out of interest, you mentioned adhesive for the hub, but didn't mention what you use - I was not sure what you think works best on the metal-to-3dprinted piece ?

How did you wire the tool head LED’s?

For bed probing, use KAMP. It only does a bed probe for how big your print is. Saves tons of time

What is the weight of the frame?

Troodon is Formbot3d.

169 for panel kit

If you have an Ender3. Dont expect your bed to be flat. Mine are lower in the middle. I fixed it by sticking some alu tape to the magnetic surface. It shimmed up the middle enough to level it.

Had my eye on one of these for a while. Looks like a good base to mod but not have to build from scratch

Honestly I think the title is clickbait. You shouldn't do a comparison video on a 3D printer you do not have. This is the first time I have seen any of your videos. For those of us who work in different fields a voron is a very time-consuming project. The SV08 actually gives me a chance to try some of the voron 2.4 advantages like a flying gantry for a great price and minimal time expendeture for building. I pre-ordered it and hoped it would be out sometime last month like advertised. I do realize things take time and I would prefer to wait if improvements are going to be made over time. Even if it's just software improvements making the process easier. You asked about Soval's products. I have owned a couple. They are the best bang for the buck. Unfortunately like most other modern companies they rush products out and software is minimally if optimized at all. Hardware wise they tend to be the best in their price range.

great topic, thanks 👍

really nice piece of art. is the crayford focuser also 3D printed?

could you add a volcano hotend to the head without too much modification?

great video!!

Running a chamber fan is nuts on your ABS prints. Turn it off. Printing ABS since 2015. 30c chamber temp is the beginning. 50c plus is what you are aiming at to do large prints. ABS is the king of FDM materials (for most projects) all things considered.

STL 🙏 please

Teaching on the dunes by the sea is all very low level and controlled . Just like learning to ride a bike. Ropes on the wings to hold them level make it safe. The instructor is your shepherd. He will keep you safe and he knows you and will only progress you up a level when you are totally ready 💯

Troh-uh-don. Thanks for the video!

Very helpful breakdown of the differences you can expect between this and a "trueblood" 2.4 kit. This will probably be my next printer.

Dave, I just gave you a shoutout over on pifinder discord today. Great design and opens up a lot ideas to upgrade my ES 12" truss tube. Not familiar with solidworks, will it be possible to replicate your design using fusion 360 and just tinkercad? I have downloaded the STEP files and loaded in Fusion.

I have never seen that wax but it looks awesome!!! I'm a little old-school so I tend to just find my own solutions to problems (Like wrapping rope around an inner to try and get a constant wall thickness. Spoiler: It doesn't work. I guess that's what I love so much about resin and composites: There is just so much development taking place!

What slicer software do you use with this printer ?

Where the extruder head RGB leds cable goes attached to?

Many bike manufacturers use bladder and wet lam or prepreg. To add infusion really complicates and adds more labour

Thank you very much!🙃👍

What size is this? Size 50?

Sovol has open sourced the entire printer. And I am getting a lot of good opinion about it. The only point I see of value is that Troodon is the full metal build. So it may last better over the long run. But cannot be said for sure because engineering is what makes it better. Sovol seems to have done a good job. . You can mod the printer given the entire cad and designs are open sourced. Maybe we can retrofit a stealthburner head.

What ended up being the weight of the frame?

I flew point of the mountain in March of 1984. Very rare to have a site that allows landing for a bit and then launching for more air time. We flew on a Sunday when I swear there were so many gliders in the air you could hardly make a turn. The wind was steady on so the ridge lift was stable. Eventually it died down a bit and the only two gliders left on the back ridge was me in a comet 180 and a girl flying a green coloured glider about half the size of my comet. There was this hang gliding bum living in his station wagon and flying a glider with the word telluride covering half his glider. Long shaggy beard and living the life he chose. NIce to see hang gliding alive and well in Utah

What do you think the weight limit would be on this? Do you think it would work for a larger telescope like the "Leavitt"? For context, the Leavitt uses an 8" mirror.

Construção incrível! Parabéns!

Had some Creality printers once...never again. That being said, hard to take a recommendation from someone who refers to their Creailty printer as a "workhorse"

I've used every type of bed probe that you described, but I have found by far my favorite "probe" is the Cartographer sensor that I am currently running on both my Voron 2.4r2 and my Voron Switchwire. It is an IDM scanner (like the Beacon probe), and is INSANELY fast. I have mine configured to do a 9x9 probe, with two passes, so 162 points, on my 350mm Voron 2.4r2 that takes roughly 30 seconds. Once I have my initial layer dialed in, and the offsets saved as a gcode override for each filament / bed type that I pass to my PRINT_START macro, I don't have to recalibrate the first layer again. I run the bed leveling macro prior to each print. Ideally though I'd love to have both the IDM scanner AND a way to do a physical tap for auto first layer calibration, I hear that Beacon has something coming for that soon.

usually textured always requires a slightly lower Z-offset ive never had an issue with them

very surprised that the thin tubes towards the back wheel are enough to support the drivers weight. love the application of 3d printing. great job.

Good content! I've been using Layerneer Bed Weld for my ABS prints for years, which I'm sure is similar to Magigoo. I've never been able to get my ABS to stick to the textured PEI, so I always use the smooth side with the solution. You can also speed up the Troodon 2.0 TAP speed as it's unnecessarily too slow out of the box. Set "lift_speed: 100" in the [probe] section and "max_z_velocity: 100" in the [printer] section. It's also worth mentioning that on the quad gantry style printers like the Troodon and Vorons, to always do a quad gantry leveling (G32 macro on the Troodon 2.0) before every print and before mesh leveling. Cheers!

Great haircut!!

Where did you purchase this printer ?

The discord link is not working

Where did you buy the Dragon HF Hot End? I'm having trouble finding one. Thanks for the great video. I ordered a Troodon after watching

I don't ride bicycle that much. I would not call myself a cyclist. But somehow after seeing that video series I want to build a a bike frame. And a side question if it ever gets read: How much did the naked frame weigh in?

It must be fun. I hope I could hang gliding one day.

anyone else have the audio cutt off at 3:03 for them?

The Solvol is more along the lines of an Ender. It is a good platform that you can modify. With them already sorting out the canbus end of things replacing the toolhead is not a major step and part of the fun. I can see people adapting this as soon as the printer reaches their doorstep.

you should make an update.

Fantastic video, i've spent all day looking around for good solutions to making carbon fiber bend tubes and this is by far one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to achieve this. Thank you alot.

For people wanting the same printer, this isn’t the troodon 2.0 it’s the troodon 2.0 Pro

Hello I have a question I’m kinda new to 3d printing and I’m not sure if it’s normal or not that’s why I came here but the bottom of my 3d print I feel like it’s too visible and has a lot of lines pls help me! Thanks.

I've ordered the SV08 with enclosure and 5" screen for 729, can't wait to receive it

your a boss man !! thanks a lot

Does the Troodon come with Klipper loaded now days? or do you have to set that up?
