Cantakerous Lesbian Sourceress<p>Starting to look more printer like.

Dennis Hwang<p>Pro tip: getting the JST pins installed into the connector in the correct orientation helps. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>Great, what I actually bought were pigtails. Also they’re the wrong pitch. I guess I’ll chop up a 2 meter extension cable then…</p><p><a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>I routed the thermistor cable around the Kirigami bed frame because otherwise it’s just flopping around down there. Apparently that was not the move, because I’m now like 2 inches short (heh). </p><p>JST extension cable to the rescue, because I’m not doing all that bed wiring stuff again. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>The saga continues: replacement power supply inlet I printed is warped and trying to use it is probably going to be a waste of time.</p><p>The LDO electronics bay divider thing is not included in the 0.1/0.2 repo for a reason: it doesn’t fit. It appears in their wiring documentation, but you won’t be able to use it. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>Yes it turns out I’ve been using the 0.2 manual instead of the 0.2r1 manual I should be using. What the hell did I pay $20 for a printed manual for?</p><p>Build a Voron he said. It’ll be straightforward, he said. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>I’ve been given the hardware for a filament sensor, but I can’t actually seem to figure out what I’m meant to do with it or how it gets installed.</p><p>The Voron assembly documentation seems to start glossing over things about halfway through. Tells you how to tension the belts, but does it ever tell you to lock down the motors? Did I just miss this? Because if you don’t it’s just held together with printed thread. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>* Teeth gnashing intensifies *</p><p>LDO heatshrinks the power cables (inlet to PSU), but this actually makes them harder to route. Cut the heatshrink off.</p><p>I’ve got an incomplete set of electronics mounting hardware, which means I’m not finishing anything this weekend.</p><p>I got the wrong PSU inlet so the skirts don’t line up.</p><p>I tried to save $50 on the printed parts, ended up buying them twice, and still don’t have a single complete set. </p><p>Why did I do this again? </p><p> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>Welp, got the z motor pointed the wrong way. Not fixing it at this point.</p><p>Also the bed thermistor wire seems short. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Dr Footleg (he/him)<p>All tuned in now, so I tried a 3dBenchy. I had hoped for better to be honest! <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voron</span></a></p>
Dr Footleg (he/him)<p>First attempted print from this Voron Trident. Nothing is tuned in yet apart from the motion system. Automatic bed levelling and Z-offset using nozzle touch worked beautifully. Sliced using a Voron 2.4 template in Prusa Slicer as there was no Trident template. Now to start calibration of the hot-end. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a></p>
Dr Footleg (he/him)<p>First print going down! It appears to be melting plastic into a recognisable shape. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a></p>
Dr Footleg (he/him)<p>After yesterday was entirely spent getting Klipper to start up without errors, today I was finally able to start initial checks with this printer. X-Y motion all checked. Heaters and fans working (with config changes needed to make the part cooling fan speed controllable). Then I came to Z motion and spotted a fundamental problem. Can you spot it? <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a></p>
Dennis Hwang<p>Anyway, x-axis: also very fiddly. I don’t agree with the instructions to pre-load nuts into the extrusion (while also juggling a loose linear rail carriage). Put the nuts on the screws, then slide the whole thing on. </p><p>I have my issues with the <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Rook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rook</span></a> but it really is a lot simpler to put together. <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/Voron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Voron</span></a> <a href="https://hwang.me.uk/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
