC cable, i presume that's for easier programming

#

should i go with or without USB?

pseudo peak
#

can use the usb slot to pass through a beacon or cartographer usb cable; atleast that is why I used it for on mine

#

it is a bit of a pain to screw the two halves together though

spiral robin
# frozen shuttle zip tie reveal

They look a lot like the ones I got. I bought a big bag of cheap zipties assorted colours, for some aesthetically pleasing cable management on a few printers (purple and light grey for one I was building for a friend, and blue and radioactive green for my printers). Some of the colours were of some really substandard plastic and would break all the time, but at least the purple one worked just fine.

frozen shuttle
spiral robin
#

I probably wouldn't use them for anything "structural", but for tying up cables you generally don't want things all that tight anyway.
There were some yellow ones that would break even too easily for that, and I just threw those away. The purple and grey ones came out nice though.

frozen shuttle
#

I may add a nozzle cam

#

I think they're really funny

PURPLE PUG!

frozen shuttle
#

oh god why is it nearly 7 hours lmao

frozen shuttle
#

should I shorten this?

spiral robin
#

Looks like you should, yes. The umbilical shouldn't really be longer than it needs too to reach the furthest point (a front corner at z=0) without being too tight. It still often tends to get in the way when you're at high z.

#

If you don't feel like cutting and recrimping the cable you can bunch it up along the back panel or something. It's always good to have a little bit of slack for later adjustment or if you change the layout somehow.

frozen shuttle
#

thank you!

#

I printed the 6mm corner brackets, but they feel too big on the rear panel, even w the foam

#

esp since the exhaust cover seems like it covers less

#

did i print the wrong parts?

frozen shuttle
#

get stiffened, idiot

lean helm
frozen shuttle
#

yooo compliment mechanisms! I love compliment mechanisms!

frozen shuttle
spiral robin
#

I got the same Annex Engineering panel clips, and I love them. Couldn't stand having to deal with unscrewing little screws just to pop a panel off, which happens a lot at the beginning and often enough (for me) later that it gets rather annoying. I was recently made aware the clips for the Voron 2.2 were of a similar design with a printed little key, and I think it actually looks better (not super fond of that "exoskeleton" annex look) but I can't be bothered to reprint them.
https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2/tree/Voron2.2/STLs/VORON2.2/Panel_Mounting/Front_Panel_Quick_Release

#

I went with the 4mm and 6mm annex clips for the "thin" and "thick" foam tape and it seemed to fit just right though may require some adjustment for slightly different thickness panel/tape. It doesn't squeeze them very tightly, just holds it in place enough that it can't rattle about. Also not having them too tight means I can just pop off a couple of them and slide the panel out without having to reach for the clips in the back.

wheat copper
#

Your build is looking epic girl🫶
Keep up the good workcatgoodcat

frozen shuttle
#

thank u!

#

I suspect the PUG will class w the ceiling at the full 300mm :(

#

and it appears that the SB clashes w the front top bar at max height

modest sleet
frozen shuttle
#

purgle!

frozen shuttle
#

also thinking of setting up top hat for the full 300mm

wheat copper
spiral robin
#

I've printed something exactly once on my 300mm 2.4 that was tall enough for the umbilical and ptfe tube to start doing weird things up against the ceiling, and that was PLA so I could just take the panel off.

frozen shuttle
#

I honestly wonder if it could be possible to make a ptfe tube with wires in built to reduce the umbilical thickness even more

#

bc there's like 5 cm between the ptfe tube and the can board and I worry it'll behave funny

spiral robin
#

There was some printer (I think from Artillery, some fairly regular bedslinger) that had a toolhead cable with a ptfe tube in the middle and wires around it and some fancy custom connector for it. Looked nice, but probably impossible to replace once the bowden is worn out.

#

Artillery Hornet was the one.

frozen shuttle
#

hell yeah that's what I want

#

but god damn

spiral robin
#

On mine, the weight of the umbilical makes the whole bundle just tilt fairly neatly to one side, and it works well when the thing is moving around. When it's higher up, it basically just lays flat under the top panel.

frozen shuttle
#

panels are up! I'm just lazy lmao

wheat copper
#

YAY!
cereal when?

frozen shuttle
#

when I get it actually printing lol

#

I need to print more skirts and parts

So close🥰

frozen shuttle
#

first thing I'll print is more skirt pieces

#

I'm lazy but I should do the config writing thing

frozen shuttle
#

wym buddy

#

why too much current

#

who hurt u

#

i think the wiring harnesses are incorrect with this kit, the Z motors are all going down when up is desired, and X and Y just give the short to supply error

#

rEEEEE

#

on the upside, we got life and CAN

lean helm
#

for the Z motors you can probably fix that in the config. Will you share a picture in the dark ?

split marsh
# frozen shuttle wym buddy

That generally means you have some wires swapped on your motor. You can either ohm out your motor to find the coils and look up your board's wiring or you can yolo it and sway the wires and try again (it shouldn't hurt anything)

#

For z just invert the dir pin in the config

frozen shuttle
frozen shuttle

so it seems the coil layout on the headers is correct

#

That's a pretty print bed

#

What material is it?

frozen shuttle
#

some funny textured PEI, supposedly the pattern transfers to the first layer

#

the overhead light amplifies the holographic effect so hard

#

man I'm EXCITED

#

I need another filament dryer

#

xD

#

gonna run a few test prints and print some fun things (holographic door hinges)

lean helm
#

That plate look awesome. A great fit for your build!

#

Will you use the stock skirt ? or one of the honeycomb one ?

#

I really need to get a spool of glow in the dark filament.

frozen shuttle
#

likely stock :) I like the aesthetic

#

the glow filament is exactly what I wanted it to

you didn't print any part of the stealthburner in glow filament, did you run out ?

What nozzle do you have

(not really since I still need to print the nevermore and install it)

#

but this thing is beautiful, rock solid, and 100% mine

I'm superbly happy with it

#

the fans are the loudest part of this lol

brave cypress
# frozen shuttle I like it bc it has a tasty v6 socket

Honestly the nozzles are probably the main reason why I'd change. I think for the most part revo has been okay with flow, though I can see some spots lacking at like 270mms with some ABS I've used.
I will say though, thus far, the revo brass has been holding up quite well even with simi abrasive material

frozen shuttle
#

the whole bs proprietary nozzle is exactly why I'm not on revo

#

I've printed so much abrasive glow abs on this poor machine

brave cypress
# frozen shuttle the whole bs proprietary nozzle is exactly why I'm not on revo

It came with my kit, which is why I have it. But they go on sale frequently enough and price wise, considering the more material, and all that I so far haven't been too angrey about it. Though that being said right now I'm more focused on learning CAD and stuff so that will likely change when I'm printing more frequently
