Secret Santa Trident 350

[Nurgelrot]

Thought I’d publish a couple pictures of `SecretSanta` before I put into full service. It started out as a Fysetc Trident 350 kit that I won in the Voron Discord vendor Santa giveaway. Then on Nero3D’s New Year’s live stream I won a set of ACM panels from Printed Solid. Very lucky end of year for me.

I ended up requesting those panels to fit a different Voron but I liked them so much I’ve since ordered and installed a set from Printed Solid here as well. Proving that vendor giveaways do generate more business.

I dint feel like do a full build log. We have all, by now seen a few hundred Voron builds. I also went for a simple color scheme. I would have done something in red but I already have too many red printers – red and green would have been over the top . Simple black and white looks nice.

This build departs from the “standard” Voron in that it’s using RepRapFirmware on a Mellow/Fly Super8 Pro controller and a build of firmware for the Mellow/Fly SB2040 tool board. Which implements CANFD in the firmware to allow it to talk to RRF native. Sadly owing to Bosch’s unwillingness to explore a software implementation of CANFD this code wont see the light of day. (at least in any binary distributed form). However, Fly has stepped up and is working on a version of the SB2040 that will have in hardware CANFD – fingers crossed.

So all the specs for people that enjoy them:

• Printed parts per PIF instructions in ApolloX ASA (b&w)
• Bulk of hardware Fysetc Voron Trident 350 kit.
  • Replaced Motors with LDO Trident Kit
  • Replaced toothed idlers with genuine Gates
  • Replaced all fans with higher quality fans.
• Voron Opto TAP Fysetc kit and printed Stealthburner+PCB and 30x30 fan cable cover
• Fly Super8 Pro wifi enabled controller running Teamgloomy’s RRF 3.5_beta2
• Fly SB2040 running Teamgloomy’s RRF 3.5_beta2
• West3D Titanium backers.
• West3D kinematic bed kit.
• Printed Solid ACM panels.

Thank you very much to the Voron Design Discord team, Fysetc, Nero3D and Printed Solid and Teamgloomy for making this build a reality for me.

Do you have any more info on the CAN-FD firmware implementation for the SB2040 board?

Not a lot to say about it. It was made by Gloomyandy of Teamgloomy. He calls it pico-can. But Bosch has told him they have no interest in pursuing a software implementation of their patented CAN-FD protocols and denyed his request to allow its release. Teamgloomy has since focused on a SPI-CANPD hardware implementation . Sadly the realities of market share and hype make it so hardware manufactures are reluctant to invest much in the underdog even when they have a much better implementation of CAN.

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I think I found the dev branches with some of that code, tried compiling it but couldn't quite get it all to build successfully. That's a shame they won't allow a release.
