My first Voron

[smirk]

Glad that you got it sorted, a good reminder about having decent cables

That inspires me to try my second camera again. I built an unshielded extension for my OV5640 and it didn't work. It's sitting in the spares box. maybe a longer shielded USB pigtail will work.

would you mind sharing stl for this camera bracket? Thanks!

I uploaded it to Usermods

If you do, the second view is definitely an added value

After I gave the exhaust a nicer fan cover and the windows and doors are mounted, I'm probably done with the hardware for the time being. I also mounted the cover for the electronics compartment, I used the usermod with the magnetic holders for this

 

Now it's time to tweak, tweak, tweak... 

[claudermilk]

That's a nice, clean looking back panel. Got the stl for that fan cover?

Of course, I uploaded it to the files

Now he has moved from the workshop to his place. What I don't really like are the door hinges, the doors aren't really held tight. But now I'll deal with Ellis' guide and wait for the serial number

 

[smirk]

That's a nice touch printing the request

[mvdveer]

Brilliant, and a very nice looking printer indeed.Well done

[Buurman]

thats a good looking Voron right there, but I do wonder why you have 4 zero's on the front  

Looks great!

Yesterday I had my first little setback: I printed a cube with time lapse and park position on the back and it became the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
at 20mm height about 2mm offset to the side. After looking for something I found the cause: On the A-Drive both grub screws of the pully were completely out. B-Drive was still stuck.
I've now glued them in place with screw lock. I probably would have done better with all of them, but you're always smarter afterwards.
I'm just surprised that he printed individual objects cleanly

[Buurman]

yup, this is #1 of errors caused, these screws WILL come loose if you dont use loctite or something of the sort.

Also mentioned in the manual, pretty well, its not a fun job, but you have to do your other pulleys for sure, it will otherwise bit you in the ass sooner or later, and thats no fun during a 36 hour print or so

I must have overlooked this note in the manual 

Will definitely secure the screws where I can get it without disassembling the whole printer again to minimize the risk

I know, manuals are for suckers... I will mention it in my build/guide here also again, just to make sure...

[Stadi]

 

I completely ignored the text 

But experience teaches you, let's see if I can still get a hold of everyone

Incidentally, a great thing your threat

I am at my tenth Voron build and still learning, mostly about my OCD, but also still improvements  

We call it a journey here, I start to believe we may never really arrive... but its a fun trip!! hahaha!

[mvdveer]

Love the journey - never a dull moment. Just fried a motherboard by absentmindedly plugging in a LED incorrectly. That is why OCD=GOOD @Buurman

I must be a BIG sucker then. Read the Manuel front to back first, then again, then start the build religiously following instructions. Talk about OCD wii you?

Like @Buurman we are always learning, my learning was that locktite eats ABS (probably a lot of other plastics as well). Perhaps less of an issue with wholly metal assemblies like grub screws into pulleys (as there's no plastic) but I found my fat fingers, cack-handedness meant no matter how careful I was there was always a little leakage, spread, blobs. You name it. If I didn't want locktite on it, I ended up with locktite on it. Think of a toddler covered in choclote and little choclotately finger prints all over your house (well perhaps not quite that bad)

There are plastic safe locking agents (that still allow for dissasembly) but I found then inordinately difficult to source in the UK (most seemed to be shipped form the US at huge cost). Europe might will be better.

Now having said that (and perhaps it's my paranoia) the issue I noted (even with plastic safe stuff) was the intended use and the means of curing. The regular screw lock cures without oxygen (anaerobically) and I think it is the chemicals they use for this "oxygen free" curing process that eat the ABS. A lot of the plastic safe stuff was actually intended to be tamper-evident locking that you would paint onto the assembly externally and therefore requires oxygen so basically no real use for the "airless" environment inside a threaded screw.

Also, don't be tempted to use superglue (anaerobic and plastic safe). Again a mistake I've made in the past and I now have several trophy stepper motors with gears that will never come off.

SSSSH! That's a secret! You're a GOM you never admit to reading the manual....you just know because of your superior [age related] wisdom. I'm sure that rule #2 of the GOM manual!??

[mvdveer]

I sincerely repent great master of GOM. For my penance, I will build another Voron,modified to GOM standards
