Short about me, i have been 3d printing since 2011 with a RepRap Mendal (i got the printed parts from a guy i knew who at a university in Copenhagen).
Then i upgraded to a printbot plus (the wood model) back in 2015, who i replaced with a modded sunlu s8 in 2021, but had to take it apart in early 2022 and put it in storage, do to some moving, and never got around to assemble it again, since it takes up souch space, thats when i decided that i wanted to make a Voron V0.1
I started printing some of the parts around August 2022, until may 2023, where the printer i was using to the print the parts, stoped working, it was a craftbot flow idex.
It had been printing almost every day since December 2020, we estimates that it had around 12.000 print hours total, before the main board gave out.
Just to clarify, i was allowed from my boss, to print some of the parts for the build, once in a while, with some of the spare fillement, that was to short/not enough to use for anything else, when the printer wasn't busy, which for both wasn't much, especially the filament, that normally where around 20cm-30cm, so i had to "weld" some of the fillement strands together, and re-spool it, before i could use it for anything really.
But after the printer gave out, we got a bambulab X1C, and it turned the rest of the parts out in no time at all,
All of the parts are self-sourced, because, i felt like it was the only right thing to do, since i already have apent A LONG TIME, printing all of the parts, i could have been using my sunlu, but abs is not something it is able to print, since it warps to much on the printbed, and PBT+ is very abrasive, so it was not something i wanted to frustrate printing on thw sunlu.
For the printed parts, it is primarily made from 3DE Premium PBT+ snow white, and RS-Pro Red ABS, some some accent pieces here and there, and parta you can interact with, i wanted it to be kinda like a Ultimaker, with the clean white design, but keep some of the estetic that voron has, like the red color.
For the hotend, i have decided to use a bambulab hotend, since it can print with abrasive filaments, and that we got one extra with the bambulab, so we had 3pcs 0.4 nozzles, so i was allowed to got one of them
Some mods will included, like:
-sideswipe Klicky prope.
-1 piece skirts all round.
-skirt with usb and ethernet port.
-voron v0.2 toolhead.
-3.5" touchscreen.
-nema17 for the a and b drive, instead of nema14, since i allready had some laying around, so why not reuse them, instead of buying new ones.
I dont have all of the parts yet, but i have everything to get the frame done, but the rest is primarily electronics and printbed, so thats stuff i will take care of in the end enyways.

I know that 3DE premium PBT+ snow white is a great material, even though that is white compared to the black variant they sell, but I do think it is because of how the PBT behaves, and the added glass fibre, except that you can't print really fast with it, like abs, since it doesn't cool down so fast, but it can withstand 150° Celsius before deformation
