Finished everything up assembly-wise. Still lots of tuning to do, but I’d say this first print looks phenomenal for not having done any tuning other than Klicky+calibrate_z

Very nice, congrats on the progress!

I was pleasantly surprised to see how well mine printed with minimal tuning. I have a full set of magnetic panel clips printed now, so I’ll have to see if I can get an “finished” picture posted tonight. There’s still more to do (under bed filter/chamber heater, I want to reprint the panel clips and front door latches with somewhat different dimensions, I need to modify the spool Holder, and I need to do something for the rear panel vent), but… hopefully I can try a bigger print that’s something other than printer parts soon.

Thanks!

Yup, still much to do on mine too. Bed clips, skirts, fans, led mounts, camera mounts… It’s fun to tinker some, but I’ll be glad when it’s all calibrated and ready to print reliably. I’ve got some issues here and there with endstops I need to figure out.

Ha, totally agree. I suspect I’m going to quickly get to the point of “good enough” once the filter/chamber heater is in and I get the spool holder updated. I’ve had two prints fail mid print with zero extrusion. Manually pushing filament through the PTFE tube got it fixed. I’m betting the 3kg spool not rolling smoothly was the cause.

What’s going on with your endstops? I had mine miswired initially, but they never worked in that state.

Two different problems. First with y endstop, and not really an issue with the endstop, more the cables. They keep wiggling out of the nook you’re supposed to stuff them into, and that causes them to get pinched when homing. The cable is just thick enough that it prevents the endstop from triggering.

The other is Klicky, I get wildly different readings to the point where it just gives up because the tolerance was exceeded too many times. I’ve checked for loose screws, belt tension, etc., can’t find anything obvious. I’ve basically given up on Klicky and ordered a Klicky PCB kit, hopefully that will fix it.

That’s my guess with the 3kg, too. Probably need a holder with bearings. I plan on printing this holder (https://www.printables.com/model/513779-voron-horizontal-filament-spool-holder-w-608-beari) because I need something a little more forward based, I’ll let you know how it goes.

What kind of printer is this, and where do I get one? Looks like a massive bed!

It’s a Voron 2.4r2! Bed size is 350mm square. I built it from the LDO motors kit. You can find them lots of places. Here’s a link to LDO resellers (https://docs.ldomotors.com/voron/LDO_Voron_Distributors). There are other kit options, too, including West3D and Fysetc.
