Marathon build of my future V0

[Toftwin]

Hello everyone,

I will try to share with you this big adventure of my first Voron build and self-sourcing in the same time.

 

I had watched a lot of videos about this printer.

My favorite (for the moment) are :

Greg's Maker Corner Voron 0.1 Playlist

ModBot : Why I Am Building A Voron 3d Printer (And Why You May Want To)

247 Printing : VORON0.1 Kits COMPAIRED: PARTS and BUILD Experience (PART 1)

 

To find LDO resellers, I just take  a look here and I had placed my first orders at Caribou3d in Germany and Lecktor in Estonia.
My surprise is that European resellers are cheaper than Aliexpress for the frame for example. And with those LDO products (frame + all stepper motors), I hope I'm starting with a strong base. In return, you have to pay shipping.

Other surprise, for the main board, I have choosen a BBT SKR Pico board and its price on Big Tree Tech web site is 30% less (shipping included) than in Aliexpress.

 

To be continued ...

I found Greg's video series on his V0.1 build really interesting and a great help, he too has fat sausage fingers as well, so I absolutely concur with your choices

Welcome - looking forward to following your journey, The build is so much more satisfying by self-sourcing the parts.

Have to have a look at this board as @smirk is using this in his build as well. Now I have an excuse to build another Voron 0

I'm starting to realise how tiny will be this printer ... and why some of you talk about "saussage fingers"

Tiny but potent

@mvdveer I have no doubt about it ... it's just that the frame parts gave me, for the first time, an idea of the final size of this printer.
