Commitment (self.3dprinting)
submitted 1 year ago by ja2 to c/3dprinting
 

Well, I made a commitment today. After a couple of years on an Ender 3 Pro which is totally a ship of Theseus now, I’m building a #Voron 2.4 r2. Wish me luck! It was either that or a Switch and some games.

This is the next (big) step into getting a little more serious about project work with my kids. I hope it pays off for us 😅

Good luck! I am about 2 months into my 2.4 R2 build. My kids are younger and life is busy, so I'm lucky to get an hour or two every few days to chip away at it. I have everything but my panels on and wiring is done, so I should be powering it up soon.

The build is pretty straightforward. The only real gotcha that I ran into was missing the occasional printed part and not paying enough attention when grabbing 16T and 20T pullies. My generic cable chains were too short, but other than that all the parts fit exactly as intended.
