I have both. Prefer the trident honestly. It heats up a little faster since your heat is trapped at the top. I like that the gantry is fixed instead of having four gantry corners to level. Your Trident bed is pretty much always level so you only run one round of ztilt, while the quad gantry shifts every time you turn the steppers off. The build and the cost is pretty much the same. You probably won’t regret either one.
If "unique and exciting" are your priorities then the 2.4 w/ it's flying gantry is probably going to be a better choice for you. The _vast_ majority of other CoreXY printers (including the Trident) uses some variation of the "bed on lead screws" design.
Just get longer extrusions and you can build a 400mm. There are people building 500mm+. Not ideal for rigidity but you could do it. 400 is not that big of a jump from 350
How did you install mainsail on your tablet? I couldn't find any good documentation to get it up and running like that. I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 and would like to have my tablet like that too, is there a specific app or approach you took to install that like that...Super cool 😎 btw
What is the tapping sound? Your nozzle is hitting the bed while probing with an inductive sensor? Is the 0.005mm variance you mentioned in one of the replies with a cold printer? (like in this short)
well in that case id go for a v0.2 , the less steppers, fewer components and thus are a good bit cheaper , i buit a fytsec kit for 400 +100$ tax and shipping plus 40$ for 2 spools of abs
I was thinking about making this exact printer. I heard there were issues with the 350mm Voron. Have you encountered any of these? (issues with Ringing)
To get the same ringing performance on a 350 as one of the smaller patterns, you'll either need to pull accelerations back a bit, use more aggressive input shaping (which has drawbacks of its own), and/or use upgrades that reduce gantry and/or printhead mass.
I’m using a Chinese Omron probe. I found them to be very good. This is the second printer that I’m using it on. The mesh is super consistent and I rarely have issues with the first layer. I’ve never had it melt on me either, even when I printed PA12 at 270c non-stop for a week. If you want the link of the one I’m using: a.aliexpress.com/_mqfyyuS
Nope, never have issues with first layer. I just realized that every time it probes it puts out exact same number or within 0.005mm or something range which is plenty enough for a 0.2mm layer. Saves a few seconds I guess
Dope! The Vorons have auto leve?! That's cool but most Elegoos come standard with auto level now. Plus they're like half the price and don't come in a bunch of separate parts you have to spend hours putting together before you get printing. Kind of envious of the nozzle light though. The Neptune 4 finally has one also. I'll just wait til the price lowers a bit and go with that.
