    Clark Kent dropped by today and dropped off some Super Power's ! ... or was that Royal Mail?? LDO-42STH48-2804AC Super Power Stepper Motor. Only running them with TMC2209's @ 24V 1 amp but so far they are much much quieter!

    Welcome to the forum! You found the right (wrong?) hobby! 3D printing is not just a rabbit hole in itself, but a rabbit-hole-generating endeavor.

    Sorry, I should have linked the new rigid core pieces. I developed them before I came back to the MGN9 parts. The new core pieces are 6mm deeper than the standard cores so they allow the Mini Stealth to sit flat against any x-carriage. They are also very rigid and help my updated DAB operate much more reliably. I am almost done making a full set of MGN9H x-carriages for the new core pieces and I plan on making new x-carriages for MGN9C, MGN12H and MGN12C linear rails.

    There is a clearance issue with the fans and the mount. The fans protrude from the front cover not allowing it to seat against the magnets. Not sure if you have other projects on your plate, I may tray either a spacer or attempt altering the file to be thicker 4.5mm on the top and down the canter

    Hi, I'm a retired engineer and a tinker, and I'm always curious about how everything works. I usually find myself struggling not to go down any rabbit holes. I got involved with 3D printing a few years ago, working for a company making equipment for mega yachts. Before that, I was doing mechanical design for an electronics test equipment manufacturer after spending 5 years at Abbott Labs as a manufacturing engineer. That was after I spent a few years in the Army repairing radar systems. Then did a few years as an electronics tech at Texas Instruments. So I've gotten to see a lot of interesting things along the way. Sorry for the backward history review. 3D printing, I believe, is just beginning its journey to becoming a true fabricator of the future, where it will be involved in everything while being run by an AI. I have been playing around with an Ender 5, which I have modified some. Built an enclosure for it so that I can run the chamber temperatures around 75 °C. My current project is a much-modified Rook with a 300x300x250 build space. I am currently installing a cartographer in it and then changing the belt driven 3-axis build plate to a Trident-style drive system for the build plate. I use Solidworks for all my designing. I'll leave it at that so I don't bore everyone too much. If you're like me, there are never enough hours in the day for everything that I want to do. I look forward to learning and interacting with everyone and sharing any knowledge that's useful that I have. Until next time, Scott, aka Trynagn

    Did a bit more testing this morning with some success; Pulled out the 'B' motor and swapped in one from my Switchwire - a smaller LDO 42STH40-1684AC and resonance at 30mm/s has pretty much gone on a print that was pretty bad for resonance initially so confirmed that this stepper set with this particular frame just does not work at low speeds. So, decisions decisions ... what replacement steppers to get? I don't know if maybe an earlier batch of these motors were noisier but this is the one I have pulled and I tested two different ones:
  40. NikosSprocket
    Finally finished the CPAP air supply system and the noise levels, no numbers, just comparing with my other standard Voron Stealthburner, are satisfactory; see below. I need to set up the umbilical "holders" and music wire before starting calibrations and tests. The motor dome may look massive, but it is only 90 mm thick and 165 mm diameter at the widest point. The hatched area it becomes 5% Gyroid Infill that I will assume has excellent acoustic suppression properties. I used TPE 85A to create all the gaskets, and they made a big difference on noise redaction due to air leaks without them. Btw, the air intake muffler is a modified VzBot v2 muffler but using two "tune" pipes in a single housing and added gaskets. The original design was "whistling" from the air leaks! This thing puts out so much more air that I cannot see using more than 40%; we will see soon

    Or maybe just mount it on the end of the bed like the Milo one. There should be enough Y to reach all of the tools and not many people fixturing parts at the end of the table.
  42. lawson.brian
    Have around 30h on this printer now without the panels printing PLA and still chasing the loud resonance noises at low speeds (30mm/s) - i.e first layer. I can hear it vibrating through the house like an orbital vibrating sander. The steppers for X/Y are LDO 42STH48-2004AC 1.8 deg. My 2.4 runs this size but the 0.9 deg version LDO 42STH48-2004MAH and no issues with that printer for noise on X/Y but that is running 5160's on 24v so not a like for like comparison. Seems to be Stepper X (Motor B) that is worse but I had swapped in a replacement motor (same type) and no difference. I can lift to 35mm/s and it quietens down which is what I am now setting the first layer speed to. Anyone else running this motor and having noise issues? Any other Nema 17 motors that are a lot quieter / low vibration that might be worth a look at? For reference I can run it from 40mm/s through to around 140mm/s (hotend limited) extruding and the noise is good now - just the slow stuff where it is obnoxiously loud. Other then that I have had a play with the stepper wiring pairs, different TMC drivers BTT V1.2 & V1.3, swapped to different motor slots on the MCU, different amps, both 16 and 32 micro steps, re aligned the carriage checked all the bolts etc etc. It basically turns the toolhead into a tuning fork at 30mm/s.

    I was thinking the same thing, maybe have the rapidchanger on a platform sitting on a servo-operated motor.

    Hi. Try to use old sd card manual flash to update the board. https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/software/
  45. Penatr8tor
    @PFarm $300 isn't that bad really and they have the screwing and unscrewing running like a swiss watch. Might be tough to find a place for it. We need the screwing mechanism of the Rapidchange with the carousel of the Milo changer.
  46. PFarm
    @Penatr8tor That correct, they're using the spindle spinning forward or reverse to remove the collet. Like this, more expensive ATC.
  47. Penatr8tor
    I have a feeling all will be revealed on a Steve Builds or some other builders livestream in the near future. Just a hunch. So, after re-reviewing the end of the video where he zooms in... It looks like he's using spindle rotation and Z axis to change the tool and the carousel of tools are indexed by the stepper underneath. Looks like the sequence of events is something like, Remove Tool... 1. Move changer under head 2. Lower head into socket 3. Low RPM spin up in reverse 4. Push head down a couple times briefly so that the cogs mesh and it breaks the collet loose and spins off the collar. New Tool... 1. Rotate carousel to desired tool. 2. Low RPM spin up in forward. 3. Push head down to screw new tool onto spindle and then push down a couple times to engage cogs and tighten the collar. I think the crunchy sound is from some kind of ratchet style torque limiter. So, Yeah... Interesting design.
  48. PFarm
    If you look closely inside, it looks like two halves spring-loaded with cogs.
  49. Penatr8tor
    Yup, had to revert to the old manual flash on occasion.

    • Voron 0.2 Released & Livestream Recording

      New Voron 0.2 Release

      Voron Design just announced the official release of the Voron 0.2 3D printer. This compact and portable machine has a 120x120x120 build volume and utilizes a CoreXY design. It features a low mass direct drive extruder and an enclosed chamber, as well as a 24v DC bed and Klipper firmware.

      One of the major highlights of the Voron 0.2 is the new Mini Stealth Burner toolhead, which supports the Revo VORON, Dragon, Dragonfly BMO, DropEffect XG, and Creality Spider Pro. The drive units have also been updated with a reduction in motor screw count and the removal of the endstop for sensorless homing.

      In terms of the frame, there have been no changes from the previous version. However, the tophat has undergone some significant updates, including an extrusion-based design with hinged panels and cam locks to secure it in place. All panels are 3mm thick and the side panels are now identical.

      The X/Y joints have also been modified, with the tops becoming 1mm smaller to accommodate the Mini Stealth Burner and the endstop block removed for sensorless homing. The bed assembly has undergone some changes as well, with the printed parts being updated and the bed position moved 3mm to the rear.

      Finally, the feet/skirts have been updated with the inclusion of the Trident skirt community mod, and the front idlers now have cam locks added.

      If you are upgrading from the V0.1 version, be sure to check out the configurator on the Voron Design website for a list of necessary parts.

      We hope you enjoy the new and improved Voron 0.2 3D printer!

    • Voron Build Tools Mega-List - 2024 Edition

      Voron Build Tools Mega-List - 2024 Edition

      Researching, purchasing the printer parts of the build list and waiting for parts is only half of the battle. While many Voron builders have many of these tools on hand, and we hop most have familiarity with soldering, there are some tools that make the job MUCH easier, safer, and provide professional quality results. 

      This is the Mega List for all the recommended or required tools for your Voron build.

      First and foremost, crimper are really important for your Voron build. With the amount of wiring required, you will thank yourself to invest in high quality crimping tools. Frequently users ask if tinning and soldering joints is an alternate option. While it may work short term, this is a much greater risk of the joint failing. Typically this is due to the stress of movement, or weakening from the heat created inside the enclosure and around the hot-end during printing.

    • Voron Kit Recommended "Suppliers"

      Voron Kit Recommended "Suppliers"

      This post will be continually updated with the latest and great known information regarding available Voron "Kits". As, clearly defined in any communications, The Official Voron Design does not recommend or prefer any of these vendors. The list here is only identified as those vendors who have been identified as successful builds and full kits that are available.

      Purchase kits at your own risk, knowing that parts can change, often times for the worse, and as is true with my Chinese parts, Meanwell PSU labelled as such, does not mean it's a legitimate Meanwell PSU, same thing with other popular components (like Gates belts) and fasteners.

      While these are not in any specific quality order, they are in order of popularity and availability.
      Note: for best results order from AliExpress from user who have the MOST sales - likely they are the best sourced Kits with the fewest flaws.

      Additionally, and perhaps most importantly for this thread - Yes, sourcing your own parts will increase your build quality, and verify proper function and fitment. This thread is NOT a discussion on pro's and cons of sourcing parts vs buying kits 😃. Let' try our best to stay on topic!
