Hi! I couldn't find any thread for the Kirigami bed with search, so I thought I would make one here. If it should be somewhere else, could a mod please move it? So anyway, Having recently completed my Voron 0.1, I've been noticing a steady decrease in print quality. In particular, a recent Voron Cube was almost a millimeter too short! So while looking around, I noticed that the bed mount had come loose. Unfortunately, the standard bed mount is held together by many 3mm bolts and nuts, and few of them are easily accessible and nearly all of them had become quite loose. Fortunately, I had previously decided on a Kirigami bed mount, it recently arrived and I had not only printed all of the plastic parts but also sourced the 2mm x 4mm bolts needed to attach it. Getting the old bed mount out was not easy. Once removed, I also found that the anti-backlash nut had quite a lot of friction, which I had read about in a different thread here. Reducing the excess friction was as simple as clipping the anti-backlash spring down by about 1/3 and installing the Kirgami was relatively easy... because I had a tiny ball-end allen wrench. (1.5mm?) I thought to weigh the assembles while they were out: The standard mount with all plastics was about 120 grams and the Kirigami with an optional plastic front was 95 grams. All back together and at least printing as well as it was. Wonderful! And, should the Kirigami work itself loose, all of the bolts are easily accessible from the front but bolts in metal parts don't usually do that. Sorry, I didn't take pictures during assembly. The thing on the Right is a NeverMore air de-stinkifier thing with activated carbon and a fan.
