Randalor posted:Once a resin model was been washed/rinsed off, is it safe to handle with your bare hands, or is it only safe to handle once it's been fully cured? I never touch anything that comes off my resin printer with bare hands until it's been fully cured. It's too easy for resin to sit in little cracks/holes on the model.

Toebone posted:What have people found to be the least smelly resin? I'm currently using gray Siraya Fast, which is much better than Elegoo ABS-like, but my wife still complains occasionally. As someone who went thru this with his wife, these things https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086277CNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 work extremely well at cancelling out the smell.

If I wanted something with more build volume than my Prusa, should I be looking at a Voron 2.4? That 350 build volume sounds awesome for printing full size Iron Man sized helmets. I understand the whole process of building a Voron, doesn't scare me, but is that the best option for something with that build volume?

Has anyone in here built the Formbot Voron 2.4 kit? Thinking about pulling the trigger and either using the printed forward to get the printed parts or a seller off of etsy/ebay for them.

snail posted:I have. Search the history for what I replaced, but it wasn't a huge amount. Mine was an earlier 2021 kit, a later 2021 kit was much improved. It's also make sure it's a 2.4R2 kit, as while the improvements aren't enough to make me go rebuild a good working 2.4, they're a definite improvement. I've seen the LDO kits, but it looks like no vendor will have it until after April and I'm an impatient person lol

Welp she’s alive and going through all the initial calibration steps! That first flip of the power switch was exciting, no magic blue smoke though!  My Prusa is printing some of the non functional parts for it and I have a 5” touchscreen waiting to be installed. Hopefully will have it printing by the end of the the day!

Roundboy posted:ohhh yeah. you 100% should not have anything non PTFE or silicone wire in there. The extruder motor for example should not have its wires in the chain to the electronics bay. Clip them, or add the connector to take proper wires through the printer. Is it because of the movement in the chain to not run that set of wires in there?

insta posted:Yes, ABS rocks. So I just finished building my 2.4 kit, I haven’t fully enclosed it yet but I’ve been printing PLA with a dragon HF for the past 2 days with 0 issues. I guess it’s because it’s not enclosed yet? Edit: Just finished installing the 5” touchscreen.   Slowly printing all the additional skirts and whatnot. mattfl fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Apr 7, 2022 |

Well my Voron is happily printing a bunch of PLA latch panels and is in it's final home. Now I just need to find a way to mount a monitor out here somewhere so I can tuck the laptop away.

So my Voron has been up and running for about a week now. I'm getting consistently awesome ABS prints and I'm finding it easier to print with then PLA lol I really need to move on from printing upgrades/misc parts for it though and onto bigger things but it's so much fun now that I finally have something other than grey ABS to print with, got an order for Fusion and Atomic ABS in yesterday.   I freaking love this thing.

ilkhan posted:That looks interesting. Full details? Are you ready for a rabbit hole? Because once you look into this thing you’ll be gone for weeks. So basically, it’s a fully enclosed high speed ABS printing machine lol So start here https://vorondesign.com/ Now, you can either self source all the parts yourself or buy a kit from the 3 or 4 companies that make them. Mine happens to be a Formbot kit, but LDO is another popular one, or you can press your luck with a random AliExpress kit. There is a large large discord community that you need to be a part of if you want to get out of this rabbit hole. There’s a few Facebook groups too, as well as a small Reddit community, but really the discord community is where you’re gonna get all the answers you’re going to have, and there’s going to be questions lol I think there’s even a few discord mods on here as well. Total build time to print time was approx 40ish hours for me and I’m hearing that’s a fairly common build time. To me it was fun, I had the whole week offa work and I basically worked on it everyday and loved it. There are seemingly endless mods for it and all kinda cool things for it. I would not recommend this to anyone who has t already built or hasn’t worked on 3D printers before, def not a babies first 3D printer. I bought it because I was tired of chopping up parts on my Prusa and because I like to build things.

ilkhan posted:I don't have one yet, so not ready for it at this point. Maybe later on. I'll let someone more knowledgeable about that answer, I personally put a Dragon HF in mine because I got a good deal on it. I did my first real long(9.5hours)/somewhat complicated print last night Had to get in on the Flexi dragon stuff  But, printed with Atomic ABS UV Reactive filament!

ilkhan posted:Dual filament voron? Is that even a thing? Large volume, enclosed, all metal hot end, dual filament, high print quality is the end goal for a second printer for me. Voron checks 4 of those boxes. S1 pro is probably the first printer to start with and print parts for the second. Nah just a pause command put in the gcode to allow for a filament swap and then a resume. Worked perfectly though. The ERCF is kinda like Prusa’s MMU2S system if I thinking correctly.

Serenade posted:That looks really cool. I am going to deliberately not look into Voron stuff because I have enough projects to never complete. So mine is 350mm. I’ve seen 400 and up. I think you start getting into heating issues if you start going much higher.

The Flexi Dragons and Crocs are fun prints Here's one fresh off the print bed, scaled up to 150%    Next to his friend flexi dragon robot  Flexi Croc is printing in Fusion Ionized Cobalt Black ABS and Flexi Dragon Robot is in Atomic Neon Green UV Reactive ABS

I give you radioactive Flexi Rexi! https://imgur.com/gallery/5crcRBg So, he's the original model scaled up 350%, so not quite as big as the one RoundBoy is printing, but still quite large.
