My new favorite 3D Printer! The Voron 2.4 Build Experience

My Voron 2.4 is built and it has quickly become my new favorite 3D printer - it's extremely fast, well-built, quiet and reliable. Here is what the build was like and what I would do differently next time!

I lost my mind at visually seeing automatic z-axis tramming, that's absolutely wild and cool

Glad the voron designs are finally getting mainstream attention.

out of all of my printers, my Voron 2.4 is my favorite and most used. excited to see where you go from here with the Voron family. Can't say it enough, many thanks to the Voron team for providing such great platforms.

Happy to hear you are enjoying the machine! So good to see it working out great for ya!

This is currently on my "dream printer" list. I just dont print enough really to justify the "investment" to my wife... but it is SOOOO tempting

i builded my voron 2.4 just 2 month ago, or so and i can say, your way of thinking is exactly the same as mine. also it is my favorite printer now - not only because it is awesome - it is also builed by myself and this is something to be proud of and i am happy with it :)

Tom, thank you for sharing your experience with us. On behalf of most of the community that uses Klipper I would like to apologize for the rude behavior of the individuals involved.

I appreciate that you took another route of trying something different. It a great opportunity to see how other firmwares work with a Voron as well as other printers.

The tip about putting insulation on the bed was a great one.
I used golden heat insulating tape and have almost no warping on my 350mm build.

[akren]

Sorry you had a bad time with the Klipper community. I plan to give their firmware a go in the future, so I appreciate the heads-up about the community. I hope you do give it a shot though at some point, if only to test the efficacy of the accelerometer tuning feature. Thanks for the content!

Damn it Thomas, I already wanted to build one I didn't need this video tempting me!

[sethgandy]

The Voron and BLV MGN Cube communities are both great. The open source, group project style printers are truly how we'll advance 3D printing as a whole.

[apoorvbajpai]

we would love to see more videos involving the voron...! Cant wait for my parts to arrive (350mm cube version)

[paulmilne]

You are so tempting me to build one, thank you Thomas I have really enjoyed following this, apart from the idiots that annoyed you of course.

i love my voron 2.4, its a beast of printer. if anyone who builds a voron wants to support the voron team for their efforts they do sell merch.

With it being fully open, I'm hoping there will eventually be distributors of this family of printers willing to assemble, quality check, support & ship these machines, either close to original spec or heavily tweaked -- Kind of like how Prusa became a popular blueprint/template for others. I especially love the clean look of the dragchains!

Gah, this video has triggered a cascading ripple in the time space continuum. I have a small 200x200 bed slinger i3 based printer that I've had for a good amount of time. Now I have the itch to build this beast at 350x350. But there's no logical reason for this. The most valuable thing I've printed with my printer are more printer parts. But alas, my youtube history is now filled with Voron build/configuration videos, and there is only one way this story ends. Must Build Voron. Thanks Tom.

This was an awesome series and glad you made this as a final taking point video. I've went back and forth on if I want to build one and it seemed a lot of hassle, but now I see it's really not, just lots of detail. I look forward to building this after my move

To prevent random skips many CNC builders use 4 conductor shielded speaker wire. The 4 color coded wires simplify cable management with stepper motors. I used something like the following from Amazon for an X-Carve build a number of years ago:

18/4 AWG Shielded CNC Wire (50FT) — Flexible Stranded Shielded 18-Gauge 4-Conductor Cable for Stepper Motors, CNC Machines, NEMA Motors, VFD Spindles, CNC Routers, 3D Printers and more!

As of the release of this video, I can honestly say that yours and Teaching Tech are my top viewing options. I watch quite a bit of different content, and you've continued to both educate and entertain. Thank you Tom. I have never joined a Patreon, but yours may be the first.

Just completed my 2.4 build from form bot kit. Thanks to you, nero 3d and vector 3d, it became a fun learning experience 🙏
