Hello from Switzerland

Hey, German guy living in Switzerland. I'm getting into 3D printing and will be building a 0.2 soon. Already thinking about ways to modify it without even having the pieces here getting into the hobby a bit too fast

Welcome to the forum. Good to hear you are entering this amazing world of printer mods 3d printing. Please share your mods build with us in a build diary. Lots of helpful friendly people around to admire your build and help if needed.

Welcome to the forum!

While it is recommended to build to spec first, then mod, we all feel the pull. For my build, I carefully chose a few mods to incorporate into the initial build--mostly those that would not impact initial tuning so any help I needed would not be complicated by mods.

It's hard to contain oneself when you're getting into a new and interesting hobby like 3D printing. Lot's of fun, plenty of challenges and a few headaches. What's not to like, right?

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to following along with you on your journey.

Welcome aboard! Good advice from @claudermilk but glad to see you cutting to the chase. The stock Vorons are excellent machines, but often times it is easier to start [modding] from the outset. Trying to retrofit things can bring their own challenges especially on something as "small" as a V0. Like everyone else looking forward to seing your adventure.

Thank you for the tips I will start building an almost stock Voron 0.2. Ordered an LDO V0S1 kit and sourced some parts for the 0.2 upgrade myself as I didn't want to wait for the V0.2 kit. The only mods I will include in the beginning are a lighter XBeam, even though it doesn't bring any performance on a V0, and some aluminium compound panels.

But I already have some updates I would like to do if I find any problems with my build. Like belts for the z axis, maybe even the tri belt mod to have an auto leveling bed. But that depends on how often I have to adjust those bed screws. And I have the feeling that the Revo could be limiting if trying to print a bit faster.

You are correct in that, E3D shows 11mm/s^3 as the flow limit. The Revo is not a high flow hot end. If that is important my understanding is the Rapido is a good alternative--though I have no experience with it myself.
