Question Day 0 V2.4 Mods

Printer Model

V2.4

Extruder Type

Orbiter

Cooling Type

Stealthburner

Hello!

Over the next month I will be building a V2.4 300mm, I'm self sourcing from leftover/extra parts with the rest of the parts from West3D, LDO, and BTT. For anyone who has built a 2.4, either from a kit or self sourced, what non-BOM upgrades did you feel was a worthwhile addition to the stock build?

These are my current planned mods/upgrades to install while assembling:
- Nevermore V5 Duo
- Stealthburner W/ Rapido + LDO Orbiter V2.0
- 2-piece Hartk Stealthburner Toolhead PCB
- Neopixel LEDs
- AC Heated Bed PCB (removed since not compatible with a 750W 120V bed)
- Kicky + Sexbolt
- Voron 2.4 Filament Latch

If there is anything else I should modify or deviate from while building, I would love to hear your feedback!

Also, for any of these mods, what would you avoid upgrading until after the initial build?

Thanks!

Bed Fans

Macros and Usage See bedfans.cfg or bedfans-dualcontrol.cfg* for klipper macros. 1) Place the .cfg file in the same directory as your printer.cfg file. 2) Add [include bedfans.cfg] to your printer.cfg. 3) Change pin for your fans in the second section.

For remote monitoring, a camera and mount are worthwhile to install. And, not day-0, but grab an ADXL345 so you can run Input Shaper.

I know the mod is old and abandoned but https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voro...Decontaminator_Purge_Bucket_&_Nozzle_Scrubber is amazing, not so much for the bucket nor the scrubber (although they are useful!) but for the stoppers at the edge of the bed, because it realigns the steel plate instantly at the proper distance all the time.

Personally I stuck with the legacy Revision #2 and it's been perfect, I will always rebuild my V2 with that mod.

what is

Hartk AC Heated Bed PCB

QoL hack: a switch accessible from the outside to put the stepper board in flash mode. Waited too long with that, would have saved me some aggravation.

Don't use Klicky, wait for the New TapTapTap.

What mods a worthwhile for the stock build is somewhat of a personal choice. However, you post title is "Day 0", which to me means "what mods should I include as part of the build". To that question, my opinion is "none". Build stock, get to know you printer and then mod. The only one that I might consider is StealthBurner but that is not a mod anymore.

gotcha... already have those. Was thinking it was an extruder latch mod or something.

gotcha, for some reason I thought it was an extruder latch mod. I have the panel latches. They work great and are super convenient.

 

[azoner]

The 270 degree door hinge is nice.

@hartk's pin mod was straightforward.

+1 for the panel latches

I plan on using a BTT EBB36 CAN Bus on the toolhead. You only need four wires between MCU and toolhead and this can eliminate the X & Y cable chains. There is also, an ADXL345 built in to it for resonance testing. I don't have any first hand experience with it, but it looks to me like it will clean up the build quite a bit. You might want to look into this before investing in the HartK toolhead PCB. However it would probably better if put printer together "stock" and get it up and running before trying the EBB36.

@ZombieHedgehog what mod are you talking about when you said this

Hartk AC Heated Bed PCB

The Voron 2.4 Filament Latch just came out with a slim print in place version that feels much more durable.

The same repo has a set of handles for the lower back corner and I wish I would have printed them sooner. The build is large and can be quite awkward to move around once everything is attached you can kinda pick it up by the feet/skirt but it does not spark joy the same way the handles do.

You mention both Orbiter 2.0 and 2 part toolhead PCB, but there is no way to use those together afaik. The Orbiter's tension latch would interfere.
