Looking for a Voron 0.1 kit

[TobyCWood]

Per Sizers suggestion in another thread I looked for an LDO kit. None I could find. The only pre-sourced kits I could find were from China... and those did NOT come with preconfigured motor cables. Ever try to make your own motor cables???

Any other suggestions???

A lot I found via Google were sold out.

Gonna seem like a poster boy hah but genuinely no affiliation. I just used this distribution list on discord to find my UK supplier. 

Here are the US ones. If you already checked them all then I guess its a sign of their popularity hah!

I posted this in the other thread, but thought I'd drop it here as well.

As of this morning, Nemgrea said he has 2 kits in stock, ready to ship.

Toby,

I have a Voron V0.1 belted Z drive build with a Mandala Roseworks bed, real mosquito. I think it started out as a Vivedino/Formbot kit and then I started to make upgrades including custom-cut panels from SendCutSend, all SLS parts from iMaterialize. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLj-jvflvE4/ I have various pictures on my Instagram account, I will have to see what YouTube videos I have. Uses Fluidd for the UI instead of the stock Klipper UI.

Hiwin rail on the X-axis because I did not like the LDO rails included in the kit. I switched to belt drive on the Z to get away from the Z wobble. If you can't find anything I have been thinking about parting with it to work on other projects. I do have some new ABS and aluminum panels that I have not yet installed after the belt drive mods. Happy to send lots of pictures. Obviously, it is not a cheap build but if you ask Myron or a few others in here that know me from years on Discord they will tell you I am pretty stupid when it comes to setting prices to sell things!  LOL I like the printer but I am working on my own brand of printer so I will buy other machines just to learn from, be it how to build them and what areas can be improved even if something simple like wiring. I just sent one of my machines to Iowa so looking forward to their feedback. I was really puckering on the shipping for that machine, box was 25" x 25" x 30", 50# with 10 of that just being in protection!

That reminds me I still need to sell my Craftbot 3!

Not really a kit but would require taking apart one section to get the new ABS panel in around the belted Z mod.

Thanks,

John

Toby, 

I'd like to also suggest you check mnlasercutting.com.  The owner of that shop is the lead designer for the Voron 0.

I'm lookin at it. Too bad about the bed ... I really do not like the bed. Tiny build area too for the cost.

[david mason]

;) buy the kit and the extras to do a Tiny-m or a salad fork mod! (quad gantry levelling v0 or 3 point levelling bed v0)

But yes cost per cm^3 is very high. Conversely though I find I use it all the time because most of due time i just need one small thing so it's utilisation rate makes up for it for myself. Plus it's tinyness meant it got past the wife check hah!

While I can't comment on the 0.1 kit, I was pretty happy with my Voron 2.4 kit I bought from Formbot3D.  The 2020 rails were exactly the right length and cut perfectly square.  It came with stainless steel screws and while I wouldn't call it a harness, the wiring mostly had all of the plugs installed.  I shortened a few of the wires but other than that I used their plugs.  The cable chains opened easily, it had Moons stepper motors (are those good?).  It did come with a "Vivedino" bed heater (I was expecting a Keenovo), but so far it seems to work well.  The linear rails glide smoothly, the panels were cut perfectly.  It came with Meanwell power supplies, a RPi 3B, BTT Octopus....   Overall the build went really smoothly.  I've only got about 60 hours on the printer so far, and so far I haven't had the desire/requirement to push the speeds at all but overall I'm happy with the kit and the printer.

I'm sure a lot has changed since September when I ordered my kit, but I only waited about 4 weeks.

If you ever want an in person overview/demo of a voron, covid considerations notwithstanding, just let me know.  I'm close enough to make that happen.

Because if the Coron designs, they will never be as cheap as a Creality or Anycubic, even if you buy all of the stuff from China. Also, I would bet that many people that build a Voron spend more on their hot end and extruder combination that it would cost to purchase an entire Ender 3. A genuine Bondtech LGX attached to a Slice Copperhead, for example, is not something you’d find included in a mass-produced, low cost kit printer.

I have always wondered about the Voron 0 though - all of the expensive parts that make a Voron cost what they cost are there, and the parts that the design cuts back on are the cheaper printer components. As they say in shipbuilding, steel is cheap and air is free, so if you can make it bigger, then make it bigger. I guess the smaller bed tightens tolerances on frame movement, belt length, etc. which could (in some circumstances) translate into better mechanical control and fewer print artefacts. For mine though, I’d eat the extra cost and go with a Voron 2.4, which probably represents better bang for buck in terms of print size, without compromising anything.

[David Mason]

It's not designed to be another voron 2.4 though it is FOR people who want a SMALL printer with premium features. I deliberately picked it as my second printer because it has all the capability of my larger ones including speed but fits in the space i have available. I couldn't build voron 2.4 or another ratrig vcore3 becaue it wouldn't fit in the printer cupboard alongside my existing vcore 3 and that is my printing space that i've been allocated hah!

Side note a 2.4 would still cost roughly double the v0.1 even in kit form.

[LukeH]

Well my point was that dividing the cost of a printer by the print volume to get a $/mm^3 value isn’t a good measure of value when trying to compare a Voron 0 with a kit printer like a Ender 3. You can’t say that because an Ender 3 is bigger that the Voron 0 is a waste of money.

That said, I’d personally never build one, mostly because I don’t need an FDM printer that can only print small objects, but everyone’s use cases are different, and that’s totally cool.
