So, part of what I’m trying to do is avoid CAN, which is why I’m going with the Nighthawk and Beacon. It sounds like this is a relatively new combo (since Nitehawk just came out) so this is likely to be an unwise choice for a CN like me! Still, I’m gonna give it a whirl.
I get stuck between “you don’t know what you’re doing, so build stock and upgrade later” and “build now so you don’t have to mess with it in the future “, which I do understand is not really part of the Voron-consciousness.
So right now, here’s where I am. I’m at around page 141ish of the manual - belts on. The next thing is the carriage/SB, wiring.
So I’m sort of at a crossroads for how to proceed. Either I can update a couple things now, when it’s possibly less inconvenient to do so, or wait til its built and replace things as necessary.
A). I mistakenly installed the stock front and Z idlers. Option: replace with Beefys before moving on.
B) print carriage for Beacon, replace existing carriage and install Beacon.
B.1 - this will require me to fix up an enclosure for the Creality, since I’m not sure I’d trust the ABS print for this part without one.
Or, C: install stock probe and keep going for now.
Here’s the non-stock things that are potentially more complicated than I need to deal with now:
Nitehawk (came in yesterday )
Galileo 2
Beacon
Decision: skip the above, and build stock and upgrade later.
What do yall think?
