Hi I am looking at building my first Voron but I am not a build-things newbie. I am an engineer with enough skills and tools to build a Voron from the plans. No plan to do that. I am planning to buy a kit from Formbot China. I buy a lot of stuff from Aliexpress and I find that there is a...

Hi There are a few things that can be done to improve motion control relevant to 3D printers. 1. Remove any backlash (belt slippage, loose pulleys, slop) 2. Reduce hysteresis. (flex, stretch, bending). 3. Increase rigidity while reducing weight. 4. Add damping to reduce resonant peaks (Tuned...

My son has purchased a house and will be moving out FINALLY!! Unfortunately he will be taking the Prusa with him. Fortunately that will give me the excuse to build a Voron. I have a number of reasons for investigating the water cooling option. It is my assessment that the Voron is a well...

I won't really feel part of it until I build a Voron. That could be a few months away. When I do start tinkering, I will post my results.

My plan is to start with a standard Voron build, including clipper and the ADXL345. Next step will be to identify the sources of vibration. One of the simplest ways to do this will be to add small temporary test weights to suspect points. The added weights will shift the frequency of vibration...

OK I am not interested in heating the enclosure. I don't use any filament type that would need it. I am interested in surface finish of prints. I see vibration artifacts from my Prusa and printers I see on-line (YT). My background in electronics engineering includes control engineering. So...

Hi I am on a path to build a Trident. I have been considering what mods to do. I have looked at water cooling a Revo nozzle. I have the tools to do that. I have found very little on water cooling published in the last year. I did a search on this forum before writing this and nothing. So...
