I may live to regret this decision, but over the past few weeks I've been amassing a collection of bits.
I've been intrigued by Voron printers for a while, but have always been put off by the costs involved.
However, I've decided to scratch the itch.
My biggest complaint, is all the information is spread out over various places. There isn't a distinctive guide.
I could have bought a complete kit, but where is the fun in that?
First step was to generate a BOM (Bill Of Materials) for my chosen printer, which is a V2.4r2, via the Configurator on the voron website.
This generates a spreadsheet of all the parts required.
You then combine that with the Sourcing Guide, and spend many hours working out where to buy everything.
That photo above is all the mechanical parts, with most of the key electrical parts (motors, controller, display), but I still need to buy all the wiring bits.
I finally started assembling the frame last night -
And got as far as adding the bed support bars, and checking it's square tonight-
I opted for a ready machined Misumi extrusion kit.
I was going to go for silver, but silver was out of stock, so I paid the extra for black, rather than wait weeks for silver.
Next step is to start adding the Z-axis linear rails, and Z-axis drive units, which I might get started on tomorrow night.
