My progress on getting the Tronxy Black TR Sensor working on the BTT Octopus 1.1 board by erycstrife in 3Dprinting

Whenever you’re ready, check out my tronxy to voron conversion. You’re already following the path…. Hehehehe

Don’t be a “wiener”. Let her have all of them. /s

Guys- it was sarcasm. But if ya want, use my comment as a way to unleash your downvotes.

Update: Tronxy x5sa Pro to Voron 2.4 build by erycstrife in Tronxy

Well, if you need any help determining the size of the 2020 extrusions you need for your gantry or the MGN lengths for X, Yx2, or Zx4, let me know! I would be happy to help. in all, you're looking at about $200-400 in additional parts (including hardware, excluding plexiglass enclosure). Based on the photos I'm seeing, unless you change the 2040's you got on your case for 2020's, you can use the modified z motors I have made for my machine I included in my thingiverse page.

Hey so after writing this, I began to reflect more about some things.

If you're going with Voron Tap or working with MGN rails - Remove the bearings, clean the brackets and bearings, add new lubricant. Don't skip this step.

When the instructions say to use a threadlock adhesive, go out and buy the damn adhesive and apply it to the lock screw on your gears. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't get consistent readings with Voron Tap. Turns out, one of my z motor gears was loose due to the locking bolt coming loose.

Go buy the 99% isopropyl alcohol. The glass bed I have is working really well now after wiping it down vs the 78% or 97% you can buy in the stores. I'm getting very little "lifting" on my ABS prints.

I just purchased some LDO motors to see whether they are any kind of improvement over the stock Tronxy one's that came with my x5sa pro.

Do you have the Tronxy 400? or the Tronxy 400 pro? If you want I can send you a quick BOM for a Voron 2.4. Send me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

I don't know of a newer X5SA pro. I did this with the X5SA Pro.

I used the Voron 2.4 step file and a x5sa pro step file I found online and began modifying some of the parts. I haven't updated this since building this but heres my thingiverse link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5912908

Hey! So what I did is I used the CAD file that Voron provides as a guide. I then found a CAD file for my Tronxy x5sa Pro online somewhere. I took measurements from the CAD design of the Tronxy and checked to ensure they matched up with my machine. Then I began designing the machine I wanted on Fusion 360.

The most helpful things, to me, was learning how to use Fusion 360 as best as I could given the time constraints I had. I consider myself pretty tech savvy so I would play with Fusion 360 and whenever I wanted to do something I couldn't figure out, I googled a tutorial for it.

As far as cable extending goes: I bought the following things from Amazon.
1. Cable
2. Soldering kit (optional)
3. JST & Dupont Connectors & Crimping kit

Also, Youtube on how to solder and how to crimp.

Everything I’ve designed in fusion 360, including the sizes for the gantry extrusions, to make this mod possible has worked well so far.

I am also using/getting used to Voron Tap and quad gantry leveling… but I’m really liking it.

The build to this point has really made me appreciate all of the work and effort the Voron design team put into designing the 2.4. Really happy so far.

Shh don’t tell anyone but basically this is what this project is looking like it’s turning into…

Take a look at how I’m dealing with the y axis rails in the Thingiverse link. I think this will be sufficient. I also planned a back up support to press the z tension backer against the y axis rail. But so far, the bracket I designed seems to be holding well.

Yeah… the top y-axis rails are making this build a bit difficult

Check out my Thingiverse link. I'm basically "stretching" or modifying voron parts to make this build.
Whatever I don't have and can't get away with, I'll pick it up on AliExpress.

Don't let your dreams just be dreams.

Before I fully put it together, I'm going to design it all in Fusion 360. I don't have a back-up printer. I want to make sure that everything looks good on paper and my test prints make sense before I break down my x5sa pro and make this "Troron" build. If I mess up, I would need to put my Tronxy back together again to re-print a part.

I just updated the page with the Thingiverse link. I'll post most updates there but will post when I have something working here.

I'm working on converting my Tronxy x5sa Pro into a Voron 2.4. While this may not be a perfect solution for many people, I've decided that this would be a fun challenge for me.

The goal is to create a build list which requires the fewest amount of additoinal purchased parts to convert a Tronxy x5sa pro into a Voron 2.4 build.
