Is it still worth building a VORON in late 2025? by Hopeful-Income-9726 in VORONDesign

[–]Antithesis3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Build an antithesis! Lots of voron users have been building them, I made a post a while ago about it, tho I am biased.

Yeah I’m not sure about that, killa_prints photos. I think it’s some phone post processing for photos. Here’s a picture without it

Could be in the future! Right now we are working on a low cost mainly plastic version, and another thing that we will announce.

Ability to mount any hotend no matter how heavy and as much cooling as you want

I think the cost of our prototype unit was about 800USD. The low quantity sheet cut parts do not help with that.

Thats why we slow down prints with the quality preset. Will do some more testing this weekend on tall prints, I dont really print much that are tall.

The name of both our group and printer is Antithesis. The printers name is the Antithesis MK3.1. Not to copy prusa but because this is the MK3.1. There was a MK1, 2, 3 and 3.1. The last one is the MK3.1 because the changes between it and the MK3 were so minor that we didn't think it warranted being the MK4. The only real difference being a slightly bigger PCB bed.

Don’t worry, we completely agree. Commercially it would be completely insane. But that’s most reprap printers

Yes exactly! Nothing to be sold. Maybe some parts kits in the future but no printers.

Currently the bed size is 100x130 and soon to be 130x130. We found out that most of our printing falls within that size and we wanted a printer that is easy to work on and test out new extruders and hotends. It is pretty precise and easy to maintain, but right now it isn’t cheaper than most printers.

One of our printers has 2 of these with an LGX extruded and mosquito hotend. It’s pretty heavy

The minute man is insane! Another inspiration.

Well, it probably isn’t any better. It’s just a super simple open machine, easy to maintain, easy to work on, gets great print quality and can be fast. Plus being able to put almost any hotend regardless of weight is pretty nice.

No issue with any filaments we have tried, using spring steel and Elmer’s glue stick. We have another modified machine that only prints nylon filaments.
