For a little while now i have been gearing up to replace my Prusa i3 with another printer that will be stored indoors. One of the big factors is WAF along with the safety for little hands being near it.
After deciding on a CoreXY build i couldnt settle on the specific design, until a few weeks ago when russiancatfood/mzbot released the VORON to the public. I quickly settled on that for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the ease of enclosure and general minimalistic beauty of the build. This weekend im planning on building it from go to whoa, and here is the thread for documenting it.
In the past I have put up extensive build threads on various forums, usually for race cars (such as the one you can see in the corner of the frame here). But for the VORON I thought i would do something different given that its not so much an engineering and design challenge, but just a build thread.
Thats the first part of the build done. Just waiting on a parcel with the corner cubes and i can put the frame together. The other stages will be2. Mechanical3. Electrical4. Finishing touches
Planning on a couple of little mods to the design, but they will come later.
Also sorely missing my lathe and mill at this point. In the past i would have fed that 20mm T-slot in through the headstock and into a 4 jaw chuck, and simply parted it off on the lathe using a cutting disc mount. Sadly all that equipment is 800km away in a storage shed 🙁
