350 Trident self source questions

[sbman]

I've decided to build a Trident at it's max size of 350mm. Doing it self source and fabbing as much as I reasonably can because I enjoy that sort of thing. I've built CNC machines before this is just the first 3D printer I've done.

The plan is to keep it mostly stock, but with a USB toolhead, umbilical and an Eddy bed sensor.

• Stealthburner toolhead w/Mosquito hotend
• Nitehawk USB toolhead board

I've been looking for the specs for the 350mm sized parts but am not finding anything.

The fusion and step files are for a 250. Is upsizing it as simple as adding 100mm to the parts that would need to scale or is there a source I am missing for a version of the model at 350?

Making parts like the top plate will need a fair bit of drawing modifications if I need to add length to the areas that expand but keep cutouts and slots the right size, it would not be as simple as scaling it up 1.4 times. I've got a large format laser cutter to use for cutting panels and such, but will need drawings that fit the machine size I am building.

I'd advice you against the Mosquito hotend, as it isn't supported by the VORON dev team (it's too wide, which interferes with proper part cooling).

The fusion and step files are for a 250. Is upsizing it as simple as adding 100mm to the parts that would need to scale or is there a source I am missing for a version of the model at 350?

You can use the configurator on the site to check the dimensions of the extrusions. Keep in mind that the stock Trident does not scale on the Z axis, only on the X and Y axes. If you want to have a higher printer you'll need to either find a stepper motor with embedded leadscrew that is long enough for the desired height and is not bent, or install a belted bed mod.

Since this is your first 3D printer, from where do you intend to obtain the printed parts?
