Conclusion I have a not-especially-stock-but-still-pretty-darn-stock Voron 0.2R1 printer with serial number V0.3592 so we’re now solidly into the “extra credit mods” section of a buildlog. Prints are coming out fairly well now and the air quality meter is happier. The biggest annoyance at the...

Wrapping things up I don’t know what it is, but the standard Voron DIN clips seem to be real easy to break, at least so far. Before I’d got the Voron, I’d printed them to mount my OctoPrint Pi to control my Ender 3v2 on a DIN rail and they didn’t feel very durable printed in PETG. One of the...

Me: Part of why I’m building a zero is because it’s cute and smol and I can take it outside to print in the summertime. Them: aww, you can take it on walks… Me: BRB, takin’ my Voron for a walk. People will ask to pet my Voron. Them: Is it friendly? Will it bite? Me: It’s not just friendly...

Prelude to first print… I washed the Formbot-provided flexplate with dish soap because I figure if I’m going to screw up a flexplate, it’s the right one to screw up. As I’m washing the smooth side, I feel something coming off. Okay, that’s not good. But, no, oops, it looks like that was a...

Okay, so we started last weekend with zero working printers and ended up with zero working printers. Let’s see how this weekend goes… The SKR Pico and Formbot support Yaaj on the Vorom forums had the same problem. I’m unclear on if it’s “Hey, we really need to get a small Ender-sized board...

I dono, I've tended to order 6-8 contact screw terminals and split them on the dovetail to get down to 2-pin versions because at least when you are getting them from DigiKey in the US it's usually somewhat cheaper... except for one connector type where the 8 contact screw terminal was actually...

Yeah, I'll probably do the same, assuming my soldering iron has enough heat output for the job. I'm assuming that they designed it in the biggest hurry during the time period where you could not get STM32's but could get RP2040's. I guess yay for them actually using a fill underneath the screw...

Oh yeah, a Dragon Burner is high on the list of mods once it's working.

Ansible provisioning I don’t have the energy to turn this into a proper Ansible tutorial that’s generic enough to be safely shared so I’ll be brief here. Basically, when I set up the firmware image, I gave it my username and ssh key so that I’d be able to just run Ansible. And then I’ve got a...

One of my friends was visiting a while ago and we were doing the “parallel play” thing where we were both working on different stuff the same time. And then she realized that she needed some springs, so we walked to the local Ace Hardware, which I’d never actually been in, so we had to also...

So, not talking you out of this, but I ended up building a really nice and very flexible shelving unit out of extrusion, and it's going to end up holding two Vorons and I have to say that, were I to have time and money and not have existing furniture, I'd probably build up a lot of extrusion...

Summary I’m assuming that the MiniSB is probably one of the trickier bits of assembly with all of the interlocking parts. There’s a lot of stuff where, had I built a blanket fort around a not-well-calibrated printer, I could probably print some ABS parts and they’d probably have some...

As I said last update, it feels like I’m reaching the end of the build? I grabbed the manual and the remaining parts and was able to fairly quickly sort the remaining 3D printed parts into a few small ziploc bags. Print bed In the absence of actual documentation, I’m going to assume that what...

I wanted to laser-cut the piece for a lower rear panel with a 8010 MCU fan and my friend-and-fellow-tinkerer CraftySorceress happens to have laser cutter access so she was nice enough to cut it for me. I told her she’s a cut above the rest. A/B Belts I was overly generous with M2x6 BHCS...

This work session aligned to the 8th anniversary of Voron’s release PSU mounting I’ve found a few options for mounting the PSU not using VHB tape: Using screws through the deck plate which is kinda fine, but my goal here is to be able to swap it out over time A DIN Rail mount that doesn’t...
