Voron2.4 GE5C Z Joint Remix
This is a remix of Hartk1213's Voron2.4 GE5C Z Joint.
https://github.com/VoronDesign/VoronUsers/tree/master/printer_mods/hartk1213/Voron2.4_GE5C
Update 5/27/2023: Thanks to the comments and concerns regarding this from reddit, especially the strength of the split joint, I redesigned this so it should be stronger (certainly feels stronger). To strengthen the split part, I moved the split up towards the top (instead of along the center of the bearing. I suggest using some superglue and it should be very strong (I had to cut the bearing out of one).
The original design from Hartk1213 is great, and this is just a different take on it. The primary difference is that the bearing is moved up (higher than the MGN9 carriage), and back just a fraction of a mm (which would otherwise interfere with the carriage). The reason for moving it up and back was to keep it in alignment with the lower belt clip from Voron CAD file. With this design, I was also hoping to hold the bearing in place in all directions, and it seems to be very well held in the parts I printed (there is no play). But to allow for a printable part, I had to split the joint. The split is designed with a lot of surface area where glue can be applied, to better hold it together.
This design is an almost ground up remix, so some dimensions are changed from the original model. I used the STEP file from the Voron Github to assist with setting up the alignment of the parts.
There are two versions provided:
The basic version has no locking tabs and can be assembled using glue. This version is named “Voron_GE5C Z joint_REMIX-4H.stl”. The other version is designed with locking clips (this is the version I used). It is named “Voron_GE5C Z joint_REMIX-4H-CLIPS.stl”, and is also designed to be glued. I feel this version will be a bit stronger, since it has a mechanical connection as well. The clip version will need a bit of persuasion to snap together (I just gave it a good couple of hits on the desktop, but closing it in a vice may also work). If you don't have luck snapping it together, try the basic version. BOM (for each z-joint)
(1) M5x25mm BHCS (though other lengths will work with different spacers) (4) M3x16 SHCS to mount the joint to the Z-carriages (1) GE5C bearing (see note below about the cheap ones) (2-3) M5 1mm spacers (or washers if they are similar in size) Optionally you can use some M5 aluminum spacers instead of the washers, and different length M5 screws. In the parts pictured, I used M5x25mm screws, and some M5x8x5mm spacers (though I plan to swap them for M5x8x3mm spacers). Note that the number of spacers and length of screws will depend on the stack height of your lower belt clips + the thickness of the AB joints and the tensioners. So YMMV, and I recommend measuring your parts before deciding on a proper length of M5 screw, and how many spacers or washers will work in your particular application.
I recommend printing these in ABS with 100% infill and supports touching the build plate. You may be able to get away with no supports if you have your settings tuned and your printer can print bridges without issues. Additionally, (in Cura) I used Slicing Tolerance “Exclusive” and set the Wall Ordering to “Outside to Inside", which helps to produce parts which are closer to the designed size. It is a good idea to run a flow calibration and horizontal expansion calibration prior to printing these, which will also help if you find the parts do not fit the bearing well. The parts should be oriented as shown. After printing, poke out the single layer of bridge material in the mounting holes to clear them for the M3 screws.
The parts are not oriented for printing.
As pictured, I am using M5x25 BHCS, as well as a 5mm M5 spacer (which I plan to swap for a 3mm M5 spacer). I also ordered some IGUS GE5C bearings since I found that more than half the bearings in the pack of no-spec GE5C bearings I got from Ali, have very noticeable play. I found 4 that were OK enough to install, but they will be replaced with the IGUS bearings at some point. You can also find ABEC-7 rated GE5C bearings a bit cheaper on West3d.com (but for the price difference I'd just get the IGUS bearings). I'm still in the process of building my Voron 2.4 R2, which is slow going since I keep finding things to make or remix for it (that is not a complaint :D). So I have not fully tested this, but I did re-align the gantry after installing these and found no issues with interference.
If you like this, please post a make over on Printables, which will get me a bit closer to my first spool of Prusament. Please also provide feedback which may help to improve the design if I have time to revisit it in the future. There is currently no hall effect (magnet) version of this model.
The STEP file is included for easy remixing.
You can see what other projects I have going on by checking out my blog here. I'm also documenting my Voron 2.4 R2 build here (but it's been a slow going process).

Beefcake Handle Version 2 - Extra Heavy Duty Handle for Extra Heavy Vorons
My printer weighs close to 100lbs and half of that is glass panels. I don't trust current handle designs for that kind of weight but I needed something to make my printer movable. Each one needs 2 screws: 2 x m4-18mm and 2 x m4 t-nuts.
The handle is designed to load the extrusions along the inserted ridges. The screws are mostly there to keep it fully inserted; in fact, the handle clips on the frame and hold there without the screws!
These handles will make it possible for two people to firmly hold the printer and carry it. STL needs to be mirrored to make a proper pair and 2 pairs needed for a full set.

LED clipping rails for 250 300 and 350 frames
These are designed to clip into 2020 extrusions and have a 12mm trough to accommodate 11mm LED strips of the most generic kind. a set of 3 is required to cover your horizontal rails. They clip pretty hard. I suggest printing just 1; interrupt the print after the first clip is done and test on your extrusions to make sure it clips but not unreasonably hard. You can use "horizontal expansion" setting in your slicer to adjst the fit. Print them standing up and with a wall width of 0.5mm: this is required for the plastic to comply when pushed in the slot.
** This is meant as a permanent fixture: be careful when testing as I was only able to remove them by sliding off the end. It would suck to have to disassemble your frame **

Mini Stealth - Orbiter 1.5
This toolhead scales down the body of the Stealthburner to a size which fits into a V0.1/V0.2. Fully assembled it weighs about 80 grams less than the original. It is designed around the Orbiter 1.5 extruder and has versions for the Phaetus Dragonfly, Dragon and Rapido HF hotends as well as versions for the Mosquito and the Revo Voron hotends. It incorporates a status LED as well as two for print visibility.
There are now two hex pattern inlays based on the design by 3DP-MAMSIH and a tutorial on how to apply them to the shroud. The negative body feature of Prusa/Super Slicer can also be used to create a crop-top version of the shroud as described at the end of the tutorial.
I have added new stretched versions that should fit the Rapido UHF, Dragon UHF and the VolcoMosq hotends. The Dragon UHF and Rapido UHF hotends can fit in the same shroud. The UHF hotends will reduce Z travel by 8.5mm and the VolcoMosq by 3mm. I cannot verify the fitment so if there are any issues please leave a comment.
It uses a pair of 4010 blowers which I found to produce more airflow than a 5015 blower while being notably less noisy and drawing less current. The depth of these fans do limit Y travel by 3mm on a V0.1 while the door is closed and tophat is on. The width of the main body at its base is also a very tight fit at the extremes of X travel. I have raised my tophat by 20mm which gives the cabling and filament tube plenty of room to breathe. The shroud fits a 3010 hotend fan or a 3007 fan by using a clip-in adapter.
I have also installed this on my Trident. The included files do not address cable management on a Trident or V2.4 but do provide mounting to the MGN12 carriage. The cable chain on a Trident or V2.4 would have to be moved back at least 5mm to clear the extruder stepper motor. There is a separate 'strain_relief' stl for use in the V0.1. There are also x-frame pieces that allow this Mini Stealth to be installed on a Switchwire. The nozzle is moved up by 3mm compared to the official Switchwire due to the stepper motor being so low on the Orbiter extruder but this also allows a BL-Touch to fit into the x-frame pieces.
I have included a magnet mount and additional shroud .stl files to make this compatible with the ZeroClick mod. This toolhead also has versions that allow mounting a differential IR sensor. I have removed the mechanical Z endstop on my V0.1 and use the IR probe as an endstop and it has greatly simplified my homing sequence. There are additional x-frame pieces that allow mounting the Beacon3D probe, Euclid or Biqu MicroProbe for a V2.4, Trident or Switchwire.
The included Blender file shows the entire assembly complete with screws and should answer most basic questions.
Note on MGN-9 installation:
The default 2mm x 10 plastic threading screw is too long for mounting the x-axis endstop. An M2 x 8 does the job fine. For mounting to the linear carriage use four M3 x 6 flat-head screws.
Note: The MGN carriage shown is an MGN-9H, not the shorter MGN-9C used in the V0.1 mod.
Preparation
I recommend using a file to lightly remove any printing artifacts on the mating face of the shroud.
Use a small file to smooth out the break-off edges of the LED PCB and make sure the LED pockets are clear of 'droopy bits'
All three fans will need the wire retention piece clipped so the wires fit into the shroud channels easier.
Differential IR Probe Installation
The IR Probe needs to be screwed into place with two M2.5x8 FHCS before installing any of the fans, except with the VolcoMosq or UHF hotends where the probe needs to be glued on with CA glue. The Y-offset for this probe is 4mm in front of the nozzle and the X-offset is 32mm.
I strongly recommend removing the 3-pin header and soldering wires directly to the probe PCB.
When installed the wires will route out from the back of the IR probe cover to then join with the hotend and fan wires.
I have included a cover to allow a connector at the probe but the wire management will be less than ideal..
Assembly Instructions
After pressing the status LED diffuser into place, install the right part-cooling fan first by feeding the wires through the small hole at the bottom. Then feed the wires for the status LED and hotend fan through before starting to push the LED carrier into position.
Carefully push the status LED carrier as far as it will go and press the fan into position while making sure not to pinch the part-cooling fan wires. Then press the remaining LEDs into their slots. (I measure out 35mm of wire to connect these LEDs together)
Here is another view also showing where the hotend fan wires fit.
Insert the second part-cooling fan and splice the wires together with the first fan.
Install the hotend with at least two M2.5x6 screws (M3x6 for the Revo Voron). The heater cartridge should be installed away from the LEDs to avoid overheating them.
( ** don't forget the PTFE tube )
Gather the wires together and secure them with the first zip-tie.
(it helps to insert a snipped zip-tie through the the hole and yank it through with pliers to remove printing artifacts from inside of the channels)
Loop the wire bundle back around and add in the LED and hotend fan wires. Use two more zip-ties to secure everything in place. ENSURE to leave room for the extruder by lifting the loop of wires up and out of the way as shown. More space is much better than not enough. (Don't forget the PTFE tube)
Pre-assemble the extruder pieces before installing into the shroud. Use two M3x8 BHCS to install the Orbiter 1.5 extruder. It helps to have both screws in the Orbiter before putting it in place. Start the screw by the latch and then the blind screw should be easier to align.
Gather all of the wires together and then use a zip-tie to secure them to the motor-bridge. Leave a little slack in the extruder wires.
Install the strain_relief with two M3x6/8 screws and the cable_door with a M3x10/12 screw.
Close the cable door with a M3x6 screw and screw in the extruder tensioning thumb screw.
Use two M3x40 BHCS to secure the toolhead to the x-carriage in a V0.1/V0.2. For installation in a Trident or V2.4 use two M3x50 BHCS.
Happy Printing!

221-415 WAGO Mount with Labels (REMIX)
These are some WAGO 221-415 holders, which are just a remix of the WAGO holders in the Voron Github (here).
Since these models are designed to work with electrical components (WAGO blocks), use these models at your own risk.
The stock 2020 rail WAGO mounts included in the official Voron files fit the WAGO 221-415 blocks perfectly. So well that I had to break the first one I printed to remove the precious WAGO's, when I remixed the design, and needed them out, to test it. The models here are just modified from the original Voron design, I did not change the parts of the models which hold the WAGO blocks (since that works well).
There are really only 3 changes from the original design incorporated into this remix. The first change was to create a 4x415 block (as well as a 2x415 block). Then I added some taller walls between the WAGO's, and label holders. The walls are there to give connections a bit of extra protection from getting bumped. The last change is the label holders, which are designed to be used with Brother P-Touch 12mm labels, but other labels would also work if they can be made to fit. Since the labels may not stick well to a bumpy printed surface, they are retained by small frames which will slide over them. A dab of superglue could be used to hold the frames if there are no plans to change the labels.
There are three sizes and the label frames are the same between them (just print as many frames as needed). The design shown in the pics is the one I used in my Voron 2.4 R2 build, and is slightly different that the models here. But I only updated the design slightly, so that all the WAGO's have individual frames and higher walls between them in the models posted here (compared to the model I used which has two WAGO's sharing one label frame).
The STEP file is included for easy remixing.
You can check out some of my other projects in progress (and completed projects as well), on my blog here. I'm still building my Voron 2.4 R2 and am working on a few other designs related to it. If you want to help me get to my first spool of Prusament, you can add a make over at Printables for this design.

Hex mesh skirts for voron 2.4, with matching fan grills and Z motor covers.
Hex mesh skirts for Voron 2.4, with matching fan grills and Z motor covers. The skirts are obviously remixed versions of the default Voron designs. The fan grill and motor covers are my own creations.
The center, side, fan supports have been modified so that they fit onto the printer backwards. You will need to install one additional heat set insert into the front of the fan (4 total in the front), and add 3 to the back. Three m3x8 screws hold the fan into the support from the backside, and four m3x8 screws hold the fan grill onto the front.
Included is a model file for a 6020 fan blank. This blank will allow you to mount the grills on the side opposite that which has the fans, while maintaining the same appearance as the side with the fans.
For multi-color prints, just swap out your filament at the layer above the hex mesh.
I have included .stp files, to make it easier for anyone who would like to remix.

DRO Style, Side-Mounting, Housing for Official Raspberry Pi 7 inch Touchscreen
This is an "expert mod" and should only be attempted if you understand the risks involved, which include:
-ruining your printer's frame, which means starting over your project... The mod requires you to drill through your frame. I suppose the cable could be routed outside but, hey, in for a penny...
-dealing with RF interference on the usb lines which may produce hard to detect issues: The Raspberry Pi is going to be housed with the screen so the USB lines need to be passed back down in the cable to connect the main board and the webcam: care needs to be taken here to reduce RF interference so it involves wrapping wires in foil tape.
also, the actual print is challenging because it includes aspects of 'print-in-place' that require good temperature tuning to succeed: the cover is printed in place with the main case and need to be broken out with tools after printing. If you are good enough to drill your frame, I'm sure you'll figure out the print...
I doubt anyone will try this one but I'm putting it out there given the amount of work this was to perfect. So I could go on with details but I'll stop here. PM me if you want build this and have questions.
So for the uninitiated, a DRO is a computer you add to a machine tool to make it partly CNC and generally looks like this:
It is typically hanging around on the sides and most importantly, at eye level !
40mm x 10mm fan in fashionable brown 😉 snaps in tight
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Wow, that's an honor, I hope you like it. Here is a bunch of extra info on that. did you look at the STL's ? what do you think of the print-in-place cover?
As it is now, the base piece is sized for my thick enclosure at 7mm. This can be adjusted:
Also, I did not test it yet because I'm waiting on parts to finish a bunch of peripheral stuff all at once when I put the printer out of commission. It should be next weekend. I'm pretty sure the Rpi will fit ok but I have a little doubt about the clearance between the fan and the pi's pins. I used drawings to figure out clearances but I may have did it a bit tight. The cover may need modifications but all the other parts are tested and working fine.
to separate the cover from the main body, you need to pry it from the inside from under the screw posts. if your print settings are just right, it pops off with moderate force. to do this, I placed the part in an open vice and pried with one of these:
drill size is 9/32" or 7mm or 7.5mm max. drill at high speed and low pressure to prevent sudden biting, take breaks to prevent melting of the drill guide
The cable I used is a leftover from industrial worksites. the passages are for a 7mm cable so anything smaller than that will work. you will need to splice usb cables somewhere in there so take care of adding shielding, especially where the cables pass near the z motors at the corner of the base
for the base: 2 x m3 t-nuts and 2 x m3-12 screws
for the arm and main body joints, 2 x m3-30 and 2 x m3-12
for the face: 4 x m3-8 and for the cover 2 x m3-12
also, the screen's included m2.5 brass posts are too long by almost 2mm and need to be replaced. -->testing needed but I got an assortment box:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XX28ZZR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Finally got the time to get it working:
power management: I soldered on the monitor's PCB cause I had no space to plug on the header. I added 2 pairs of wires for the Pi and for the fan :
USB:
For cables, I just used 2 spare USB A-B cables from a dusty box. Try to get the thinnest possible wires that are shielded.
Here is a suitable choice for a spool of generic USB 2.0 shielded wire:
https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/cnc-tech/2725-2828-BL-01000-A/6023708
Since the cable needed a splice in any case, I bought 'Type-A' USB connectors to make my own cable termination:
https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/adam-tech/USB-AP-S-RA-SMT/9832307
Keep the wires as short as possible. I used a ferrule to join up the sheathings from both cables, which includes stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cotton and mylar... It can't be soldered !
Hot-Snot for that extra Chineseum touch also, I soldered a solid copper rod between the two connectors for strength. you can see it through the snot on the right side
As for the other ends of the cables, I just did a simple soldered splice with heat shrink: made them as short as possible, as straight as possible, and I introduced 1 turn between the data lines in the joint and shielded with foil tape.
RF shielding and hot-snot hider: it's just aluminum foil tape:
All working! looks awesome!

Roller Spool Holder for Switchwire
I designed this roller spool holder for the Switchwire after modifying and existing 2.4 roller spool holder to make it easier to print.
Roller (1 req'd) should be printed vertically. I chose gyroid infill as it doesn't cross over infill lines that've already been printed like cubic that can potentially knock the part off the print bed. Use standard Voron print specifications.
Pegs (2 req'd) for the ends should be printed vertically. I increased the perimeters to 6 so that I didn't need infill and also added a brim to further stabilize the parts during printing.
The Roller Holder (1 req'd) should be printed with the flat side down. You will need, at a minimum, supports for the hook and stub that mount into the Spool Holder Bracket. I used the default supports in SuperSlicer.
Bearings: Bearings are 8mm ID x 22mm OD x 7mm wide sealed ball bearings. Two required.
Spool Holder Bracket: This is the standard Voron Design spool holder bracket for the Switchwire. Print per Voron specifications.

FYSETC Carbon Fiber Tube End Plugs and Rail Install Tools for the Voron 2.4 R2
These parts are designed to be used with a FYSETC Carbon Fiber X-Axis Tube, which I bought on sale at AliExpress for my Voron build, before realizing it would be a bit of a pain to assemble due to the design. These parts resolve most of the problems I expected to have, and went together well, when I built the XY joints and the X rail. I used the official models to help with the design and hole placements. Thanks to the Voron team for providing the design files and all their work in creating the Voron series of printers!
Before continuing, please note, use these parts at your own risk. They are by no means perfect and you can, if you wish remix this or use another method (STEP file is included). This worked for me and so I am posting it here, but I am still building my printer.
The parts include a model for an “plug” which holds three M5 locknuts and M5 washers, and two tools which are designed to assist with installing the MGN12 linear rail. The plugs stay in the final part.
Two plugs are needed and they can be interchanged between left and right sides of the rail. There are stops on the plugs, which I considered removing, however they help to keep them from going in too far during installation. I suggest printing one, and then testing it in the tube. If it is too tight, you can try calibrating the flow and then the horizontal expansion which will help get it to the correct size (the plugs should be 16.87mm in width). I printed them in PETG using a 0.6mm nozzle, 3 walls and 30% gyroid infill, since these should be robust. The plugs have holes designed within the parts, which are there to help fill up the areas around the nuts, since these areas need to be almost solid.
The tools are used by setting M3 locknuts in the pockets of the “A” tool, and then setting M4 washers on top (I used M4 instead of M3 since the M3 washers I have are too small to do much). Make sure the nuts fit snug but not tight, otherwise you will have a problem removing the tools.
I recommend doing a test before using the tool, by tightening down a few of the locknuts installed in the “A” tool, using some M3 screws, checking to see if doing so will cause the nuts to spin out. If they do spin out, DO NOT USE THE TOOL, since during installation there will not be a way to tighten the nuts down if they spin out. If the nuts do spin out in a test, then you can try adjusting the flow and horizontal expansion (if the holes are too large), or increase the strength of the part using more walls, more infill, higher temp, or use a different material. It is also possible that the nuts being used are different than the ones I used when designing this (the M3 locknuts I used were approx 5.42mm flat to flat, and the model is designed with 5.65mm flat to flat pockets).
Once tested, the “A” and “B” tools are then placed together, and both are then inserted into the tube and aligned with the holes for the linear rail. Note that the “B” model should have the groove facing the front of the tube where the rail will mount (this groove is there to allow the tool to pass by the screws when removed - see pics). If the tools go in too tightly, do not force them. Remove them, and either sand them down, or recalibrate flow and horizontal expansion for the material being used. Take the time to do this right, and if you don't feel this will work, please do not continue, since getting the nuts removed once installed will be a problem with or without a tool.
Once the tools are in place (and loaded with the locknuts and washers), the rail can be installed using M3x10mm screws (and M3x12mm screws on the holes that do not go through). I only printed one set, however if you want to print two sets, you can install screws on both ends of the rail at the same time, otherwise just do one side and then the other.
To remove the tools, use longer M3x12 screws in the holes that are not through holes, these will help to push the tool away from the nuts. I would start these longer screws with the “B” tool installed almost all the way, but remove the “B” tool before fully tightening the longer screws. If tightening down the M3x12 screws does not loosen the “A” tool enough to remove it, you can use a long (and thin) flat screwdriver, or even a folded over wire coat hanger to help pop it off the remaining nuts. It may also be easier to start with the innermost screws, remove the tools, reload and reposition, and then do the screws near the edges, if removing the tool is challenging.
Please refer to the pics to see how the tools work together, or ask a question in the comments.
As for whether it's worth it to use the FYSETC CF tube, I'm not sure yet. I forgot to weigh it before assembly, so I don't know how much is being saved, but it does seem pretty robust and I'm sure its lighter than the aluminum extrusion. The pic showing the weight of 438g is just the tube, rail, screws, nuts, washers and plugs as shown in the pics, it does not include any other parts like the printed XY joints. In any case, this is not an endorsement of the FYSETC product, only some parts which may help to actually use it.
The STEP file is included for easy remixing.
You can find more info and pics for this thing at my blog here. I'm also documenting my Voron 2.4 R2 build here (but it's been a slow going process due to some other issues).

Belt Clip Shim for the CHAOTICLAB CNC Tool-free XY-Axis Tensioner for Voron 2.4
I'm building a Voron 2.4 R2 and purchased the CHAOTICLAB CNC Tool-free XY-Axis Tensioner for Voron 2.4, which is a nicely made part (milled from aluminum) with a knob to adjust the tension of the XY belts. Mine did not ship with any belt clips, and I don't think they are typically included, so I first tried using the stock clips. However when I assembled my XY axis, I found that the 30mm screws used to hold the XY tensioner to the Z-blocks were 2mm too long. This is because the CHAOTICLAB XY tensioner has a thickness of 3mm where it connects to the 2020 extrusion, while the stock is 5mm thick. Because this 2mm difference affects the stack height for the Z-carriage mounts, I thought I should do something about it. The simplest way to address this is to thicken the lower Z-belt clip (which is 5.6mm thick) by 2mm, so that's what this part does.
I included a version which adds 2mm (7.6mm overall), and another which adds 1.9mm (7.5mm overall).
I'm still building my printer, so things may change, but this seems like such a simple thing I doubt there will be any issues.
