voron 2.4 - anybody with actual experience (vorondesign.com)

Hello,

I was interested in building a high end printer, mostly for the fun of it and learning what goes into it. I've been looking at the Voron and on the page looks really nice; however, I've been unable to find a lot of actual print quality, speed, and capability comparisons.

Does anybody here have experience or recommendations of other high end, self build, printer designs?

I'd be using my customized printer based on the ender 3 max platform.

Really, looking to improve in a few areas:

proper enclosure and venting so I don't continue to poison myself when printing abs.
elimination of ringing caused by that heavy bed swinging around at high speed
ability to ramp up the print speed past 50mm/s

I'd also love the ability to play with multi-matrtial printing, but not high on the list.

Thanks all

The Voron community is a bit like a cult. Do everything by their book and you will have a good printer and many friends. But do not start to ask too many whys or modify your machine in an unapproved way.

I reccomend to keep your printer, install klipper and keep on tinkering.

So, I bought myself a rpi4 and installed Klipper. Very cool firmware quite enjoying it. Still tuning but i've got my speed up 3x from my Marlin based firmware. I think I'll continue looking at the options here recommended and build one -- mostly because I want to -- not because I am solving a problem. Thanks for putting me onto Klipper.
