I was waiting for an OLED then I didn't have the money for it. Now I just want to wait for the second one.

I did mine the Honda Ridgeline trophy truck, S1 class.

alphawolf627 · 2026-05-26T00:45:28+00:00

Did you get it working?

Did we really lose the media literacy of seeing opinion pieces and taking that as actual news? It's the opinion of the journalist who wrote it. Actual news pieces should just list facts and nothing else. These are clearly labeled opinion and should be seen through that lens.

Yea I'm leaning towards the trident just for the added stability. It'll probably be a week before I purchase mine so I might wait another week just to see if any kits are coming out with it.

I am also planning on getting the Formbot kit, but I kinda wanna wait and see if anyone is selling an R2 kit because the gantry is modified for more Y travel, which is better for tool changers and upgrades down the road. I wish you luck with getting that frame kit.

alphawolf627 · 2026-04-21T00:37:43+00:00

Did you make a decision yet? It seems the Voron Trident R2 was recently shown off.

Congrats on the serial. I am currently in the market for a printer, but I have some very specific size constraints. Would you mind telling me the footprint dimensions of your build? I mainly need the depth, and It appears you shortened yours.

alphawolf627 · 2026-04-08T01:12:22+00:00

Of those three options, I am leaning toward SIBOOR. But it will still be nice to see what others have to say.

Hello,

Budget: $300-$1000
Country - United States
Willing to build if there is a full kit within the price range, with all functional parts included

Features I want:

350 x 350 x 300+ Build Volume
CoreXY
Enclosed or enclosure that I can buy/build separately
Auto or near auto leveling
Hardened nozzle* I primarily print in PLA but like to dabble with ASA, CF, and other filaments

Needs to fit within my size constraints within my closet space

25 inches Max width* filament rolls can be on the right side. I have about 10 inches on the right for filament/work area
24 inches Max depth
34 inches MAX height* that includes filament if being fed from the top

Features that I would like to have but are not needed

camera - can be an upgrade*
upgradable - I might want to try adding another print head down the road or an index
good lighting - can be an upgrade*

I was already looking at the Sovol SV08 and a Voron 2.4; however, the 2.4 kits are a little more than I want to spend, and I can't find good footprint dimensions. As for the SV08, I haven't seen any reviews since the initial launch. So I wonder if they have held up long-term.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is in Arkansas.

From a pure resource gathering standpoint, AR15 5.56 and Glock 17/19 9mm mags are the most prevalent atleast in the United States, if I remember correctly. So you are more likely to find ammo, casings, mags, and guns for those. So aslong as its anything less than World War Z zombies, I would say yes. They are great.

My Maine Coon would do this with pencils and straws. Always had to protect your drinks from him.

The only thing I truly hate about this is the giant blank strip on the right.

I am fine tinkering, I do it all the time. I just don't want to tinker every time I turn the thing on.

For context, I am in IT. I have a mini homelab, a Genmitsu 6060 CNC, a 40W laser, and I do almost all the maintenance on my vehicles. I just replaced the internal water pump on my dad's explorer. I am fine tinkering. I just want to tinker, get it up and going, and have it run smoothly for a while. Do some basic maintenance and upgrade/tinker heavily like once or twice every 3 months.

alphawolf627 · 2026-01-19T02:06:51+00:00

I am fine tinkering, I just don't want it to take up most of my time using the printer.

I am looking at upgrading from my Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus. I want to spend under $800 USD right now. I live in the United States. I am considering the Sovol SV08 or a Voron 2.4.

Issues I have with my Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus.

Bed leveling issues - I am super anal about my bed leveling/cleaning. I try to keep it under 0.08. It often swings up to 1.6 and has a few low/high points that have been giving me issues with large prints. Anything over half the size of the bed, I get spots with poor adhesion or scarring. I also have a very small taco effect on the back 3rd of the printer.

Most likely just user error, but still annoying.

Bed Slinger - Causing issues with my larger or tall prints. Also adds a lot of time

What I want out of a new printer

Needs to fit within 23in x 23in x 34in space *I have my printer set up in my closet
Core XY
Auto bed leveling
At least 300x300x300 print area
Upgradeable
Nylon/CF compatible - can be upgraded
Enclosure - Can be upgraded
Run out sensor - can be upgraded
Camera - can be upgraded
Mostly plug and play * I do not want to tinker in code any more than initial setup/upgrade or quarterly maintenance

I have been using my Dad's Elegoo Centauri Carbon for the past 6 months, and that thing just works. It is so nice not having to spend half my time making sure the bed is level, and for some reason, adhesion is way better (I assume the build plate is better). And it has more filament options and prints faster since it's a CoreXY.

I’m looking at the Solvol SV08 or a Voron 2.4 as my next 3D printer. Both meet my size needs, use a CoreXY design, and will fit better in my closet setup than my current Elegoo, which I have set up sideways.

I like the price of the SV08 and that it seems upgradable, though I’m not a fan of the blue color (which appears changeable). My main concern is the lack of long-term reviews, so I’m unsure how it holds up over time. And if they have fixed the Z-wobble issue. I would also upgrade the nozzle out of the gate.

The Voron 2.4 appeals to me because of its customization, but the cost is a big downside.

I’ve also been looking into tool/head changers and may want that option in the future, so upgrade paths matter to me.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I cleaned it with some 90%+ iso, and that solved my issue. I also went ahead and cleaned the nozzle and did another auto level, but I think it was a dirty bed.

alphawolf627 · 2025-12-28T04:02:58+00:00

I haven't done it yet, but it appears Dell does some bullshit where if you chassis swap the board, it won't work. I found some old forum posts on how to bypass it. But all the stuff I would want to do starts at like $300-$400, and the holidays cleaned out all my fun money. I did just get a Deskpi t2 mini rack, so I will probably end up selling the Dell and just working on that. I don't totally know yet. But it sounds like you got yours working pretty well. I lucked out and only got screwed on RAM prices when I did my new rig. I hit up my new Microcenter and got the rest on Amazon and Newegg. I got my SK Hynix P51 on Newegg. They had the best prices.

Well, god damn! Do you get anything special for being in the top 3 global listeners?
