The Big Voron Rebuild - Gantry Mods
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- I’ve decided to disassemble and rebuild my Voron 2.4 printer, adding a bunch of mods and upgrades along the way. In this second part of the rebuild series I’m building a modified (and simplified!) XY gantry that includes a pin mod and some new front idlers. Equally important are the things that it doesn't include... most notably cable chains and X/Y endstop switches, which aren't need due to other changes I'm making elsewhere in the build.
Throughout this project, any time I’m using something that’s not part of the stock Voron 2.4 specification I’ll include links and reference material in case you’re interested in learning more. For this part of the build, those mods and upgrades are:
Pin mod: github.com/hartk1213/MISC/tre...
Front idlers: github.com/Ramalama2/Voron-2-...

I really hope the rest of this rebuild series is on its way. Great production quality, really enjoying these overhead shots.
Hey, glad you're enjoying it. Sadly, I accidentally lost the footage for the rest of my work on that printer and the rebuild has been completed for some time now. I'll likely do a single retrospective episode to close out the series.
There's a newer playlist on the channel now with a full build of a Voron v0.2 and I didn't lose any of that footage. It has a similar production style.
You should add Cartographer probe (opne source beacon). Its better than klicky and it connects to Canbus connections on front fan PCB on your EBB. Plug and play probe.
Good shout, but I've already planned to switch to Voron tap! No more physical endstop switches anywhere in the printer.
Hey there, thanks for that video. This little helper thing to align the Pulleys to the motor seems very handy, could you tell me where I can find that?
It's called pulley_jig.stl and it's included with the standard Voron 2.4 printed parts. You can find it here: github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2/tree/Voron2.4/STLs/Tools
There are some other useful printed tools and spacing guides in that folder, too.
What do you think about 9mm belt and AWD? Building up a trident from Tronxy 400mm frame and thinking about options for relevation of longer belts.
It definitely looks promising, but I haven't tried that setup myself so I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it to anyone without having actually seen it in action.
PTFE on linear rails is bad I thought?
It's worked okay for me and has held up even after hundreds of hours of printing. That was the best option I could find at the time, but something like Mobilux EP1 or EP2 would be preferable.
How beneficial is sensorless homing? Pros and cons, i have been thinking about dropping my switches too.
I like it a lot so far. I actually tried it out for a couple months on the old version of the printer before the rebuild to make sure it'd work well for me. You can leave the switches in place, just unplug them from your controller board and then update klipper to try it out. Then it's easy to switch back if you don't like it.
