    I think we are trying to split hairs here. I do admit that even the plate I have installed is 0.1mm lower on two opposing corners..but it was not a major issue to just adjust the bed to get decent first layers on the corners. But lets be honest, the times I needed a full ~400mm is very...

    Hi all, been a while since my last update. I kinda got distracted to change my Ender 3 firmware, but I have worked a bit on the Voron. The cable management was a mess in the basement compartment...At that stage I was too excited to get the printer going. Here is the cable management completed :D...

    Here is a spreadsheet to keep track of the parts to be printed. voron 2.1 parts printed tracker (Not mine, the voron guys made it) Oh boy! I forgot to add the cost for the filament used to print the parts...but wasn't that much. Think it was one and a half rolls black ABS+ and half a roll of...

    Awesome! Only a pleasure, like I said I enjoy this process allot...Happy to share and help where I can. The one thing on my list to get is a MIC6 plate for the bed...Cant believe it but this 10mm 7075 alu plate is still out by 0.2mm on two corners (after I milled it "true") So maybe in the...

    Okay, today was the pinnacle of procrastination at work... Decided to do some spreadsheet fun and calculated the cost of this machine. Here is the link complete with prices for all items and links to the respective suppliers. Voron 2.1 Cost Reconciliation So to summarize, I basically started...

    Hi! Okay, I see a fair bit of interest in the cost. Will try my best to do a cost reconciliation this week and share it.

    Still tuning the printer, still have chatter on on of the sides. Reading through the Voron discord, looks like the common culprits are belt tension and grub screw that gets loose. Lol, so mad at myself for not putting loctite on the grubs as per the manual. So next I will be going through all...

    Yeah a few. The first and last 5 layers or so is not great. The sides is also bumpy, suspect my belts must be tightened a bit more.

    Thank you very much! Nothing too crazy, used one of the default slicing profiles on the github. Notice now that it was a detailed profile so speeds was cranked down. Thus that first print was 50mm/s, 100mm/s for infil and 300mm/s for non-print moves. Going to be tweaking today! :D

    Wow, what a day...damn it was full of hair pulling moments to get this beast to print. Firmware configuring was not that bad, but I just could not get it to spit plastic....turns out the extruder was too tight and constantly jammed.

    Each day is one step closer! Installed the bed heater and the PEI sheet on the alu plate. 310mm x 310mm x 10mm plate (milled down to 9mm to hopefully get a more true surface with a tolerance of about +- 0.03mm) The heater is a 600W 230V, I actually read after I bought the heater that you don't...
