40Hrs in 40Min Montage... How to build a 3D-Printer... Voron Trident Edition 

Thank you!

I'm glad you liked the video, I wanted to do something that's different from the live-stream builds that are more common in the community. I've been meaning to upgrade to CAN for a while now, I am hoping to make an update video with a couple upgrades I am working on. Figure its probably for the best to get them all done at once.

Yes that's correct... It uses an M3 Spring-nut and that section is just held with one M3 bolt.

@@MakerMilo thx!

Thank you, and yes I have a couple videos that I am working on that go over the build once everything is enclosed. Not to mention I want to post the Voron serial request video soon. I really enjoyed the build, was a little difficult to record but it was well worth it.

Thank you! I've been having issues with the cable chain on the tool head, it arches too much, thinking of going umbilical with can-bus. The base color is not white, its ABS-natural, on the video it looks white but in person, it has this bone-like color that I honestly love.

@@MakerMilo yeah if you switch the ends of the cable chain you’ll notice that one side will stop while the other side rotates freely. Canbus is a solid upgrade and I would recommend it.

@@JKtech3D Thank you, I will actually do that very soon, it bothers me that it arches up. My friend built his at the same time I did and his chain didn’t arch up like mine. Thanks again for the info 😁

Thank you... I am really happy with how it turned out.

Got it, thanks for the feedback

I got to be honest... I used a normal pi for this, so I am not familiar as to what the setup looks like for the BTT pi. If its anything like the normal one though you need to create an image of mainsail and put it in the sd card you'll use. If you got that that far then I can help you with the config stuff as it should be pretty much the same from there on.

I have a discord server up for the channel its not quite done yet but its functional, I can give it to you so that we can talk on there.

Thank you

It was my first 3D build so it definitely took a little longer the forecasted 40hrs. I was recording so that adds time but in all honesty it was really pleasant so I cannot wait to do another build.

Sure thing, I’d love to 😁

Thank you! Thats the reason I’ve made these videos. I have 2 more (soon to be a third) videos that kind of go over tips before the build. Hope those help too.

Heck yeah, thank you!

Hey and thank you. My main parts are ABS natural (Matter Hackers build series), I have to thank my PIF provider he went the extra mile and printed all my parts in ABS natural, not to mention the quality is out of this world. ABS natural has become my favorite filament to print functional parts in as it is a joy to work with and is incredibly durable. BTW this was a formbot kit with the exception of the frame. I love it and going forward all my kits will be formbot as it’s hard to beat their quality and price. Serial Request video is coming soon. It will show the printer with all the bells and whistles 😁

@MakerMilo I thought it was a formbot kit! The octopus board kinda had me guessing :) definitely keep us all posted bud! Any mods you are looking at adding?

@@TimothyScotts1 So This was recorded over a month ago. Since then I have added Nevermore, chainber thermistor, case lights, angry cam, and a scrubbing brush + bucket. I am working on a new one because the trident doesn't have much space for one (when running tap). I am looking into auxilliary cooling and Can module since my build is kind of heavy on the cables. I am also working on a separate reserculation mod to hopefully make chamber temps more consistent but I want to see if that's necessary once I add the auxilliary cooling. C-pap seems to be the new trend but I really like the bamboo lab approach. So yeah Plenty of stuff coming if school allows me to work on it 😅.

@MakerMilo awesome stuff! Which scrubber set did you wind up going with, and how effective do you find it?

@@TimothyScotts1 I ended up going with an angled scrubber… I’ll link it in the next video. It’s not perfect but in my opinion a scrubber is not optional but necessary for any printer; specially a voron running tap where the nozzle is your probe. I am working on a better design that takes advantage of the trident’s z movement. We will see, got a lot of stuff on my backlog at the moment 🤭

I only kept the one try that worked in the video (I was at it for way longer than I care to admit). Even with the manual + videos it was difficult to get the part to cooperate.

Naw, you can't have too many Vorons LOL. I have a black frame from the kit that I didn't end up using, planning on updating my CR10 to a trident or a VZbot... Not sure yet

@@MakerMilo I’m getting a 3rd, it’s between converting my Aquila x2 into a switch wire or building another 2.4

@@erik3205 Nice! I am still in between making my CR-10 into a switchwire or just turning it into a more modded version of the trident. If I go with the trident Idea I will likely make it a speed machine since my trident is already pretty reliable all things considered. If I go with the switchwire it will likely be a PLA only machine, not sure about that though since I do like the versatility of an enclosed printer and speed is fun.

Thank you! But no I struggled quite a bit still though, 100% would build another.

Thank you 😊

I’m very happy to know you enjoyed it 😊. Got more coming soon hopefully they have the same reception as this one 😁.

I bought my kit from Formbot but I did some changes. I bought the frame from LDO since I really wanted a red frame, I used a revo voron hotend, and instead of the Omron bed probe I went with tap. The formbot kit is really good though, I’d say nearly unbeatable at its price point.

Yes I figured that out the hard way when I was doing my belt tension tuning. Got it sorted out after some minor procrastination 😅

www.formbot3d.com/products/voron-trident-corexy-3d-printer-kit-with-premade-wiring-harness?VariantsId=10523 They are having a huge Halloween sale. The printer is currently 100$ cheaper than what I paid for it. Hope this helps 😁
