2.4 upgrades/replacements for Formbot as a 1st time Voron buyer.

[Warrenzo]

Ok, so I’m going to pull the trigger on the Formbot 2.4 350mm next month, but I’m just wondering what ever thinks would be a good upgrade/replacement to purchase to use instead of the stock part???
So far I’ve decided on the following….

* Cartographer
* Possibly the full CNC parts from either Chaoticlabs or Biqu
*Monolith AWD gantry

I mostly print PLA/PETG, but def looking to print with ABS too.

So what do you guys think I should go with and why?

P.S. I'm coming from the Creality CR-10s Pro and the CR10-Max, both of which I upgraded myself, so I'm no stranger to building/upgrading/modding.

if this is your first voron, we always recommend building stock, and get it running reliably before throwing a bunch of third party mods at it

it's much easier for us to diagnose issues on a stock voron rather than trying to work out if one of the mods is causing issues

once you're up-and-running with a reliable voron, you can mod it to your hearts content

It is indeed.

Yeah I was going to probably run it for 6 months or so as stock to get a feel for it before adding any, but just wanted to get opinions on what people have done and would suggest as a good future upgrade/mod. That being said though, I recon I might skip the printed parts in favour of the CNC parts to save a bit in the long run
