Did you complete the build? It would be nice yo have a follow up video with your verdict after actually putting it together and using the printer for a bit
I've build of v2. 4 and sourcing the BOM pain and so expensive, this kit looks fine, after you getting running your voron you can replace some parts anyway, but definitely less expensive if you want to source all that your self 👍
Kit looks top notch. Who cares if the rails are misuimi. You have legit parts that matters. And u got a dragon hotend. Probably the best one the market. That's why slice shut it down. I have 2 dragons and a dragonfly. Definitely a 1000 dollar kit in my opinion. U did good sir.
I just bought this kit. Thank you so much for the unboxing. I have seen some videos on these kits and it seems that the screws rust pretty easily. Have you had any of these issues? I can't wait for the follow-up video. Thank you!
I just bought the v0 kit. I purchased a second belt immediately it was $8 on Amazon and the extra length was sooooooo much easier to pull through even though it ended up just getting cut off it was worth it for the hand hold. I ended up getting it right tight with no tools?
Thanks for doing this unboxing. I've got a FORMBOT kit due to arrive in about a week, and I'll be curious to see how it compares. I was also wondering about the drama over the SSR. Like you, I've never actually seen reports of these things failing on these printers, just that those devices tend to fail short when they do fail. I'm tempted to pick up another questionable SSR and put it in series with the neutral and drive both of them. Or perhaps an external mechanical relay in series that I can drive off a spare GPIO pin somewhere to reliably drop power to the bed when the printing stops. I think it's less than 7A of current at 120v.. And the thermal fuse as well.. Probably should get a thermal fuse for my Ender 3 in case the MOSFET driving it craps out.. I'll be watching your experience building this printer if you happen to make more videos; thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.
There were just a couple screws missing, maybe 3? I don't recall which sizes. I had already purchased additional M3s and M5s so it was a non-issue for me. Everything else was fine.
So I'm not an electrical engineer or qualified in any way to give any advice that won't kill you after maiming and burning your family and everyone you know to death. The SSR thing is real and horrible and severely riddled with fakes they don't even meet half or a quarter of the rates capacity. For a while you could just buy a double rated SSR and know it was probably half the rated value, now you can't be sure it's even an 8th the value. The name brand ones cost like $70-110 for that form factor of SSR. That being said I don't think the load on a 3d printer is huge. Order the real one and don't leave the printer without the fuse and I think you're safe failed open because the thermal fuse right?
