Im looking into building my own Voron myself, but I’m hesitating because there are just so many unknowns for what I want to do. Are you planning on installing multiple toolheads, enclosing it, or adding extras like runout sensors, load cell sensors, etc?
Nope, although I think I read that there is such a mod for the Trident, but that's because it has a fixed gantry. 2.4 is "flying" so I doubt that's possible
I waffle back and forth there. I want to use ABS/ASA, but I have a ton of PLA to use up and I've read that doesn't do so well in an enclosure. At least there are printable clips to help quickly remove the panels
There are a few, but the reviews on YouTube I've seen made them out to be kind of meh. I'm considering building the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder once I'm up and running and tuned. That's an MMU that has a dual filament sensor. You may be able to look at what they're using at the hotend side and adapt it.
For bed leveling? I've not seen that anywhere. There are a few similar mods, e.g. Klicky and Tap. The LDO kit I got has the Klicky parts, so I'll go with that eventually.
Biggest thing to remember is take your time. I built my MK3s in a weekend, this definitely is not that. I view this as a much longer endeavor and investment that's better than everything on the market right now. Better than Bambu and the like because it's open source. Better than Prusa because the MK4 was really just a 5-year old printer with a new paint job and the XL is way out of my price range. Overall, this will be my printer, and once finished I'll have customized every single thing to my liking.
You're going to want to install klicky, or some other probe, out of the gate. It's used for quad gantry leveling (mandatory IMO) as well as bed mesh (I've personal not done this yet). I printed the fixed mount, but it's out of plane with the hot end mount so I'm working on printing the adjustable mount.
Good to know. I got the Klicky parts through PIF, so I'll add it to the list!
