All Metal 2.4 350mm Build with Chaoticlab Kits

[MichaelOToole]

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 looks like it will cost less than my first build using LDO Kit & Chaoticlab CNC Parts...

These are the kits available:

• Voron 2.4 Electronics Kit (Set 1 - $295) Out of stock & Discontinued
• Voron 2.4 Full Cable Kit (Set 2 - $45)
• Voron 2.4 Full Fastener Kit (Set 3 - $56)
• Voron 2.4 Heated Bed Kit (Set 4 - $129)
• Voron 2.4 Motion Kit (Set 5 - $229)
• Voron 2.4 Panels Kit (Set 6 - $109)
• Voron 2.4 Frame Kit (Set 7 - $109)
• Voron 2.4 CNC Parts Kit V2.0 ($399 no tap)
• Voron 2.4 Tap V2 ($44.99)
• CNC Voron Tap Sensor V2 Module ($15.99)

The overall price is on a par with others and you can pick and choose whatever you want (I had some spares so didn't need everything)...

CNC Kits:

Excellent quality (mint), perfect packaging...

Awaiting other CNC kit delivery:
CNC Voron Tap V2.0
CNC Door Mounting Kit

Costs:

Previous Build:​

From memory I believe I spent about €1650 (possible a little more).​

​

Current Build:​

Approximately (€1250)​

Not going to price in the printed parts as I have lots of filament and will print them myself...
Allow about $100 for Stealthburner and associated parts...

Notes on prices:
Some parts are less expensive now (two years later) such as the CNC kit, this can account for some of the saving plus less printed parts bought.
I had hoped for some saving and it's looking like there is at least $300, but I have probably missed something.
Would be happy if €1500 is achievable for a genuine all metal build.

Conclusion:
Although everything looks perfect on inspection, If all the kits match the quality of the chaoticlab's CNC kit, I will be over the moon...

I can't start the build yet, have to make room for it and wait for the fasteners etc...

Nice project, subbing to watch the progress.

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 here I come... might upgrade main board but which to get?

Have lots of 2209's, Pi 4, Fans and more but need the Mainboard, Motors and PSU's...

 

[NoGuru]

Aww man, sorry to hear that Michael. I can sympathize with you, tenuities and eyes getting worse make it hard for me to work on things as well.

I do not recommend using 2209's unless you are on a budget. So many WAYYYY better drivers out there. I have not tried it but the BTT Kraken looks to be a nice board and has built in 5160 drivers.

 

[MichaelOToole]

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

Sorry to hear your fingers are letting you down. I had to contend with clise up eyesight problems and it is always horrible. I hope you will find work arounds.
Nice project and will be following it.
Have you found use for the revo parts already?

 

[MichaelOToole]

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

Yup I can relate to things taking longer. Hope things improve somehow.
