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 just build my Voron 2.4 last month as an upgrade to my riced out Ender 3, and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend the build and printer. I went through magic phoenix for a kit, and picked up a couple extra things I wanted along the way, but they weren’t necessary. Took about 24 days to arrive after placing the order with DHL shipping.

I printed all the parts myself in ASA on the ender. In hindsight, someone else with a better printer would have done a better job, but only marginally. I was surprised how well my ender did on that much ASA.

I’m still tuning the voron, but the defaults in orca slicer have been doing well so far, and it’s fast, I mean really fast. Right now mine has a bit of over extrusion, but that just needs to be tuned a bit more. I’ve seen people on line pump out some amazing prints on the v2.4.

I imagine everything you’re looking for will be satisfied by the Voron, either 2.4 or trident. I wanted a 350^3 tho, so I went with the 2.4
