This will in all likelihood be my last post about this machine since I will be shifting gears to get to work on my V2.4 build. Here is the comprehensive recap list of all installed mods, including embedded links to them: Formbot V0.2 kit (April 2023) Moons motors Kirigami bed frame...

Installed extended front feet, and skirts/display mount to match the Mini-Fridge door Had to modify them with an extra 2mm of height to clear the door (another dimension issue with the LDO door kit compared to Formbot printer frame). Added 1.8mm accent mesh backing to skirts as well. Thanks to...

Update, Dec 04, 2024: After several months of downtime while I focused on other life priorities, I finally got around to what will in all likelihood be the last modifications to my V0.2. I now have over 500hrs of use on the machine since I first built it, and it has been a pleasure, even when...

Build update, Dec 12: Hit right around 100hrs of print time and started running into issues with the V0-Umbilical mod included in the Formbot V0.2 kit. I know it is either a wiring or connector issue causing my hotend heater to lose power. The umbilical cable is much to stiff, and that combined...

Well, that's definitely NOT the Voron spec 40% infill. Looks closer to 20%, and the way the part separated is indicative of poor layer adhesion. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the parts in the kit. I was afraid of that. It would be advisable to seriously consider reprinting all...

Just FYI, you will not need the electronics bay separator, since your Formbot kit came with the V0 Umbilical mod, and the frame-side PCB for this will take the place of that separator. You may need to print the mounting brackets (frame and toolhead) for that mod in order to use it. They can be...

Build update, Oct 5th: As one of the first calibrations on the rebuilt machine, I purchased the Provok3D nozzle-mount ADXL345 for running input shaper, and after doing so, it's hitting 22k acceleration! The default setting is 2k, and previously I had done input shaping the old fashioned way with...

Build update, Sept 30: Well, what was originally planned as a simple refresh to the V0.2r1 update and a couple of upgrades turned into a nearly complete rebuild, but Darth Voron is ready to resume his reign of terror. Replaced ALL the 3D printed parts on the machine. The parts that I got from...

My home values were a bit lower (49 and 53), but those are easily affected by belt tension and motor current, so that can explain that. The run currents do look about right; mine are set at 0.8.

I take it that since there is no BOM listed that the parts can currently only be purchased in kit form from LDO? Is there any plan for the parts to eventually be available from more sources than just LDO? I have nothing against them, but I hate being beholden to a single company for parts/spares.

Aug 11, 2023 Update Adding an inverted z-chain and filament cleaner to the mod list. Adding Filament Runout module to the Electronics list. Dropping plans for the Orbiter 2 extruder in favor of the Sherpa Mini; came to find out that the Orbiter 2 is a closed-source assembly proprietary to LDO...

Thanks! I learned a TON from my Formbot V0.2 kit build. I am actually really glad I did that one before gunning for this big project. I have been going back and forth on whether a CNC/CF X-gantry would be worth it, and have heard mixed opinions for sure. I think with the lightweight toolhead and...

Aug 7, 2023, Starting my build log for the V2.4r2 350 that I have just started self-sourcing over the weekend. Choosing self-source because I did not like easily half of the included parts that came with any of the kits I have seen (Including Formbot, LDO, and Siboor), so I'm not going to spend...

Build Update: Here are the mods I have so far made to my Formbot V0.2 kit... 1) Swapped out the stock build BTT SKR Pico and BTT Pi for a BTT Manta E3EZ & BTT CB1 combo. I found this change was needed to make use of the built-in chamber thermistor in the V0 Umbilical mod that comes with the...

This is the one I used. I'm not a big fan of attaching things with VHB tape, but this seems the best solution I could find for my desires. As for the screen, I actually don't know because I don't use mine; never had any intention of using it, so never hooked it up or programmed it.
