The manual and official documentation all suggest using grub screws with Loctite 222 to secure your pulleys on the various D-shafts for motors and Z drives and whatnot. Not sure how Loctite 641 made it into the sourcing guide, but I personally use it to mount the pulleys on the motor shafts for...

Building a Voron is sort of a choose-your-own-adventure style quest. You could buy a straight-up kit with almost everything needed to build a Voron (although you may still need to buy some additional tools for assembly). Or you can load up the sourcing guide and buy every bolt, pulley, motor...

That's awesome! There are a lot of folks who would like white fiberglass-not-steel-core belts…

What kind of belts are those? White usually means steel-core and that won't work with the tight bend radius on V0…

The goal here is to be able to have equal tension on the belts without worrying about accidentally bending a motor shaft. I'm not sure how much tension this gets you beyond stock because I wouldn't even know where to start the simulations or calculations for that, but moving the belt tension...

Man, that would be super cool. Someday, maybe…

Took a little while figuring out where to upload more images because I don't trust Discord to keep happily hosting them here. In the meantime, I've made some more progress with the build. Z joints mounted to Z rails Installed whoppingpochard's kinematic bed mount on the bed frame A little...

LDO has been opting not to include a 5V power supply in their kits for as long as I can remember (the V0 kit includes the usual 24V->5V step-down converter, and they supply a custom Octopus to RPi power cable for the V2/VT kits). As long as the supplied method of powering everything works and is...

Pi 4B 8GB is overkill but should be fine. Just make sure you have some sort of cooling fan nearby because the Pi 4B can run warm, and the electronics bay in a Voron can get pretty warm too. I haven't used the Octopus Max or any of the other EZ MCUs, and I don't use screens, but hopefully the...

I also added MSB5-20s to the XY joints, and yes, I'm going a little off-book here. Also testing out some new front idlers, which I'm calling BFI for "Beefy Front Idlers".

I made some modifications to the A/B drives. One is, all of the bearings are riding on MSB5-20 Misumi shoulder bolts now, which are threaded into M3 heatset inserts.

To celebrate @hartk finally starting a Trident build, I'm doing another one too. But this one's gonna be a little different…

I like how much cleaner everything looks without the physical endstops installed, too.

Definitely cursed. You'll need an old priest and a young priest.
