New vorons

[sleepster217]

Hi I am wondering if any one has herd of and new voron builds coming up as a mate of mine and my self would like to build a bigger printer past the 350 I did debate about stretching a Trident but concerned to getting config right and getting build plates etc the rat rig looks nice but no one ships them here to Australia that I am aware of and damm they get expensive the hight is not such a concern for both of us mainly the build plate would like something enclosed 400 to 450 even 500 as bigger is always better hey

I have already re-engineered the cad drawing to 400mm and 500mm bed sizes. Having built the 400mm.

It's only technically a change in lengths of extrusions, linear rails and bed plate/heater nothing complicated. 

Those files are not for public consumption though, been bitten in the ass about that before sorry

The Voron Design website allows you to select a non-standard size and then gives you all the details. The only part, as I understand it, you will need to handle is the bed dimensions. Even with this, there is a drawing that describes how to make the changes.

There are mods out there that change the belt width which, as I understand it, would be a good idea on machines larger than 350mm.

The voron 2.4 R2 you can build it with any size bed. Mine is 350x350 x500. The gantry, belts motors and everything has to get bigger. Heating the bed uniformly as well would be a challenge.

If you are willing to be patient, the Voron team has been working on the Phoenix for a while. No idea when it might be released, but it's MUCH bigger than 350.

Just saw this update on that thread.

We're running it as an internal beta. There are multiple operational at this point. Two should be at RMRRF in a week, but it'll still be a bit before it hits a full release. It is not usually our way to put out public betas, spec sheets, or CAD before the entire release package is ready.

That sounds promising.

Having watched this video Voron Phoenix

I love being proved correct, as anyone who wishes to look back on my old posts here you will see, I presented my own version of "TAP" with cross-slide bearings after tap was first released..... for the lead Voron guy to admit that a linear rail (for the tap application) was suboptimal is like vindication

I wonder what the advantaged are 4 the 4 build plate setup is over the large single I would assume cost ?

I think cost, but also logically you could print smaller parts and only power one of the 4 beds
