    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    Yes there always comes a point at which you need to decide and it is hard for somebody else to make up your mind. What you are doing is good but you can take it too far. At some point you are comparing apples with pears and trying to decide which is best. At that point it depends on weather you...

    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    I did not pay for the machine itself, it was given to me by my dad who lost interest. I think he paid euro 1400 second hand. Since then I added the following: Chaoticlab cnc aluminium parts full kit orbiter V2 revo micro ( I will lose this one, already bought its replacement) phaetus rapido UHF...

    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    Certainly it is possible to do it on a smaller budget when you buy all the clones from aliexpress, Amazon or Ebay, but you will soon regret it. I strongly advise you to not go the budget route, and I say this with my own 3d printing startup experience with Creality and spares from those sources...

    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    this year the beacon became dual setup also which means you can choose usb or canbus. With regards to the compatibility of the boards to toolheads I cannot help you. I have never been a fan of the standard toolheads on anything, not only Voron, and as of many years I prefer to design my own...

    machine stood for a while

    He has printed several ASA parts since and one lasted 9 hours but it is not gone to its previous supple feel yet. Maybe it needs more time.

    Dear friend, I think you confuse canbus with usb. Your mods list also says nighthawk usb. Did you change something?

    machine stood for a while

    So the machine stood for an extended period of time doing nothing, and now the belts feel like they are having a big difference in resistance during manual moves. there seem to be spots where the resistance suddenly drops to half and then instantly have a small tight spot. I think it is where...

    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    I use the octopus V1.1 and, as you know , it has 8 stepper sockets on it. I use canbus BTT36 and cartographer, which frees up one stepper socket because it now lives on the canbus toolboard. So if you add awd, you have ample free sockets to do this without needing an extension. I don't know what...

    BTT Octopus Pro vs Mellow 64bit FLY Gemini V3

    A bit late perhaps but I would never use anything but the real deal with regards to the raspbery pi. You simply hear too many horror stories about the cheap alternatives. It will be a headache later and personally i hate headaches. Secondly, closed klipper is an absolute nono. If you ever need...

    Voron Logo question

    Sorry for the pplx answer, I did not create it instead of my own opinion or feeling. I could not find any reference to his initial and I was generally interested. Then finding the link to a crow or raven I thought that was equally appealing. You are absolutely right I was lazy and copied what...

    Voron Logo question

    Logo symbolism The crow or raven motif is central to the Voron identity. While my search results do not provide a direct description or image of the logo itself, the name's origin and the consistent use of black in early printer designs suggest that the Voron logo likely features a stylized crow...

    Formbot V0.2 Kit Build - Darth Voron (S/N V0.2633)

    I bought the formbot kit including the printed parts and the dragon HF extruder. Got the machine parts and now waiting for the printed parts and the hotend which were not in stock in europe. I want to fit the aluminium toolplate with a cartographer on it. Do you use any bed sensor system on...

    Question As a last resort....

    It would help a bit to add a fan that is beefier, but the heatsink is tiny and will have a limit you cannot push beyond. That is why I went for overlill rather then struggle with makeshift work arounds 🤣😂 Price is what it is for really good stuff and since I design all my own toolhead stuff...

    Question As a last resort....

    Mayor edit! So I finally experienced heatcreep on the revo micro. After a whole weekend setting everything and its dog to find out why its doing this, it seems the mighty micro has a problem with small layer durations and slowly heat backs up towards the heatsink and finally overwhelmes the...

    Solved Thinking about switching from Revo to a Dragon or Rapido

    With a rapido 2 uhf it is almost impossible to get heat creep I think. And I don’t normally use existing systems, I like designing my own and I keep them really simple as a rule. Too much going on around the hotend and it gets harder to work on and impossible to see what it is doing. I like...
