no worries, I love the diversity in perspective.

Agreed, YT algorithms are useless and I just look at my subscriptions.
As a counterpoint though, watching with YT Premium provides more money to content creators than ad-supported views. Knowing some of the money is going to a part-time hobbyist making interesting videos in their basement helps me justify it.
5·8 months agoI buy samples from Atomic Filament when I don’t know which filament would work best for a project. They are 50g spools for under $4 each. It is usually enough filament to print out a filament sample card and a small test piece.
3·8 months agoMolex MicroFit 3.0 are my gold standard for general purpose low voltage connectors. I buy from an electronics distributor (Digikey or Mouser) and crimp my own connectors. However, I did find a listing on Amazon for pre-crimped jumper wires and connector housings.
Use an x-acto knife or a $5 PTFE cutter for best results.
Amazing how that Saturday I set aside to build a Voron2 turned into a weeklong adventure. Then the mods, troubleshooting of mods, ERCF, and building of a Trident consumed so much more time. I guess that is just Voron Life.
I would never use a printer without z-tilt adjust as well. The bed is trammed using motors automatically and then the bed mesh just accounts for surface flatness.

Your first layer seems inconsistent. What z sensor are you using? Were these printed in quick succession or did the printer have time to cool?
My thinking is this could be due to thermal drift in your homing sensor. First print will be solid, then subsequent prints will have a warmed up sensor resulting in a different z offset. Try minimizing variables by making your preheating consistent. Or just baby step the z-axis during the print start.
Do you have any pictures of the broken part?
I’m looking forward to seeing further iterations on this fun idea. The build area is the only part that needs to be submerged and even then only when printing certain features.
SolidWorks for Makers seems like a decent competitor. $48/year USD for now.
It is undoubtedly an impressive extruder assembly, but the cost is a bit too high for me to consider it. Best of luck to them.
Awesome project!
