Voron Trident 350 extremely slow build

[mbunjes]

Told me has never felt this ill in his life.....

 

[mbunjes]

I would appreciate your opinions. I know the Vorons are primarily ABS and ASA printers and I certainly would like to be able to print these materials. However, since my lungs are not the strongest part of my body, I must have a serious  filtering solution in my printer.
I've read about the Nevermore but which one to choose baffles me a bit

Is there a "considered best" solution ?

[smirk]

For me I think the key issue is the carbon that you use in it rather than absolutely which model of Nevermore to go for (I'm sure others will have greater experience in the 2.4, Trident space). However,it wasn't until I looked into the Nevermore that I saw what a jolly treacherous challenge it was source the right sort of carbon. I knew it had a limited life-span but my only prior experience, as a young lad,  with carbon was the stuff you put in fish-tanks (which won't do for a nevermore). Definitely not something to buy off some bloke on ebay/ali and go for an absolutely trustworthy and known vendor.

Looking again at the Nevermore github most of the models are still marked as "works in progress" even though some have more features (like hepa filter), for me that was turn-off. That really leaves a the Nevermore Micro as the "production" model, and I would guess for a [large] trident that would be the V5 Duo. But that it speculation on my part not having a large Voron, for me it was about the carbon.

[mbunjes]

Yes, the V5 Duo looks to be the most effective at the moment.

Lector in Estonia sells carbon especially for this solution :

I've not had any dealings with them but that product looks pucker and suspiciously similar to my UK supplier https://www.onetwo3d.co.uk/product/nevermore3d-carbon/

so I imagine they both source from the same quality source.......(from some bloke on ebay )

The V5 Duo Trident variant is what I built. That variant is really just re-orienting the exhaust a bit. I bought my carbon pellets from DFH, but I think Fabreeko also has the correct type. So far I'm very happy with this mod. The ABS I'm using hasn't been really stinky, but it's even less so and I see my chamber temps come up significantly faster and get to about 10C+ higher than without the Nevermore running.

[mbunjes]

Ok, thanks, I think these are American websites ?

I found these on Amazon and they seem to work perfectly.

How and where do you mount the filtering system ?

[claudermilk]

Yes, they are US-based vendors. 

Here's how I mounted mine.

 

[mbunjes]

I've received all the parts now, including the stealthburner parts. However we're having a heatwave at the moment so I'll resume building when the temperature is a bit more tolerable.

Clearly the GOM within me would say "That's a rubbish excuse, when I were a lad we used to work 29hours a day down the pit in proper hot temperatures and would've been glad of a mere 122F". Unfortunately, it's too hot and I haven't got the energy other than to say "Yup, you're right. Too hot"

I look forward to cooler temperatures and resumption of building.

Good for printing ABS 

[mbunjes]

Well, it's a bit sweaty but I was impatient to start building again.
So here's hoping for rain : the first stealthburner parts.

Careful what you wish for , we had rain and thunder and lightening and it blew up my modem so I fell off t'internet!

[mbunjes]

Looks like you climbed right back up again !

A question 

While assembling the main body of the stealthburner you are supposed to line up the toothed section of the drive gear with the filament path.

There is however a little lateral play in the drive (about 1 mm) is this normal ?

Nevermind, I found the answer.

Tinkering commences :

[mvdveer]

It never ends… Tknkering, mods, tuning, more tinkering. Oh the joy

[mbunjes]

Love it, actually.

 

[mbunjes]

Tiny problem: I bought the stealthburner pcb but I don't have the right cable_cover_for_pcb part. I could have it printed but the price plus shipping is just too much for just one part. Don't know if I can start printing without this part?

As long as the cables are secure and won't catch on anything, I see no reason why you could not print without a cover over the wires. I ran my test prints as seen below without a problem.

 

[mbunjes]

Thought as much. Thank you !

Clockwork 2 finished, waiting for stepper to arrive :

In spite of your very Dutch name, you're not actually from Holland, are you ?
