Hello,

I was interested in building a high end printer, mostly for the fun of it and learning what goes into it. I’ve been looking at the Voron and on the page looks really nice; however, I’ve been unable to find a lot of actual print quality, speed, and capability comparisons.

Does anybody here have experience or recommendations of other high end, self build, printer designs?

I’d be using my customized printer based on the ender 3 max platform.

Really, looking to improve in a few areas:

  • proper enclosure and venting so I don’t continue to poison myself when printing abs.
  • elimination of ringing caused by that heavy bed swinging around at high speed
  • ability to ramp up the print speed past 50mm/s

I’d also love the ability to play with multi-matrtial printing, but not high on the list.

Thanks all

    I’ve got 4 Vorons, a 2.4r2, trident, switchwire, and a 0.2. The 2.4 and trident are amazing printers. I’d recommend the trident as your first Voron. Any issues you run into, the Voron community is very helpful and will guide you. As far as kit vendors, the LDO kits are significantly better than the cheap ones like formbot. Don’t go with the cheaper option if you can afford the LDO kit. It will make the build a lot easier and more enjoyable. The wiring is the worst part of the build, and LDO gives you all the wiring pre crimped, and they have a lot of extra PCBs that make the wiring even easier.
