3D Printer Build - BLV to Voron Trident conversion
Brass_Machine:
I am taking the parts for this:
And building this instead:
Voron printers are a proven platform. They print amazing. There is a huge community behind these open source printers.
The print volume should be 350mm x 350mm x 400mm (or so). The build plate is 6mm cast aluminum. The bed will be fully Kinematic.
Fully enclosed but no active chamber heater. I plan on building an open source AMS (multi material unit) to feed the printer with.
I will be using a LDO leviathan control board. A LDO Nighthawk "umbilical' tool head board. A Raspberry Pi 4 with klipper will control the show.
A Nevermore Stealthmax will be used for filtration. I print almost entirely in ASA.
Will be using 9mm belts instead of 6mm belts for motion control.
I have been printing parts for this for weeks. Ordered parts have started showing up, I am getting close to build time...

BillTodd:
I'll be following along :mmr:
Stop press; another resin print fail, not enough support structure. I replaced the FEP film a few days ago and the clean unscratched surface get too much of a grip on the part.

That sucks.
I have a resin printer here. Have had it for 10 months and have not printed with it yet. Any tips?
BillTodd:
Tips:
Wear gloves always. The reasin is nasty stuff and will burn if you get it on your skin BTDT.
Temperature must be above 18°C (65F?) .
The material heats as it polymerizes and shrinks as it cools (just like casting) , minimise solid volumes
Object orientation and support are important.
Position part to minimize cross sectional area of each layer.
The fep is trying to pull the part off of the build plate and, until cured, the resin is quite soft, so supports ideally need to be like little tripods .
If possible, add sacrificial support in cad to ensure clean edges
Avoid suction cups , i.e. areas that are fully enclosed that will collapse as the plate is pulled away from the fep film. The slicer has a hole punch tool to make ventilation holes if necessary.
Supports will leave marks, so orient parts with details up on build plate
Shake well before use and close cover before striking;-)
BillTodd:
Oh and...
Select the correct bloody resin ! :doh: :doh:
