It is totally the same as a build when you follow the bom lists. Nothing comes prefabbed and there is no cheating. The kit takes the need for self sourcing away, or partially. You are still doing all of the building, wiring and firmware building.

I think I have some low from seasonal disorder or something. I still have not finished my almost totally built voron zero. I did get some metal parts for the toolhead and basically all I need to do is the firmware klipper macros and run it, but I simply cannot find the will for about 3 months...

If the heater is smaller then the bed, is whatever is outside this heater surface on the underside of the expised bed not also meant to be some insulation? I don’t know how well this stuff indulates but it is deffo setting at room temperature while it cures completely with heat. We seal reductor...

650 degrees F, but both are hot enough to burn your fingers so not sure why you feel the need to correct me. But whatever. Cheap as chips so my choice.

Yes my bad. It is 650 degrees F, which is still over 340 degrees C. It is from JB Weld and I think you can buy it from any carparts shop in europe anyway.

Strange, my heaters always came with a 3M highbtemperature sticker. If yours did not I would simply get a high temperature sealant for exhausts. Mine are red and are stable up to 600 degreesC. And they stay flexible, I would not pay through the nose for something that states its specially for...

I had absolutely the exact same experience. The packaging, and marking of each package, was of top level quality. The parts are superb with high detail to finishing. It was a joy re-building my machine with them. Especially the fasteners were really of outstanding quality with pre-applied...

I know excactly what you are talking about, because I got a second hand voron from a guy just like you. Everything was wrong, except the off the shelf parts you can buy. He printed his own parts which were terrible. He built it out of square so bad, you could see it without using an engineer’s...

Not sure what you are trying to tell us here? All four are tightened, which sounds like you tightened them. Then you say “those ones need to be kept loose!”, what do you mean with that? Is this a question perhaps? Ok, my point is that on a large slab of aluminium heated bed, the expansion during...

Yup I can relate to things taking longer. Hope things improve somehow.

Sorry to hear your fingers are letting you down. I had to contend with clise up eyesight problems and it is always horrible. I hope you will find work arounds. Nice project and will be following it. Have you found use for the revo parts already?

Have you tightened one corner of the bed well and left the others looser to let the bed compensate its expansion during heat? Maybe all corners are tight and you need to loosen three or, if three are already looser, you need to tighten them slightly and try again? What do you think about this?

Bit late to the show but here is my short story. I got my machine about a year and a half ago from my father who lost interest. V2.4 350 totally standard. I understood why he lost interest because the original builder had used the wrong wiring inside the cable chains and I had to dig into the...

Very nice, and in time for Christmas 😎

No your assumption is slightly off. It will still have some room to move up and down but it will fix the gantry in a plane onto itself. The flex which that will cause is from the rest of the frame and whatever little is in the gantry itself. No matter how stiff the gantry is, because of the...
