Back in 2016/17 I went down the route of designing and building a 3d printer from scratch, I'm not about to do all of that again... Obviously at that time you could not order ready made parts or kits, you could however get brackets, fasteners, extrusions, motors etc... Part delivery (mainly...

Left hand not great but at least I can still use my thumb and index finger, good job the right hand is almost normal, else I just waster a lot of cash. I keep telling myself to sort out the mess and make a start on the build, but then I find something else to do... This is also know as Vivaldi...

All parts have arrived so I updated first post, basically I saved about €200 over my previous build with absolutely no drop in quality... Now to make room somewhere to build a 350mm 2.4, easier said than done :unsure:

Almost certainly not use as an insulator but it's entirely possible the heater used in the LDO kit came without the 3M adhesive and they used an RTV silicone instead, that would explain the overlap. But then again, as the main point of failure for adhesion is at the edges, it could be Belt and...

I found an official doc link containing the some information: Installing Heater with RTV. My point was, the LDO Bed came with the Heater already applied to the Bed but as these Heaters normally comes with 3M adhesive, so the extra black silicone adhesive around the edges of the Heater is...

I updated my original post above as more Kits arrived. It has become apparent (during the examination / unboxing of the kits), that the quality is top notch, at the very least on a par but often exceeding that of other sources. Appreciate many of the suppliers may have the same sources so...

I can't actually open my left hand that much, I can use the index finger and thumb close to normal but as a hand it's kinda useless... Didn't get to use the Revo parts yet, everything takes longer now but, come the summer :)

Ordered the Kraken, LDO Motors and the Display... €240... that leaves... ?

Might be a bit more difficult, have since developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, it's no too bad these days but left hand no fully working, right is fine. Just got email to inform me Set 1: Voron 2.4 Electronics Kit out of stock and discontinued... Now I need to find another source... Aliexpress...

Decided to build a second 2.4 (350mm) using Kits from chaoticlab's as they supply everything in individual kits. My main aim here is to evaluate this approach and provide feedback on the kits/process so that others may gain from my experience. I will post prices later in the post, so far it...

Best to visualize the map as it does indeed look like the bed needs work... With bed cold, go to HEIGHTMAP and run CALIBRATE... Set Scale z-max to the middle, take a screenshot and post it... Might as well heat bed to 40° C, run CALIBRATE again, take another screenshot and post it... How is...

So it corrects quite a bit when warmed up? The lower left and lower right are showing profile, what is their bases like (side touching bed)? Questions: What was 1st layer height? Assume self sourced build? *Aluminum bed thickness? What probe are you using, Tap Clicky, other... Do you run the...

The deviation is quite high -0.003679 to -0.162429 as against mine at 0.005000 to -0.015000 ... That's almost a full layer at 0.2, what do you get if the bed is at 50° C before bed meshing? Assume it printed fine previously? 1 Print a small square 50x50mm in the top left of the bed a few...

I ordered the Bed Kit for the 350mm, in part to see what the quality was like, and if quoted price included all taxes/duties (didn't know where it would be shipped from). As expected, the quality of the Kit (Bed, Heater, Print Plate) were excellent, not really a gamble as I rate ChaoticLab...

In my case, G90 is called in homing.cfg, from inside printer.cfg... The sequence in printer.cfg is: 1 [include mainsail.cfg] 2 [include canbus.cfg] 3 [include homing.cfg] ... That makes sense to me but I do make mistakes... ;) I've had occasion (rare but it does happen), when a sequence is...
