V-Core 3 Vs Voron 2.4 Review [Shortened]

Bias Disclosure:
The V-Core 3 was given to me by Rat Rig in exchange for creating the live stream series and review, they provided an affiliate link which gives me a small financial reward for anyone that buys using my voucher code.
BTT and Filafarm paid for sponsorship on my Voron 2.4 build series, with small component contributions from Linneo, onetwo3D and Mechporium but I don’t have affiliate links for any of these companies.
The sponsor of this video, Filamentive is a filament supplier based in the UK that has no affiliate to Rat Rig or Voron. I also don’t have an affiliate link at the time of filming.

The Voron v2.4 and Rat Rig V-Core 3 are two of the most expensive hobby level 3D printers available today. They are both 3D printer kits that you need to build yourself and utilise high quality components to produce some incredible results. In this video i'm going to compare these two printers to find out which is better.

I'm frowning a lot in this video. This is just because i'm squinting a bit while trying to read the telepromter that has my notes on.

Ohhhh i was just watching at the original version, thanks for the re-upload ! :D

I think the V-Core 3 would be better compared with the Voron Trident since they are more similar with leadscrews

[NaF_Art_Studio]

very helpful, thanks i enjoy your content always

[animatrix]

You are comparing a kit to a self source printer, looks like ratrig cheaped out on their kits, a real vcore wouldn't be too different from the voron in terms of quality

[tuckerhauser]

Comparison of these 2 printers to a bambu carbon x1 would be nice?
I currently have a modified ender 3 and im interested in moving on!
Thanks

[RocketSkates]

Does the new V-core V1.3 overcome any of these issues?

[AlexUncut]

do you think you could compare modix big-60 to something more or less comparable, maybe v core 3 500x500x500

[FMDev]

Hey Adam! Could you tell me the filament brand and color that you used for the Voron 2.4 accent color? Looks great!

[Serpreme]

All of the extras listed are just that, extras. Like the voron user mod list, they leave modifying it to your preference after you completed it.

I know this is old, but can we have a 10 minute version of this?

[jaystst]

Damn, i've watched this video like 3-5 times, the original video once, and next monday DHL should drop me a VCore500

[enchantedlettuce]

If I buy an unofficial kit all the parts are still sourced from voron right?

[Soravia]

Both use the moving XY carriage and susceptible to vibrations. Moving Z bed is far superior design.
