Im new here and have some questions

[InfinitEndz]

So Ive been wanting to build a voron for a while and theres so much information all over the place that for me its a little overwhelming so im hoping if I list my goals maybe I can get some good suggestions. For starters im in the US. The end goal is to make a toolchanger. I think itd be really cool to make a toolchanger that can not only handle really soft tpus but also be able to print high temperature filaments, pps-cf, ppa-cf, pc cf etc. I just recently stumbled across the doomcube mod and that definitely interests me. But is there a decent kit that comes with the 4040 rails? Id like to have a heated bed that does at least 120c and a toolhead/toolheads that can print at least 330-350c. Ive always made the assumption that toolhead temps are mainly a firmware modification as long as the hardware can handle it. Yes my account is brand new and yes im a little all over the place, but im trying to get a little more active in this community because theres an amazing amount of knowledge here and Id love some guidance. Thank you!

Welcome!

Let's start with your goal: building a toolchanger. That's an advanced mod, and there are a handful of options out there, but I'd suggest you to first build your printer as stock as possible, setting it up and making sure that it works, then start modding it. This way you will get more help because there's more people with experience with a stock printer that can help you troubleshoot any problems you might have.

Concerning high temperature filaments, beware that a VORON is designed to print ABS as properly as possible, some of the more demanding filaments may push the printed parts beyond their limits. You'll need to make your own research about that. And yes, you can set the max temperature of the hotend on the printer configuration file on Klipper, just make sure to set one that can be safely reached by your hotend of choice.

As for DOOMcube mod's 4040 extrusions, you have two options:

• you can buy the extrusions from Misumi, that is the original extrusion for the mod. You can even choose between square or rounded corner extrusions. Using these extrusions you'll reuse the four vertical extrusions from a stock V2.4, you just bolt the extra extrusions on them;
• LDO manufactures (manufactured?) a conversion kit with an extrusion designed by the creator of the DOOMcube mod, some US-based stores still have the kit for sale like West3D. Using this kit you replace the four vertical extrusions of a V2.4 entirely.

If you have more questions don't be shy to ask them.

If you ever need parts, in varying colors and sizes....dllpdf.com is a great custom jobber for extrusions. And Bert is easy to work with, if you need more customized options.

The above advice is pretty sound...I also suggest waiting, though it adds a bit of complication, it ensures your printer works correctly before fiddling with more boards and connections.
