Artillery X1s to Voron Franken-Trident

[PFarm]

@mvdveer Inspired, multiple projects at one time, so why not start another one 

I had four Artillery X1s that I no longer used. No matter how modded they were, they never printed quality parts like the Trident and V2. I dismantled them and salvaged usable parts. It will be a little oddball since I'll use most of the X1 extrusion, so I may need to alter some parts to fit. Extrusion consists of 2040 and 2060, I use the stepper motors and leadscrews, and I have a spare BTT Octopus with 2209 mounted in one of the X1 and the power supply, so I'm using that as well. I have a BTT U2C for Canbus and a Klipper Expander for caselighting. I'll use TAP that I removed from V2 for initial setup, then convert over to Beacon.

Started printing parts, Spartan Obsibian Black Sparkle and Esun Peak Green

A bit of progress, extrusion cut, drilled and assembled.

I found these two links for wiring and component mounting of the electronic bay. With this system, I can leave the bottom panel off!

That's good to hear, I think the other two printers will get changed out eventually.

Really interested to hear more, did it work out? I am about to pick up 2 additonal Sidewinder tomorrow. Also looking to convert to a Trident style.

The project got put aside for now but no reason it shouldn’t work with a new bed plate and extruder.
