Yeah, all tool heads show up and they do seem to work, BUT: I have seen an other video from a guy who also connected his (6) tool heads in parallel and is seemed to work fine when printing PLA. When printing ABS (higher temps) is was unreliable.. He started trouble shooting, adding cooling fans, and in the end swapping out his USB2CAN board for an other brand. This fixed his particular issue, but later on he discovered the real problem causing the issues he was having; Tool heads connected in parallel, and not in series. He did the connection the right way, and then the other USB2CAN board also turned out to work fine when printing ABS. So the moral of the story; Please stick to the official way when connecting CAN devices, it an save you a lot of trouble in the long run..

I notice your cubes have exactly the same flaws mine have. And, I don't see those flaws on many other cubes out there... I'm talking about the slight indentation (and lighter color blue) to the left and right of the voron logo on the X-face. And, when you flip the cube, there is discoloration (lighter blue again) in splotches on another side. I'm not so worried about the color, but I think that may indicate stresses or differences in internal adhesion where the splotches are. Did you ever figure out what caused that? I was able to dramatically reduce mine by slowing way down. But it still has a hint of it, so I don't think it is very much a speed thing... And slowing way down is not a very good solution! Odd that you and I have this when it doesn't seem to show up much when you search for images of these cubes.

I am wondering if it's this specific filament that displays this problem. I am using Sparta3D's Sparkle ABS/ASA (aka West3D's Ambrosia ABS/ASA). Other filaments don't show these issues (or at least not as much).
@JeffreyHawkins
@JeffreyHawkins 22 дня назад
@@oldguymeltsplastic I ended up starting over from a default Orca profile for Voron. The second time through resulted in a much better result, but unfortunately this process wiped out my ability to confirm what was wrong. I suspect the slight indentation was a combo of a tricky filament as you suggest, with too high of acceleration. The color change in spots may also have had something to do with choice of infill. Cubic seems more prone to this.

They were installed about a year ago when I also installed the LDO 2804 AB motors. The CNC motor mounts and XY joints have worked very well for me so far, no issues at all. I was advised that the LDO 2804 motors run hot (they do), so I wanted to make sure that the motor mounts weren't going to be melted by the heat from the motors. Bonus is that the motors help generate more heat in the enclosure, while also being able to use most of the printer frame as a giant heat sink.

I haven't found a lot of other people trying the CNC gantry. I know you went back to the 2020 because you didn't see improvements, but were there any issues with the light gantry? Fysetc is including it in their 2.4 kit by default now.
@oldguymeltsplastic
@oldguymeltsplastic Месяц назад
I bent it out of shape fairly easily by over tightening the M5 bolts meant to hold it in place. Although it was considerably lighter than the 2020 extrusion, I didn't really see much performance gains, so I eventually went back to the 2020 extrusion.

Sorry, couldnt resist. Connecting pins while powered on is a recipe for magic smoke. I fried an Octopus about a year back doing just that, while connecting endstops. Before that, I tried to measure voltage while on, burnt another Octopus when my multimeter probe slipper and I injected 24v to the 3.3v rail. And even that wasnt the first time. I can go on and on. I cant seem to learn from my mistakes, but here is to hoping someone else might learn from them.

Hi Steph I am wondering where you found the guide for installing the V2.4 X axis toolhead mount. They don't go into detail on the install of the alternate mounts on the rapid burner git hub. I think I have all the parts printed including the probe carriage. I am going to go with a beacon as well. It seems like I have to attach the x mount to the hot end mount first with a single screw in the top then attach to the mgn12 rail. Does the single screw just allow you to pivot the part to access the other 2 MGN 12 mounting screws from the front? Then feed the belts in etc then secure the other 2 screws connecting the x axis mount to the hot end mount. Seems like a not very ideal way to attach this please let me know if I am looking at this correctly.
