Hello for North East Melbourne

[dibs]

I've just started a Voron 2.4 r2 journey that is already not without issues

I've been printing for a few years now. Starting with a self assembled AnyCubic Kossel and then I got a lucky deal on an UpBox+ and now it is time to replace both so naturally a Voron is the next phase.

I also like to work with Arduino and ESP32s. 

Looking forward to the build. However part way through printing my parts, the upbox had a significant part break so if anyone knows a local who does partial parts kits I would like to get the remaining parts asap. 

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum neighbour!  How many parts are you in need of and what colour and material?

Welcome to the forum fellow Melbournian.  I am the South East of Melbourne but like @WINEDS, happy to help out with parts if you’re stuck.

Hi all.
 

Thanks for the warm welcome. Really appreciated.
 

@WINEDS@mvdveer Thanks for the offers. I am hoping I can fix my upbox and resume printing parts before I get to needing them, just waiting on parts to arrive at the moment. If I get stuck though I might take one or both of you up on the offer. At the moment I am printing in black with neon-magenta polymaker for the accents. 

I've ordered the magicphoenix 2.4 r2 CBT kit so I need to workout which parts I don't need to figure out my list of parts I still need to print.
Though I am pretty sure they have a spreadsheet that lists it all.

Anyways, would either of you like to be the offical lubricant advice for my rails etc..  I've read so many posts about it and gone round in circles a few times. I did buy a can of WD40 White lithium but it's a mess to use so that's not looking likely to make the cut at this stage.

The best and only way is to soak them in an alcohol bath and then lubricate them with super lube or the likes.

Here is a worthwhile video to watch:

I use the super lube grease and inject that into the carriage with a syringe and a 18 gauge blunt needle.
