I printed all my parts on my old i3 clone inside a couple of cardboard boxes taped together. They weren't pretty, but they were pretty functional. I did reprint my stealth burner and it looks a ton better than my first part, but in terms of function there isn't a whole lot of difference. The nice thing with plastic is that you can always mechanically trim material if needed. Most of the Voron parts are pretty forgiving too and don't have super critical dimensions.
As for why your overhands are warping up, it's likely your cooling as you guessed. ASA does not like big thermal gradients and fan + passive chamber heating will result in that. I printed basically all my parts with zero cooling and didn't have any real issues other than the stealthburner. On that note, plan to print bedfan mounts at a minimum. Something like the filter is nice to have if you plan on printing much ASA or ABS. If you're building a bigger 2.4 you might want both...
Definitely recommend checking out the nevermore max. i built the beta max and even with aquarium carbon it's massive how much less odors my abs prints produce. Any sort of recirc filter is a good idea, I just like not having to change the filter media for a while.
Wow yeah that first one is pretty terrible looking 😅
I'm decently pleased with mine though, but I'm really looking forward to the quality on the voron. I actually already have "the filter" on my current printer (slightly oddly placed in the tent, but it works), and I just connected it directly to the printer PSU and manually turn it on/off with a toggle switch.
Very nice! My i3 clone was over extruding quite a bit in hindsight. It also has a non-gear reduced extruder, which results in a lot of extrusion artifacts :(
