Not being able to or not wanting to print ABS is a problem that Voron Design does have a solution for and that is the PIF (Print It Forward) program. Voron parts printed to exacting high quality Voron Specs by vetted members of the Voron Community on Voron Printers and at a price that is near cost+ship. There are also those that sell printed parts but are not part of the PIF program, they will cost more, but many are of similar quality to those vetted for PIF.

[@cdsmakestuff]

Just keep an eye on parts printed with ABS+ labeled filament. It does have a few drawbacks when compared to "pure" ABS. Like lower glass transition temp, mechanical creep and layer bonding problems. All of which are directly related to the "easier to print" formula of ABS+. I understand your decision and need for it’s use, just fyi.

[@fwiffo]

A ton of people in the Voron PIF program use eSun ABS+, so at least in the case of eSun, it's an officially approved material.

Finally have a handful of things i want to do that can be enabled with 3-D printing. Also looking at PET recycling into filament. Useing my own waste stream for enginerding.

[@LostInTech3D]

Pet recycling is on my list, you know about the recreator3d, right?

[@HoffmanTactical]

Now I'm going have to do a Voron ;) Good video. It's an interesting thing when you have to pick a filament for this application. Because you need no creep and a higher HDT. PC and ABS / ASA become the only two common options. I've seen some people say that PC is too brittle, which it can be, but I wonder how a PC blend such as the Polymaker Polymax PC would do. An annealed Nylon might work, but creep is still a concern.

[@Christopher_Gibbons]

Printing abs or asa in a different room is a decent temporary solution, but really you want to take the time to set up proper ventilation. A duct taking air from your enclosure outside with a fan will work, but a good filter setup would be better. Or if you have one, you can stick your printer inside an airbrushing booth.

[@thenextlayer]

You’re gonna enjoy it a lot. I am pretty much done and WOW it’s amazing and I had so much fun. 😊

[@ChristianLonneker]

Great job on printing. I've made a similar enclosure and used garbage bags and tape to get an almost closed enclosure. It really is about keeping the temperature stable/ no draft.

[@joshhardin666]

I respectfully disagree that the lack is the least expensive enclosure - Personally, I built a very large cardboard box out of several upcycled amazon boxes that i fitted around my lightly modified ender 3 (bltouch, allmetal hotend, klipper, webcam, pei build plate) for which to print my voron v2 parts on. I have a cieling fan in my lab and it was spring when I did this, so i just had the window open with a box fan in the window to get good circulation in my home lab/office. I set up most of my prints to go overnight so I could set the print and leave the room, close the door. everything worked out really well.

[@LostInTech3D]

I appreciate the respectfulness of your respectful disagreement! I had indeed forgotten about temporary enclosures. I plan to use the lacks for other things later and wanted something quite sturdy.

[@EGGSHL]

Next time when you want to “print a printer” you should look to @rolohaun3D’s rook. It is a fully 3d printed 3d printer. Even more so than the voron. It is not suitable for sizes larger than 300mm but it is a very fast machine and it’s 1/3 the cost of a voron at the very least. Depends how much you want to put into it! I already used my spare parts on a PETBOT so i have to buy parts for a rook build but i still plan to do it because i want a small and fast printer

[@faokie]

I haven't tried printing with ABS yet, but I've found that the draft shield setting in both Cura and Prusaslicer does wonders when printing "warpy" parts. One particularly troublesome print, no matter what I tried (anti-warp tabs, glue stick, brim, higher bed temp), by the time it was done printing the corners would lift off the bed. But when I tried it with draft shield, it came out ruler straight without even needing any of the other stuff.

[@dtibor5903]

I print ABS on simple plain glass, no glue, no hairspray, no slurry. Bed at 105C and 130% print width for the first layer. I's impossible to remove the print until is cooled below about 50C.

[@PTEC3D]

Hehehehe I actually shivered when I saw your temperature graphs. Here I have the opposite problem(s) of heat and humidity. And dust, I have three problems. Heat, humidity, dust, and a need - four. Four problems. Heat, humidity, dust, and a need to ventilate fumes away because I'm sensitive to them. Originally I let the enclosure vent outside with a simple thermosiphon process, let some air in near the bottom, fit the hose near the top, put the outlet up even higher, but then summer came and I was getting filament clogs with weird melty patterns that were unlike anything I'd seen to that time. Touching the direct drive extruder motor almost sizzled. Tunrs out that when you have outside air temps in the room of 37C - 41C, the bit of heat from the printer quickly takes that up to 60C... So then I fitted a server cooling fan into the hose and force-extract when the temperature gets too high. Oh and with daily RH of 75% - 90% being common here, even PLA prints better for being in a dehydrating chamber, and that sits under the printer and some heat from the electric dehumidifier inside it must also make it up into the enclosure. Sovol sounds like a dream machine, it'd be my choice for second printer if I ever go there, I watched the review you did and that basically put it on my Christmas list... Keep up the enjoyable vids and have a great festive season and a propserous new year!

[@nicholas_kujawa]

I use a drill with a hex-driver and put self-tapping screws in the bottom of the legs. Once the self-tapping screws are in, you just continue to use the drill on the head of the screw to rotate the leg into the table top.

[@francistaylor1822]

I have two vorons (0.1 which I am building and 2.4) I did my ABS parts printing in the shed, for smaller parts you can get away without an enclosure no worries. Though I dont get below zero temps here. 100% agree with you on people printing stuff like ABS inside their home, its madness. You can reduce but not eliminate fumes and VOC's with additional filters (look up the popular nevermore) but you still get some (I bought a VOC meter to check levels even though I print in the shed and can confirm this). The filter that a lot of people use witht the Vorons is the Nevermore / Nevermore Max.

[@jacobmurray3621]

Cnc kitchen used nylon not petg. Also abs plus does print easier but has a lower heat deflection temperature. Not a big deal but for trying to print PC you would probably want ABS or ASA. ASA has slightly better heat deflection than ABS.

[@KennethScharf]

ABS / ASA does make fumes that are not good to inhale, IF you print at too high a temperature. If you limit yourself to 220-230C you'll get minimal outgassing, but this may not be the best temperature for good printing results. In any case, warping is a BIG problem for large parts (and by large I mean ANYTHING that might take over two hours to print). To avoid warping you need a printer enclosed in a chamber to contain a constant temperature. And if you have that, you also have a way to contain the fumes by using a low velocity exhaust fan, and a good filter. Have the exhaust fumes exit outdoors through a suitable hose. Yeah, if you have a garage that will solve the fume problem, but NOT the warping (unless your garage is at a constant warm temperature. I have printed ABS in my workshop, leaving the door and windows open. Solved the fume problem (I stayed out of the workshop while the printer was running), but I still had some issues with minor warping. So what's wrong with PETG and PLA? I've printed parts for a home brew 3D printer with both of these materials, and had no problems. PLA can be fragile, drop a PLA part onto a hard floor and it will shatter. PETG probably won't. PLA shouldn't be used near anything hot, but it seemed to work fine for many mechanical parts. PETG is almost as heat tolerant ans ABS / ASA. Also, except for printed parts around the hot end, the Prusa printers ARE made out of PETG (but Prusas are not enclosed).

[@3dexperiments]

I had the same experience when printing parts for my VzBoT330, if I just eliminated drafts and used 15% or less part cooling, ABS/ASA printed just fine.

[@WhiteWulfe]

Ooh, starting with a v0. Make sure you have the newest manual, as such always helps out (doubly so since it reminds you about pre-loading nuts)

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Just finishing up the wiring on my formbot v0.1 Top tips: read the entire section before putting that bit together. Look up v0 no-drop nut mod. Lining up nuts is a bit of a pain. And trying to rotate the printer to slide a nut along a bit and drop 10 other nuts out other extrusions is a pain. Double and triple check you have preloaded enough nuts before putting the frame together. Check where you are putting your electronics before vhb taping it down. Its a twat to get off. Generally it is quite enjoyable to put together. Just fiddley because everything is small.

Welcome to the party 🎉. Voron s are great printers. For the parts, I would ask in the Voron discord if someone near you could print them for you. It usually should work. Or use the pif program. You will only pay a small fee but you should get good quality parts and it doesn’t take too long. For the v.0, check the kirigami bed mod. especially the ldo version. It is probably the most useful thing, as it ads stiffness to the bed. eSun Abs + is a good choice. We are printing all the parts with it and it simply works ( having a chamfer temp of 40-50deg C. helps probably)

[@bryanlee7295]

Bed slingers i think are major introducer of draft as the part is being slinged through the air. I run an Ender 6 and in 3 years i haven't had half as much problems as bed slingers have (not a scientific conclusion, just based on 3 years of following 3d printing social medias and forums)

[@lolzlarkin3059]

I built my Voron V0.1 from the FYSTEC kit. I paid 500$ at the time. The linear rails are terrible quality. In the provided config for Klipper the hotend and heated bed sensors were reversed. The highest acceleration I could get my motors is 2000mm/s2 (while hot). The good news, mechanical parts are ok, all the profiles and plexiglass parts aligned well. All electronics worked out of the box. I used my SD card with firmware compiled by me, the one supplied with is suspiciosly large size for what it is. With the current price ~400$ I recommend.

Every few months somebody will show up in the Voron Discord with "fancy high something-schmomting" pla and try to print Voron parts. They very quickly learn the errors of their way.

[@AM-jw1lo]

Having build the LDO kit, i say yes its a nice printer, but it turned into a time hole. For someone new.. Voron did a bad design on z axis adjustment. the screw needs a longer throw and to be stable. I couldn't buy a pi and did the Manta and CB1 good choice, very little help. Back to the build, i hate the system for the extruder, if you have problems with the extruder (i did) it becomes a test that you don't damage any wires, no multiply that everytime you have to do something to troubleshoot. If you want to stay with the main group, you will need a pi but there is a discord and thats a big plus.

NIce viewing/filming window that you cut in your enclosure. I agree that just stopping drafts is a huge part of preventing warp, based on general observations. Also ABS you shouldn't use a cooling fan almost at all, and use a brim with 0mm separation gap and you can easily remove excess with a deburring tool.

[@LostInTech3D]

Aha, yes obligatory deburring tool video coming up 🤣

[@keiransolaris1929]

No fan kind of depends on the temp of thr air your fan is blowing. You don't want 100% like you would for PLA. Some brand aof ABS I print like 10% base fan, some like 25. For all of them I have bridging settings with 50-75 fan. Ambient in my enclosure is around 50C when printing.

[@viru52000]

Definitely depends on the chamber temp of the air. In a Voron 2.4 with chamber temp over 50C, my cooling fan is on 100% printing normal cheap ABS. I am still using the Afterburner with the smaller cooling fan, with Stealthburner you MAY have to turn the fan down a bit. Without it, you get tons of curling and absolute crap bridging.

You can print ABS/ASA in an area you live in if you filter the air. This is the way the Voron was designed. I don't know about the v0, but the v2.4 which I built has an carbon air filter on the exhaust to deal with this. I personally also added a carbon filter inside the Voron to further filter the air, as well as a surgical mask to the exhaust filter to filter any particulates Admittedly, I printed my Voron ASA parts initially just on my desk on my ender since I figured I was only doing this once, and once won't hurt that much. I've since only printed ASA/ABS on my Voron which has a good filtration system

[@XxBanziixX1]

I'm curios to see the strength of your ABS prints. I print my ABS and ASA in a completed closed enclosure that heats to around 40 Celsius. From my personal experience the layer adhesion strength is quite different from printing at room temperature and and printing at around 40. Might not matter for use for parts in a printer though.

very much so. esun abs+ can be printed unenclosed given that your slicer settings are tuned correctly. "normal" abs blends ie. those without the additives like esun abs+ are pretty much impossible to print without an enclosure.

[@keiransolaris1929]

Esun ABS+ is an easier version of ABS, really good for beginners. It's low warp but I've found that it tends to be more brittle than other ABS. Fusion Filaments ABS 1.5 prints amazingly for me in my voron 2.4 and their ABS 2.0 is supposed to be a low warp variety of thst similar to ABS + without the brittle aspect.

The part about the ABS/ASA argument being dumb, and not printing it in the same room you're in; IS dumb if that's what you're going to argue.. especially if you're going to infer that people are dumb for disagreeing with you. There are literally studies and journaled tests that log the offgassing and air quality and list the results in parts per million (PPM) and assess that against the health impacts.. They all determine that the levels in a room with an acceptable level of ventilation won't cause any detrimental health problems. The only risk is irritation in some people with different reactions to it. You'd have to stick your head inside an enclosed printer for hours to intake the amount required to impact your health.

Hi there, I've just ordered the same kit 10 days ago and printing my parts atm. Would you be so kind and provide me with the thickness of the acrylic sheets are, so that I can print the parts for the enclosure bevor mine will arrive? greetings from Germany :)

[@LostInTech3D]

Hello! I have lost my calipers at the moment, but with a normal ruler it would appear to be 2mm, so that is what I will use anyway!

[@grn-xx]

Just 3 degrees? xD in Germany we recently had -15 degrees. Something we haven't had in a long time though to be honest

[@TheGlitchyCorgi]

Wait, wait, wait... you can't just slip that Cold Snap news clipping in like that, you gotta let us read the whole thing. LOL

[@LostInTech3D]

Hahaha

[@TechieSewing]

Yeah, I've paused and read it all, hilarious!

[@morsbs0808]

You should try the LDO kit.

[@LostInTech3D]

Hehe I might 😁

[@dtibor5903]

Just amazes me why people don't buy a cheap wardrobe cabinet. You just may need to add a shelf in it and boom, you can fit 3 printers inside, or 2 printers and all the spare parts

[@LostInTech3D]

different needs, I have all sorts of weird places I keep my printers, including but not limited to the floor

[@3Dmaking]

Regarding PETG vs ABS: You can get PETG with a grass transition temperature of 100˚C, you just need to look for it (on the internet) 😂

[@gotmilkbutt]

There are a lot more physical and mechanical differences between those two plastics.

[@3Dmaking]

If you have watched the video you will know that the author focused on the glass transition temperature and heat creep as an issue. Why should I focus on other properties of the material? From an engendering perspective ABS and PETG are in the same material group known as plastic. As an example both Prusa and RatRig use PETG for the printed parts. And it is not like that Voron will support a high temperature in the enclosure as the panes are Acrylic. 😉

I have already built several Voron Legacy. Can not source linear rails here ... 🙃

[@LostInTech3D]

wow that is...irritating.

[@Lcperez511]

Have fun! I did.

[@LostInTech3D]

Thanks! 👍

[@InsidiousDr9]

Was the printer pulling more current to stay at temp?

[@LostInTech3D]

I must assume so, but it was still PIDing, I could tell that much, so it had more power in reserve. Probably also took a fair bit longer to heat up.

[@hayden9944]

Have you seen the VzBot AWD? Build one of them too

[@nevarDeathEHW]

As an American, I would love an explanation of the UK wire plug! For instance, which end goes in the wall? Why can't you just use the same thing we do in America? Does electricity work differently in the UK? Are the plugs the same in Scotland as they are in Ireland? Northern Ireland? I wish we had schools here

[@dangerous8333]

😂 Public school definitely. ✌️

[@chrismorton8412]

cool i might build one

[@XxHorseshoeXx]

You can build this thing if you really like a large project. If you just want an amazing printer buy one for the same price or for cheaper lol

[@LostInTech3D]

well yes 😂

[@CuttinInIdaho]

i love ABS... but fumes, not so much. So I bought an enclosure...my life has improved, and I lost my gravely smoker voice!

[@CraftySven]

not everyone should build a voron. It is (at least was) a very selective process and user base. You need to know quite few things before even doing so. I would only recommend this printer to a handful of people.

[@LostInTech3D]

I'm pretty sure the actual voron team don't share your opinion, voron is for everyone 👍

[@ChristianBehnke]

Opinion: You should not stop staring at cucumbers. 😄

[@the4thj]

Hey, this is a good one...ya know for a change.
