I have two Prusa MK3S+ printers and I am currently building a Voron. 2.4r2 -- when my wife thought I was crazy for trying to setting up a small print farm in my shed I showed her your video and it made me feel not so crazy. Thank You!
Hahahah glad I could help! I have an extra prusa mini, resin printer, wash station and 350mm voron trident in there too now with a bambu x1c coming soon haha 😄
I love how you make use of your space. How hot does it get in there? All those printer and crypto mining I bet you don’t need to pay for heating in the winter.
Yeah that's what I like too. I'm a carpenter and metal fabricator and I like to build modular things so I love it when people get ingenuitive with their space.
Thanks mate its bigger now got 4x prusa minis 3x mk3s with mmu2s Anycubic photon resin and wash station Voron 2.4 350 with 12 cart ercf Voron trident 350 Another voron trident and 12 ercf not built yet And a bambulab x1c on its way
Got even more printers now since this vid haha I don't vent haha just leave that big window open and avoid the room when printing. Most of the voc stay in the enclosures so can't really smell it
You bring up a really good point. It seems like he's been doing this for a while, so hopefully everything is rated appropriately. Extensions aren't an issue as long as you run them well within rating (ideally 60% or less of max amperage).
The prusa mk3s use 120w each when printing abs, prusa minis about 90w And the voron about 250w Led lights are 350w total and usb power supplies 300w. So 880w + 650w = 1530w with all printers running plugged into a 240v 10amp socket (2400w) so only at 66% with all printers and lights on. There's plug in heaters or vacuum cleaners that pull more power from a single plug so will be fine ✌🏽
@@keenzkustoms2408 That's assuming it's the only socket on that circuit. The peak load will be rare to hit however, so yeah you're probably ok. It'll just be if there is a fire, insurance might not cover it if power boards plugged into power boards are discovered after the event.
I have the same Lack setup with the paving stone. I've noticed it makes the interior height too small so when the printer head gets all the way to the top it kinda squishes the filament. I added an extra bit of height to the mounting blocks.
@KeenzKustoms: What thickness is the Acrylic door panels on you Voron 350? I'm struggling to find affordable thicker acrylic plates, and I'm afraid that 2mm is just too flimsy?
Interesting stuff. I'm getting a prusa mini this winter, will be my first one. Mostly just wanting to work out engineering designs in my coursework, I can't imagine waht I would do with 8 printers. I don't want to prod but I'm just curious what your end goals are with this. How you went from 1 to to 2 to 8 printers and wanting more?
I don't want to speak for him but it looks like he wants to produce, but also likes to tinker. Like me, he probably likes to constantly find the best hardware, or take basic hardware and push it to its limits, be it printers or computers or tools. He thinks like an engineer and I imagine he is very frugal at the same time, doing many things/mods himself and stretches his dollar. The kind of person you'd want to be with in a post-apocalyptic world. 👍
Started with 1 mk3s printing and designing parts for my subaru forester. My friends liked the parts and wanted me to make them some so I did. Then they're friends wanted the parts so started charging a small price to cover filament and ordering in colors for what they wanted. Then just kept getting more and more orders so needed another mk3s to keep up and made the website and listed the parts on etsy and eBay Then got more orders so got the 3rd mk3s and 3 minis in 1 order from prusa. Wanted to print larger items so got the voron and loved it. Going to start swapping or adding 350mm voron tridents to the farm now too keep up with demand. I print lots of different parts and in heaps of color combinations so makes it had to keep stock as they're is so many variations. Also have some big clients that constantly get cad and printing jobs done that keeps them busy. Thanks Dan! Feel free to come over when the virus turns into a zombie apocalypse ✌🏽😄

would go with something like a prusa mini as your first printer or a mk3s if you have the budget for it. the voron requires alot more work such as compiling your own firmware so gets quite involved. where as the prusas are pretty much plug and play and the screens guide you though getting your first print set up so works good as a first printer.
Agree with the above, get a Prusa mini, learn a lot and then use it build a Voron. The Vorons are great second printers, wouldn't recommend them as a first.
Dope farm! I need to find someone with a working config for the BTT smart Filament sensor to copy. How do you like the voron 2.4 for production printing?
Thanks mate! Just using the recommended cfg on btt github but added an extra 3mm for detection length Yea its a beast! Can't wait till it has the ERCF on it tho as most of my prints require a color change half way. But for now this just handles all the big items
@@keenzkustoms2408 Wasn't able to find the config, must be in the klipper one. My issue is the pinout on the mini e3 skr v2 for the sensor but i'll get it.

What is the print speed difference, on average, using the Voron vs Prusas? Just curious the print time savings that can be expected. Also, is it proving reliable for long prints and prolonged use? Any upgrades/changes from the standard spec? Cheers! Last question: I'm a total newbie to 3D printing, but good with making stuff and have a bit of Arduino exerience and electronics/soldering etc. Would a Voron be too much for someone like me as a first printer to build? I'm attracted to the print speed for prototyping for the project I have in mind which is my reason for getting into 3D printing... but my shortlist is either a Voron or a Prusa Mini+ (rationale: reliable, good quality, can print various filaments - all straight out of the box... good community around it). If you think a Voron would be an option, which would you go for as alternative to Prusa Mini+? I was thinking of the Voron 0.1 as I don't need a larger build area for the project I'm working on, and can always scale up later for production if all goes to plan... but meantime it keeps my costs down and alows fast prototyping for iterations when designing. Thanks for reading my mini novella!
the voron is about 3-4 times quicker then my mk3s so slowly going to swap out the prusas for vorons. the mini is super easy to use so great for beginners and just works where as the voron will require alot more setting up. the voron comunity will be happy to help you along the way tho and many good videos out to help. can also pm me and ill help you when i can.
@@keenzkustoms2408 Thanks so much for the speedy response, and the generous offer of help with questions on the Voron build. I've joined the Voron discord, but not yet had the chance to look around. That speed difference is irresistable, but I realise it comes at a cost - for a newbie like me - which is the learning curve and longer setup. I do have one final question to inform this decision: are your Mk3s running Klipper, and so benefitting from its tuning? Or could running a Mini+ on Klipper be a half-way house for me?
@@keenzkustoms2408 Sorry mate, one more question ha ha... Would I be correct in thinking that a Voron 0.1 with Bowden setup would be a faster printer than a Voron 1.8 direct drive? I'm trying to weigh up 180mm build plate vs 120mm... thanks!
This looks like a setup I would have. The Mini speed testing is impressive! Especially considering I've been looking at vorons lately. I'm in a situation right now where I only have one heavily modified Ender 3 V2 and I learn rather quickly. After only 3 months of printing I'm already doing prototyping and I would like to start doing some small production work. I can't decide whether to start with a Voron or with Prusa minis. Which one is more productive for you? Do you use the voron for production or is it just for prototyping and fun? I almost bought a v0.1 until I realized just how small the build volume was. I like rat rigs too. I want something I can start using to sell products right away. The fact the mini can print as fast as it can is almost making me lean towards that. Not that I even want 250 mm/s. If it prints clean at 180 I would be happy. Subscribed! 👍😎
Hey mate! Thankyou! Cant beat the voron! I use it for heaps of my orders and making all the parts for the vorons I sell. Having the larger build volume is so helpful when setting up a bunch of prints to do all at once when I'm away. So the voron would be more productive. Especially when I get my ERCF on it and can print multimaterial. I'm going to slowly change the mk3s over to voron tridents if my ERCF works well.
@@keenzkustoms2408 Okay. The Voron is double the initial investment. I would probably go with a kit even though that wouldn't be my ideal route to take. Supply chain problems and inflation is getting worse. Also, Black Friday is coming up soon. Since you have both you are literally the best person to ask. Would you say one voron 2.4 is as productive as two or three minis? I was planning to buy a mini every 3 months. But if I can build a voron every 6 months. Thank you my brother from down under! 👍
@@keenzkustoms2408 Okay, damn, I want a smaller footprint. I just wish the v0.1 was at least 180mm. It would be such an easy decision. I would have to get at least two 2.4's in case one goes down. I'm also looking at a 1.8. Damn it!!!
this seems really redundant and sub optimal. just a few things like: - perspex isnt a great insulator for heat - mounting boxes dont stop vibration - the filaments pass through air so could attract moisture - no cleaning station - no where for peripherals eg kiln - no resin printers or environment to use them - most printers are not in use - no multi colour filament changer, just duel extruders - no QA equipment shown
Who asked for your opinion? His set up is exactly how he needs it. I think you should take a long look in the mirror, then you might realize why so many people in your life think you're a pessimistic nobody who can only contribute with negative bullshit.
-perspex is a better insulator then glass, main reason for it is to prevent drafts that warp the print. Doesn't have to be perfect just stay around 50c in there for abs not to warp so perspex works perfectly for this setup. -what vibrations? The printers each are sitting on a concrete paver which minimises vibration. ‐not trying to be perfectly dry just keep moisture levels down below 20%. Have the dehydrator If getting any issues with wet filaments but generally use the whole roll before it could absorb enough moisture so this just slows it enough to have no issues. -dont need cleaning station as not resin printing. -why do I need a klin? -my kind of work doesn't require resin printers atm but when I move to a garage setup I will get some. -didn't put any prints on as would be impossible to record good audio for the video with 7 printers running -have 3 multicolor filament changers (mmu2s) with 22 filaments loaded with a 15cart ERCF on the way. Don't have any duel extuders? -for QA I have gauges to test fit in the pods to make sure they fit and callipers for parts that need tight tolerances and the rest just requires a visual inspection as they're badges. This setup works perfectly for me. I would rather a larger space for some larger equipment like lazer cutters and cnc machines but for now just working with the room I have. Sorry that this setup is "sub optimal" for you, seams to be pretty perfect for me and lots of others seem to like it too 😁
