So I've been thinking about building a Micron - the smaller PrintersForAnts re-imagination of the Voron V2.4 that uses 1515 extrusions. Specifically, the 180mm Micron+.
If you read any of the (unfortunately few) Micron build threads here or on other forums, or watch any of the YouTube reviews, a few things stick out:
So with that in mind, "doing research" before making a purchase is difficult. Since I had already put in the leg work, I decided to capture what I've found in a spreadsheet, in case it helps others.
If you have any other insight, questions, comments, etc, about Micron (or Micron+) kits, please feel free to join in here!
(Spreadsheet will be in the second post)

... and the same comparison with a Micron+, sporting the Prusa Mini bed structure

//edit: As a v2.4 owner, I also have to link this hilarious Micron serial request.![Beaming face with smiling eyes :grin: 😁](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png)
If you read any of the (unfortunately few) Micron build threads here or on other forums, or watch any of the YouTube reviews, a few things stick out:
- Everyone has used different kits
- Kits vary wildly in terms of what is included
- Kits (like the Micron itself) are evolving over time
- No vendor or manufacturer stands out (yet) for having the best kits, nor is there a dominant consensus in key areas about certain parts.
So with that in mind, "doing research" before making a purchase is difficult. Since I had already put in the leg work, I decided to capture what I've found in a spreadsheet, in case it helps others.
