Are you guys going Bowden or Direct Drive on your Voron? My friend suggested Direct, as does everything else I’ve seen.
Direct drive. The stepper motor was out of stock in the US, so I ended up ordering it from China (from stepperonline). Only shipping option it gave was DHL. $20 shipping on an $8 motor.
Not even trying to have a budget at this point. Mostly what's left to order at this point is the hotend and boards. A long interview with the guy from E3D popped up in my youtube feed and I listened to it while getting ready for work this morning. Sounds like they are coming out with a new hotend, possibly with copper heatsinks, possibly a replacement for the V6. I will wait, as my black extrusion won't be here until May and will very likely be the last thing to arrive.
Been dealing with personal stuff and long work hours, but I hope to have Voron parts coming off the mp mini select by this weekend. I just try to accomplish one thing a day with the one free hour I have.
The Marlin firmware build I had been using became corrupted somehow, so I started over with Visual Studio as Atom is no longer recommended.
As of this morning, the mp mini had the new board installed with a fresh Marlin build and seemed to be working fine.
This evening I will finish my leveling process of printing .3mm tall squares in each corner and measuring them with calipers, then print a new hotend mount out of ABS so it won't sag.
The enclosure gets to and holds at 90 degrees Fahrenheit fairly quickly with only the bed heating it. Not sure how much higher it will go when left alone for hours.
