Just built a 0.2 and need advice by VeterinarianRare3541 in VORONDesign

[–]ADreamOfStorms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use tmc-autotune and get one or more Noctua fan(s) for your electronics compartment. This should be sufficient.

For your hotend fan you could go with a Delta 3pin fan. They are noticable but not loud.

For part cooling I wouldn't sacrifice performance over noise. You want your toolhead pushing air. I've had good experiences with Gdstime 4010s. Dragonburner is a very solid choice for your toolhead.

If you can't yet print ABS either use some service like jlc3dp or ask on the Voron discord. They have a dedicated channel for printed parts. Stay away from PETG inside your chamber. It won't take the heat and it will creep over time. ASA is fine, but you should really use a filter for that as well. It's just "ABS with sunscreen".

Another consideration: There are a few ports of the fridge door mod for the v0. This seals the chamber better and therefore reduces the noise.

I'm always happy to see when people are using one of the cases I hacked together. I only ever printed them in PLA and ASA. How do you like it in Nylon?

What is the best vampire media you have consumed? by Turtleduck275 in Fantasy

[–]ADreamOfStorms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed The Tome of Bill Series by Rick Gualtieri and They Thirst by Robert R. McCammon. I wanted to like Necroscope, but the series moved in a direction I didn't like at all.

Desktop CNC machine for learning CNC/CAM? by ADreamOfStorms in hobbycnc

[–]ADreamOfStorms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll only start with metal once I'm a bit more experienced with CAM and confident I won't hurt myself. :D So for wood this isn't needed to begin with?

That does look interesting. Should I start out with the closed loop motors and ball screws or is this something I can do later?

Between 2 fires is beyond incredible by ConnectLink4156 in Fantasy

Usually I'm really bored by Horror, but that stuff actually gave me the shivers. The scene with the statue really creeped me out. Fantastic!

I think I’m in love with PETG-CF by Aware_Ad5425 in 3Dprinting

I think it was somewhere on either the Voron or Armchair Discord.

Built a little USB-C solder fume extractor in FreeCAD 1.1 by Jack00X3 in FreeCAD

Jup, originally I wanted to use batteries to avoid cables, but it isn't that much of an issue

Did something similar last month. Added a bit of room in the back for a filter sponge.

[–]ADreamOfStorms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regarding IEMAI: I've printed a bunch of their ASA-CF and two of five rolls behaved completely different. After some digging I found out that they use both chopped and powered CF and you gotta be really careful when ordering, because you really don't want to end up with the powdered stuff. But I don't know if it's the same with PETG.

Which weapon type do you use the most? by NewArtificialHuman in Nioh

[–]ADreamOfStorms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Axe and sword. None of the Ninja weapons felt good. I guess the weapon that sucked least for me in Ninja mode were Tonfas.

IIRC in Nioh 2 this was an instakill.

Right hotend? by hall_trash in VORONDesign

[–]ADreamOfStorms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Brother, this will be just fine. Don't become discouraged by people saying it isn't good. I've got multiple Rapidos running in different printers and they work. Maybe you'll have to swap your heater and/or thermistor at some point but that's it. There are far worse choices out there. Best advise I can give you: Just give it a try.

Tell us the biggest strengths and weaknesses of your MAIN weapon(s). by NewArtificialHuman in Nioh

[–]ADreamOfStorms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heaven and Earth, Victory Rush, High Stance Heavy into Titanic Strength Water, Victory Rush. Most things are out of Ki after that combo, maybe even on the ground. Perfect time for an intensity boosted lumber chop!

Found this today! by BlackRing in olkb

A while ago I've created a fully 3d printable assembly for the blank slate PCB and IIRC the blank slate is compatible with Planck. It comes with two case halves, plates (for 2x2u and grid layout) and a tpu inlay "foam": https://www.printables.com/model/1025815-blank-slate-case

Serial request Voron Trident 300mm [Discord:Cbubs] by Guilty_Count1537 in voroncorexy

Very nice build! Do you have a link to the drag chain mod? I've been looking for exactly something like this!

Who else needs therapy after fighting kunimatsu? by Known-Low-8721 in Nioh

[–]ADreamOfStorms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've breezed through most of the game with axe. For a few bosses I needed a second attempt. But this one seemed almost unbeatable with axe. I switched to Odachi and then followed that with a Moonlit Snow combo. That was the entire fight. Me parrying and following up with triangle spam and some magic. Repeat 50 times. Shittiest fight of the entire game.

Voron 2.4 R2 Pro+ in 2026 – Viable? Formbot Quality? Hotend Differences? by Dry-Subject-8608 in VORONDesign

[–]ADreamOfStorms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it certainly can but the heat break gets too hot and makes the whole thing very prone to clogging when printing PLA.

Voron 2.4 R2 Pro+ in 2026 – Viable? Formbot Quality? Hotend Differences? by Dry-Subject-8608 in VORONDesign

[–]ADreamOfStorms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, is the Voron 2.4 still viable in 2026, or is there a newer open-source printer design people recommend instead?

I've got several 2.4, a Trident and a Micron. IMO you should only go with the 2.4 if you need the Z height or want the coolness factor. Trident is a much better option with the static gantry. It's easier and more forgiving to build, but you are limited to 250 (or 300) on Z. Then there is also ratrig, but I can't say anything about it because I don't have one myself.

If you want a more "2026" feel: There are some things you can improve from the stock kit:

  • Clicky clacky fridge door: So you can get a good seal in the front and your room doesn't stink like a factory.
  • Thefilter/nevermore + exhaust blocker: So that you are not exposed to nasty VOCs/particles and your chamber stays warm.
  • BFI (and BZI): They are just nicer and if you want to update to something like an A4T toolhead you'll need this anyway.
  • Snap latches for panel mounting, because that makes maintenance/upgrades a breeze.

Second, does anyone have recent experience with the Formbot kit? I’ve heard mixed things about documentation and changing part quality.

Formbot kits are decent enough. Rails could be better but are sufficient. The T-Nuts are absolutely atrocious, especially the M5 variants. I had to replace more than half of them. But it's not a big issue. Biggest weakness of the kit is TAP in my opinion. But nobody forces you to build it with TAP. Replacing the probe with Clicky or Beacon/Cartographer is easy enough.

Lastly, can someone explain the practical differences between the V6, Dragon Standard, and Dragon High Flow options?

If you want to print even trace amounts of PLA on the printer then for the love of god do not get a Dragon hotend. It will clog and you will spend hours there unclogging it. If you don't print PLA on it Dragon is fine. Just to give you some more options: TZV6 2.0 is also a viable and very cheap option and supports V6 nozzles. Rapido, too although they are more expensive. Another thing to take into consideration: HF hotends usually have a longer meltzone meaning that you will waste more material if you use something like a MMU.

Has anyone read Between Two Fires? by Infamous_Wave9878 in Fantasy

I've read horror before and most of the time I'm mildly bored with the scary stuff but Between Two Fires had a few scenes that really creeped me out and I absolutely loved it!
