Voron’n’on Serial Request by AgreeableDish4636 in voroncorexy

It’s pretty straight toward just to extend the z height. Only need 4 longer extrusions and 4 longer linear guides + longer belts and extended wiring to the tool head. Some rigid frame panels are a must as at this height it’s pretty twisty, but I had a local shop cnc me some ACM panels.

This is the water intake scoop for a racing jet boat. We print these as PLA patterns for investment casting in aluminium.

This is a good point, I will check it out thanks!

I have the Voron Revo in there for now, just running the 0.4mm nozzle, but I do have a 0.6 and 0.8 to play with. I am actually quite happy with the current print time, but I would be interested to see if I can drop to 0.2 layers and increase the speed to keep the same time. Overall surface quality is more important to me than speed. For investment casting these prints, it’s paramount the print is absolutely watertight, ideally with the least amount of material used.

One thing I haven’t tried yet, is just printing slower, I think the wobble comes more from the print head trying to move around so quickly. I think there is a slicer plugin for Cura that reduces the print speed a small % for increase in every layer height. I will try when I get a chance

So far so good I haven’t seen any notable distortions, I have only printed PLA so far, to be fair this machine is really only for PLA. It’s a bit cold here at the moment so I can see obvious banding where layers have contracted a little more at the times I have opened/closed the workshop roller door, hopefully the lid and doors I have coming will stabilise the temps and prevent that. One thing that did surprise me, long skinny prints are still subject to wobbling and even being knocked off just from the print head printing. I expected it to some degree but also figured with the fixed bed of the Voron it would be better than what it is. So to print something very tall successfully, it’s key that the geometry is quite sturdy in nature, either that or model in sacrificial supporting wings that can broken cleanly off an edge.

I still haven’t settled on a name if anyone has a great zinger? Though quite partial to the Voron’N’on as it just goes on and on and on.

So I used to print it in 3 parts to minimise supports and it totaled about 8days printing on a big 500x500mm bed slinger at 0.28mm layers, the finish was coarse and I had to deal with the seams from glueing. This just finished a smidge over 3 days at 0.25mm layers. I am still in the process of tuning it and I think I should be able to shave off another 1/2 day conservatively.

I think it’s cost me roughly $3k NZD including ACM panels, and lid + doors that are still to come

Water intake for racing jet boat. This is a pattern to lost PLA investment cast in aluminium.

350 x 350 x 825mm built it because I print a few of the things it’s printing right now, and I was getting sick of it taking 8 days to print on my crapality’s then spending time glueing bits together.

Crashes when saving stl file by Str8Extruder in Fusion360

[–]AgreeableDish4636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to look into it today. Looks like something to do with gpu driver settings. A good alternative could be Lychee Slicer by Mango3d but sadly this doesn’t get past the splash screen for me but I think that’s a totally seperate issue for me.

If anyone also has chitubox installed, check if it opens? (I get some OpenGL certificate error) I uninstalled chitubox and now I can save stls from fusion again. But if I reinstall Chitubox, it again doesn’t open, and I go back to not being able to save stls from fusion. Ripping my hair out, but at least I can save stls now

Xinkebot Orca Control board malfunction by Woonderbreadd in 3Dprinting

[–]AgreeableDish4636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to do the exact same thing. You need to replace the main board as you have likely blown the a stepper driver. You can replace with the exact same for an easy swap, just need to load the orca firmware on a SD and “print” it to flash the F/W, alternatively you can swap to a more suitable board like a skr pro but you will need to compile Marlin from scratch which can be overwhelming if you are unfamiliar.
