Anyone out there own a 2.4 and a trident
?
I like my trident and want another DIY printer.
I don’t really see why I would want a 2.4 over a second trident, but the fact that some pretty sensible people have them and celebrate them makes me wonder.
It took some doing but I’m now the proud owner of a registered and serialized #voron #3dprinter build! Time to use the first machine to fabricate two more. Big fan of the Voron Design slogan “We build space shuttles with gardening tools so anyone can have a space shuttle of their own”. Need to look at multi material eventually too.
Designed my first custom print head part for a Voron tool head. Galileo2 extruder in a Stealthburner with filament entry sensor and filament cutter mods. Derived from existing mods, but more reliable filament loading and cutting. Did my first test print with the new modded tool head. This flawless 15 hour chameleon print. Very happy with progress on my 350 Trident build. #Voron #3dprinting
#3Dtisk #multimaterial neboli vícebarevný tisk
Ne, nepotřebuji to, ale - už nemám doma co stavět, postavil jsem 3x #VORON (já mám Trident 300), udělal spousty upgradů tiskáren Ender3 (asi 20ks) na #klipper a tohle mne láká
Zatím u mne vítězí #BoxTurtle před #ERCF (vyčetl jsem - jednodušší stavba, rozchození, tisk dílů)

Děkuji ...
It's alive! This Voron build was just beyond my capabilities, so was an amazing learning experience, but also very challenging. At one stage I was referencing five different build manuals at the same time. (I would not recommend getting a kit with a lot of mods for your first build.)
What's some decent grease for a new #Voron build? I want some that I can run to a hardware store in the US and pick up so I don't have to wait as long.
Community, DIY, open hardware and software has been part of the commodity #3Dprinting world for over 20 years (#RepRap et al.). Open projects, with parts you can source yourself or via kits (e.g. #Voron).
What if—what IF!
We did the same for plain old #2Dprinting..? I’d build a 2D laser printer from a kit.
(To be fair, I found a few resources and it seems like a daunting talk: lots of moving parts, optics, etc. 3D printers almost feel simpler, they’re just robots that push out hot plastic.)
“Firmware update bricks HP printers”
(and toner/ink DRM, etc.)
Well… slowly printing bridges for hours was too much for this setup and I got bitten by heat creep.
I was repeating gcode that printed fine yesterday but maybe chamber temps were just a little warmer today.
Nothing appears to have actually failed and I think I can just re-paste and reassemble everything, but it doesn’t give me a ton of confidence in this little 5V 2510 fan…
Super proud of my little #Voron! It can now watch its tooth all by itself!

You know you're in trouble when the kit you bought comes with everything you need for rubber duck debugging.
First print off the Xol toolhead on my Trident.
Not tuned yet, just running one of my old Stealthburner slicer profiles.
Happy with the progress. Now to get it all tuned in and start working on the next project.
I’ll put a printing video in a reply.
I'm still waiting for my new hot end thermistors, so I decided to do some other projects and installed a new chamber filter and routed a new chamber TC as the other one was on my Stealthburner.
Once I had a stable, hot chamber I tried to run a PID_CALIBRATE
on the hot end and now I seem to be able to reliably calibrate with consistent settings and very stable temperature holds.
I'll have to try it again cool to see if that was really the issue, but I guess I can move to some monitored basic prints later today.
Got the trident all reassembled. We're homing on sensorless, can board is configured, z_offset is set. I thought we were looking good.
But now my rapido 2 can't pass a PID to save its life...
Heater seems to be able to get to temp but the thermistor reading is very sluggish and it is definitely overshooting and undershooting set points.
I don't have any spares on hand... getting some on order now.
Any other things to check while I wait?
New Xol-metrix toolhead added.
U2C and EBB36 boards are flashed and communicating. The esoterical guide made this process very straight forward.
Now to reconfigure printer.cfg
to account for this newness then we can tidy things up.
Pulled just a few wires out of the trident today.
Tomorrow I route the new canbus cable, then I try to make it all talk to each other.
Beefy Idlers and Chaotic Labs CNC Tap carriage installed and belts tensioned.
This was so much easier than when I built the machine.
I think it’s probably 50/50 having more experience with these CoreXY setups and that these idlers and this carriage are just better designs.
Got about as far as I can reasonably manage with my Xol until my Delta 2510 shows up. But I’m far enough to get weights with a placeholder fan.
The Stealthburner (CW2, Rapido 2, PCB Klicky, LDO toolhead board) with stock carriage came in at 401g
The Xol-metrix (Sherpa Mini, Rapido 2, BTT EBB36) with its filament cutter and CNC tap came in at 331g
That’s a reasonably good weight savings considering the additional cooling fan, the cutter, and tap.
I did print the wrong front piece for my Sherpa… going to need to resolve that…
