The Electronics Bay
MPX documentation suggest their own wiring guide and electronics layout. This layout is different to Voron's official layout and LDO's layout, with the PSU mounted perpendicular across both DIN rails instead of parallel. They also helpfully supply din-mounted UK2.5 terminal...
Just checked out your build log, really clean documentation and loving the traffic light system!
Really appreciate it. Took me a while to figure out the modifications I wanted and the aesthetics/colour choices.
VEFACH
I really wished to keep the exhaust filter to run VEFACH. Unfortunately the MPX kit closes off the exhaust filter in their recommended print list / build. Thankfully I had a 12V 60mm high-RPM Delta fan from a couple of decades-old PC build. It sounds like an Airbus A380 taking off at...
CANBUS
The MPX kit comes with CAN toolhead boards (BTT SB2209) and hardware (cable reliefs, cable braid, steel wire). The default build option from MPX is to connect the toolhead to the rear AB mount via a steel wire. After all, no one likes it floppy. For this, they have their own printed...
Toolhead
Whilst I finally settled on a DragonBurner in my v0.2, I elected for a standard StealthBurner for this build. 1) I quite like the aesthetic, 2) I wanted to run KNOMI2 at the toolhead, 3) I will print mainly in ABS so am not too fussed about having jet-engine part cooling and 4) I have...
Voron TAP
For probing, the MPX kit comes with all the necessary hardware for a Voron TAP as standard. I initially printed all the parts out in ABS but elected to treated myself to a CNC part. I use 2x Magnets and 2x Screws for the configuration of the TAP, finding it a good balance between...
The Gantry
To avoid issues with part strength, I used Beefy Z-Idlers (part of the Beefy Front Idlers pack). I had to order some more pins and at that point I realised how much of a hassle it would have been to self-source everything (respect to you all!).
As mentioned, Beefy Front Idlers...
AB Drives / Hartk Pins Mod
I wanted to use Hartk's pins mod and originally bought a 500mm x 5mm length stainless steel rod. I found this dremel cutting mount on Printables and went to work. However, despite printing in the ABS, the cutting mount could not tolerate the heat generated by the...
Print Bed
Again quite straight forward as per manual. I used the standard Voron method to prevent bed warp (fixed 1 point, loose 3 points). I did research kinematic mounts, but found that Voron's standard method was more than good-enough. Whilst here, I added a few mods...

Dragon Burner V8, CANBUS and Screen
To improve quality (i.e. issue 6) I decided to switch the mini-SB to something a bit more flexible. The DragonBurner V8 was the perfect upgrade, with compatibility with my ZeroClick z-stop. I did lose about 2-3mm of Y-travel...
The Frame
I used a couple of machinist blocks and a kitchen worktop to square my frame build. The size of the 350mm was huge compared to my v0.2. It can easily swallow it's baby brother up..
Z-Drives
I tested all the kit's black linear rails and found the 4x with the least preload for the Z...
