Amazingly CHEAP Voron 0.2! - SIBOOR V0.2 3D Printer Review

I just picked up this kit a few weeks ago and to their credit, they've fixed the problems you've pointed out. Mind you, I ordered the kit without the ABS parts since I have a Bambu P1S to print them but otherwise, things have gone quite smoothly so far.

Print bed is adorable 😂

man for $500 I would expect some MUCH better quality control. that's $200 more than an A1 Mini that is rock solid right out of the box with no assembly and only $100 cheaper than a Bambu P1P.

Just finished building my first printer (Trident 250). You're the first builder I've seen to use 123 blocks when squaring up the frame in a video. It removes much of the struggle IMO. Round spacer block kit was my other machine shop pull. Loved how tidy your wiring came out.
Big shoutout to the VORON Discord community for helping me get mine going! They were right there to help.

SIBOOR offers a version of the kit without any ABS printed parts (also no main board). You could get that, and use the print it forward program to get the printed parts, or print them yourself. If I were to get this kit, I'd probably print the parts in PETG (since I CAN), and go for the BTT pico board (that was actually designed for this board) along with a RPi Zero (2) W. I'd have to install the klipper firmware myself, but there are many good tutorials on the web showing how to do that.
I've heard that PETG will work well with a Voron, especially if you don't intend to print in ABS. I mostly use PLA and PETG myself, both of these materials are much easier to print that ABS. PETG is reasonably strong, and almost as heat resistant as ABS.
BTW SIBOOR also offers CNC'ed metal parts.

How much

Anyone know the brand name for the mint asa?

So does the V0.2 printerr better then V0.1? Or why not upgrade your V0.1 to a V0.2?

What is the size of the printer? What is the difference between the CHC hot end and the Dragon hot end?

As someone that's never printed but have always been curious I've just never had the free time after a life changing car accident I'm home bound and have been watching your reviews thinking about buying one. I absolutely love the fact you nit pick the hell out these machines. Thanks for your honest review and with that off to watch another.

The hotend shroud reminds me of Blanket from The Brave Little Toaster.

MCU = Microcontroller unit, not motor control.

Oh hell no. What a shame

I like your channel a lot! Hope you get the growth you deserve.

Glad I found this, they contacted me about purchasing - for review - their 2.4 kit. Since I am not a big channel, not much of any discounts. But I've heard from the various creators how problematic these kits are. I have an LDO kit at work and that's been amazing. Siboor offered the 0.2 kit for not much money and I think I will politely decline. Yes, even small channels can smell bad quality =)

MCU = Micro Controller Unit, not Motor Control Unit, as in the little CPU on the board, that's the MCU.... i.e Arduino is an MCU, ESP32 is an MCU...etc...

"Budget" is sort of subjective here. That 0.2 looks to be like a 150x150 plate, which is kinda small for that price point. Granted it is going to come with everything you need, including the glass to encase it, which is nice. Still the build volume to price ratio is quite bad compared to what you can find out there.

I really would like to build a voron but they are quite expensive

These things are way too expensive for what they are. You can get better bang for buck with pre manufactured FDM's. If you have too much money and like to be tortured then by all means go ahead and get one. Just buy a Creality K1, which is IMO 10 times better than anything you could build yourself, cheaper and happy days.

I am interested in knowing which brands of stepper motors and belts are used. Additionally, do you happen to know which extruder kit is also utilized? Changing the hotend poses no problem, and I can print the necessary parts in advance with my Voron 2.4. I am eagerly looking forward to building a Voron 0.2, assuming the only issues are related to the printed parts and hotend.

Now 0.1 kit comes without crimper

any reason to get this 0.2 over their (still available) 0.1 kit?

The bed size is absurdly small and makes this a laughing stock at this price point to call it "cheap"!

Those cable management squares look great, do you have the file for them posted somewhere?

Insane high price for such shitty 3d printed parts and the amount of DIY needed. What's the pro's of one of these over a build and go printer like a Ender 5?

Is there a more budget 0.2 for someone that can print the parts and doesn't mind flashing Klipper?

You have to re-wire and terminate cabling and it doesn't have enough hardware to complete the build? That's awful... The questionable printed parts made me remember an anet et4 I bought with the printed parts looked like dog crap and never got the printer working.

this feels like a no for me haha what a nightmare - for 500 feels like I could buy pre-made stuff and better... but what do I know

I wish I could afford this 3d printer 😢

I smile every time I see one of your videos because you look so much like a rougher, grittier version of Matt Parker. For those of you who hadn't seen it before, I'm sorry. It can't be unseen. :)

I kind of wonder if those black parts are printed in eSun ABS+ or something else analogous to it. Especially with batches in the last year or so, that stuff has notoriously poor layer adhesion, and that nice matte sheen is characteristic of ABS+

I would LOVE to have a Voron, but there's just too much fiddly crap for costing WAY too much money. I realize that this is all cutting edge stuff, but even looking at this with the "My First Voron" mindset, I agree that the value and quality control isn't there. The problem is that for the LDO kits you mentioned the price point is not in my ballpark. So I'll just sit here drooling while I print garbage on my Ender 3 like the poor pleb that I am.

Did you have to pay costoms

I'm sorry but $470 is not "amazingly cheap"

why are you bald ?

Uhh... preinstalled klipper? This is a computer with a linux operating system that you have no control over how it is installed. It could open a backdoor to your network. I would strongly recommend sandboxing it, taking out the configuration files and reinstalling it.

mine came with the black parts in good condition. one of the xy motors doesn't have the shaft aligned.. it didn't come with the connection diagram, so I connected the display wrongly and it doesn't work either. the rest is ok.

I'm not familiar with this style printer but can someone explain the thought behind it? More or less why 450ish bucks is budget friendly when there's pre-assembled printers with better specs for less money. Is it the DIY aspect of it? But if that's the case most companies sell stuff for less if you have to do it yourself and like I mentioned this is more than a handful of pre-assembled printers. Maybe I'm missing something huge and please let me know!

For the price this is probably a banger

Amazing! Can you please do a review in the Elegoon neptune 3 max? Thanks!

I have a V6 Style hot end with the same ceramic heater; 2 of them actually. one of them is doing fine and does heat up quick which is nice. but the other one has been very unreliable. unbelievable stringing, temp swings and randomly losing the thermistor signal. turns out the ceramic was cracked. My conclusion is to stay away from the ceramic and stick with all metal construction. sure doesn't heat up as fast, but really, you always have to wait a while to the bed to heat up anyway.

Clickbait. It isn't that cheap.

I had exactly the same issues with parts I printed with a bad patch from Esun filament .. I didn't notice it until I made some changes to the x carriage , I notice a layer adhesion crack .

I'd rather pay full price for an LDO kit or just self-source rather than deal with a random assortment of Chinesium that's missing stuff and has crappy printed parts. Fucking Chinesium.

Maybe.. but going to take me awhile to figure out sensorless homing on my ratrig so plenty of time for them to get things in order

That's NOT what MCU stands for and it doesn't control the motors. It's a MicroController Unit.

Perhaps this is my historian training showing, but I feel like this kit really gives us insight into how the various electronics come from the manufacturer. With a kit like this there's no way Siboor is spending a lot of money on labour, so things like the half-terminated motors are surely just in the state that they bought them? (Also, noting that the lack of basic tools makes the price increase even steeper is good (for some users - I have those tools so their inclusion wouldn't raise the kit's value for me), but calling out the price increase without putting it in the context of over a year of ridiculously high global inflation is maybe a bit unfair?)

Though I will say I think the accelerometer pins and wires being as they are is actually a good thing for someone looking to learn to build printers. Soldering through-hole pins is about the easiest kind of soldering there is, and if someone wants to get into building 3d printers, they'll need to learn to solder at some point. Plus, if gives you the choice of attaching the pins or of eliminating one connexion and just soldering the pigtail directly to the PCB.

Last thought: up until now I've parsed your accent as "Canadian, probably Vancouver, who says "zed" wrong" but the way you say "enclosed" is very, very American. I just find that funny!

With the P1P only a little bit more and a Creality K1 coming out I'm not sure what the point of these are.
