Self Sourced Voron Trident 300 Detailed Build Log India Edition

[sanketss84]

The pleasure is on my side. This is one of the best build logs and information gathered that I have seen. I will use this thread as a reference when looking at all the options in a build

Thank you for your kind words. It’s only been possible because of the fantastic voron community who had my back throughout the build process. I have just read through a lot of stuff and had a ton of conversations then consolidated to share all this so that others can pace through their own builds.

Did you accidentally post this message here ? Also the url ssoportal.co does not seem to be relevant in this context. Can you please elaborate ?

Looks like SEO farming by posting the URL everywhere where search engines can crawl and link it. Removing.

Wow, that sounds like it was a trip and a half. Fantastic write up, I am sure that helps a lot of builders along the way.

thank you for your kind words. I hope you found this useful.
This was indeed a wonderful learning experience and it has now helped me think in so many new directions and possibilities of making similar hardware projects.

I am thinking this is just the beginning . . .

Hi All,

Building a Voron Trident or any Voron for that matter in India. Its not as easy as placing an order for a kit and you get a box full of components delivered at your door step with everything nicely labelled and you just have to assemble it. We do not have ready availability of kit in India as of Feb 2024 while I am writing this.

Yes we can import one but the money I would be paying as import duties can be equal to getting another voron printer for that same amount. So, self sourcing is the only option.

I have been extensively planning and gradually buying hardware for my Trident 300 build and I wanted to document each and every nuances, decisions and thought process I took for my build so that if any one else decided to build one he/she can have a reference.

With that I will start by sharing everything related to my build here.

This will be an extremely detailed log . . . .
