Voron 2.4: The ULTIMATE DIY 3D Printer Build

THANK YOU for watching (seriously!). I read every comment, so please, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to know more about!

Congrats on the build and great video. What is the total cost of it?

It sounds like the community would benefit from an interactive repository that has a way to select your build options so it will select and compile the appropriate guides

It's not just about the Voron, it's about the guides you read along the way

Would it be possible to build one of these with minimal Chinese made content?

Not a fan of videos who are sponsored, get all this free stuff from multiple companies and push more ads right through. Theres ways to do it. This isn't it. Doesnt feel genuine.

I may be dense, and if so i am sorry. I cant find your affiliate link for 3DPros. Could you post it please?

Hairspray and a brim is the way to go for for abs

no thanks i got my ender 3 pro 3 year ago and i dont have any plans on getting anything elas

I really thought you be making a video of building a 3d printer, but youre actually promoting a product,

Reminds me of the days of building the Linux kernel and app from scratch.

The issues you had with various versions are interesting, when I built my V1.8 it was ONE guide, and a quick addendum since I wanted to go with a Dragon hotend instead of a V6. I also cheaped out in some aspects of using old parts, and had to make some....interesting...modifications because of it (mostly on the Z axis). The machine is a workhorse, and I've toyed with the idea of picking up a V0 or a V2 as a supplemental printer. I've also looked into what it'd take to turn mine into a Trident or a V2, and it'd be about as much as a new one lol, so something to keep in mind for upgrade paths.

Got to be honest, I stopped watching about halfway through.

I was really interested in the video, but there was almost no real discussion and showcasing the build process, this just felt like one enormous sponsor spot.

Wish this channel the best, but I came for a Voron build, not a sales pitch.

Please give more adds, your segways are great

While I can agree, I honestly don't have the want to spend that much time building a printer these days personally. But again, I get it, if that's something you enjoy doing, go for it. Nice looking printer, congrats on getting it done and being happy with it.

You linked everything except where to get these parts to make the 3D printer...

Would you mind sharing that configurator spreadsheet?
I didn't manage to find it even copying the URL from your browser :P

Thanks for the grat content!

good grief, first 9 minutes is nothing but advertising of all the products so far...

What is the cheapest project that works well for a 3d printer for me to do from scratch?

🤩 promosm

I've bought mine and destroyed 2 PEI trying to level the Z axys. Now I'm waiting for the 3rd to arrive. Voron is awesome but it's NOT a good idea for a first timer. Not that I am, but it's far different from an Ender3 or any bed slinger. Learning from my mistakes, I would suggest for future makers that READ the klipper manual thoroughly before thinking about a Voron.

Cost?

I love that there is an open source culture around this. Some of these other Maker tools that are coming out are neat and all, but do we really need a small-scale Apple knock-off?

What do you think about all the kits that popped up in Amazon for voron kits just saw them and haven't fully checked them out but would be nice to see what you and everyone thinks

Ultimate Do it Yourself 3d printer printed by a 3d printer. Thanks but no thanks.

I can appreciate the fact you're enjoying the build process. I enjoyed building the Rostock back in the day. ...but I can firmly tell you, after doing so, I have no desire to go through that process again. If I get one of these, it'll probably be the mostly assembled Troodon.

Gridfinity!

Glad to see you have a finalized build! The 2.4 is NOT an easy build so congrats on getting it completed. I'm looking forward to building mine in the near future :)

Hey man is it Possible to get your cr 10 off your hands 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m not super fortunate I’ve purchased a ender 3but I’m trying to up my game

Stopped watching 5 minutes in. How many sponsors do you need to mention in each video?

I get that you need to make a living, but the shill level of this video is over 9000.

I watched the whole video. Now I need an aspirin. Sigh, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Oh, and congratulations on the little 3 d printed son.

This was a really well done video. You nailed it when it came to describing why people build Vorons. I refuse to spend $1000+ on a pre-built printer, but I will happily spend the same amount of money on something I get to make myself. You get it.

I’d need a guide book to tell me which guide to use lol

There's a(rather easy to do tbh) way to make an excel(or rather Google sheet) sheet from a Google survey. So someone could fill it out saying what parts they have or different specs like which hotend etc and the form could be emailed to them on what parts they needed to print out. Not to mention have the output editable so the person can caiter the list to their needs. Besides that, loved this video, new and loving your candor on all your videos! As a fellow content creator, you do a great job and can't wait to see other insites and stuff you learn!

I have been enjoying your videos, great production quality and skills in front of the camera for being a fairly new channel. 👌 I built an LDO V2.4 this summer and am in love with it, and how well it works now that I’ve customized it exactly how I want it. Is yours going to live in the same wooden enclosure in your studio room? I have an enclosure that is very similar so I am wondering how you will deal with the heat inside with the glass window door closed, or the noise in the room with that door open, the V2.4 at good speeds is on a completely different noise level than a slow bed slinger… 😬 you should also look into the Nevermore Max, that would be a great mod for your long term health if you and your wife are going to work in that room breathing in the same air all the time. Keep it up! 💪🏼

I love your videos. Basically I started to use the Printables because of your recommendation. I would love a compare video with the Bamboolab printers in YOUR POINT OF VIEW after 1 or 2 months of use. But as a Material Engineering student I would love to see a video about that you how recycle your filed prints, shatter it and make a new spool of filament from it, or just simply throw away (in the trash or the recycle bin in this case doesn’t change anything), or any of your recommendations in the recycling.
PS: I agree the special thanks the recommendations of the companies who gifted the materials and the kits, but I would appreciate if there would a separate section for this in the beginning or/and the end of the video, because right now with rude speaking it feels like “They gave me this so use this with your prints”.

What was the point of this video ? Showing your new sponsors ?

When I build my V2.4 350 I went ahead and look through all manuals involved in the build. For LDO kit you will likely have 4-5 manuals to skim through. Then I just print parts in order of the build manual while waiting for the kit to arrive. I didn’t use spreadsheet or checklist the help in tracking down which part is needed for the build and which one is not. All you need to do is flip through all manuals before printing parts. you’ll know which one you need by the time you finish reading.😂

I’m waiting on a Formbot kit and a KB3D printed parts kit.

I’m scared.

MADE BRUH

I see the Voron and I'm like "I need that".
But then I look in the room with my three printers and see the RC Car I started to rebuild 3 years ago that still isn't done, and I'm like eh, probably shouldn't.

Great video. Well done. Best editing so far imho

Another hot take on the "maybe someone should do a Voron+SB+LDO manual".

Voron's ethos is you make it and build it yourself with the most basic materials as practically possible. LDO is way out of that mindset and it makes the printer 50% more expensive than it could be (some people self source on AliExpress for 750 bucks, and other kits are not much more expensive than that and yield a printer that is as good as LDO's)

As for the Stealthburner, it's still RC (release candidate) which is why Afterburner is still stock config. I can imagined that once Tap has seen enough use and gets a "1.0" release they'll merge Tap and SB (it was meant that way to begin with anyway) and make that setup stock config with an updated manual.

Hot take on the "selecting and printing Voron parts is a pain" : I honestly think an LDO kit makes it more complicated because it's not a stock config, adding these extra options (including the clicky probe parts which only help making this mod the de facto "I have other issues but clicky solved it therefore the inductive probe is shit" symptom generator) just create to much noise for newcomer IMHO.. I "maked" my 350 2.4r1 from a basic (stock) kit from Formbot and I could tell what I needed to print just by looking at the name of the parts. It took maybe 30min sorting the STLs out, planning the plates and labeling plastic bags with based on the folder names. The build was made effortlessly using only the official manual and the docs website, nothing else.

Also while it's fine to mention you can order printed parts from 3rd party companies, it would have been great to have mentioned the PIF (print it forward) program as the best way to get printed parts, they're made by the Voron community under the (stringent) control of Doc and it's also probably the most cost efficient way.

EDIT : Yeah that's also why you had issues with things not in the manual. The best thing any newcomer can do is build a stock Voron first, and tune it later. The stock config comes with 95% of the performance you'll get with "upgrades".

Having built both a formbot and a LDO kit - the LDO is in a different league of nice. They've documented everything, it's just up to us to actually pay attention and do what they've told us to do ;)
The original PDF manual isn't trivial to modify unfortunately and I think given the reality of it all, that LDO has done it in the best way possible.

But you're spot on when it comes to how the process is such a big part of it, it goes way beyond just assembling a 3d printer. Lots of fun, so much learning and remember - you're your own support so actually knowing how it went together is kind of an upside (there is a helping team on the voron discord though - but knowing how its built helps a lot). In fact, it's so much fun I've already built 2 machines and will build more down the line... :D

Great video - it captures the LDO build well in a concise format.

bro how to write to you? I want to work with you

"I maked this", English grammar?
