Thanks a ton for these videos, I just got my V0 kit and waiting to finish printing parts before I finally install so I'm binging your videos in the meantime to get a feel for what I've got in store. Very detailed, nice tips, thanks! Man I am not looking forward to the Idler assembly lol
Thank you very much. Take your time and plan ahead for future mods since 1515 extrusion uses regular nuts. If you think you will attach an add on anywhere, look into how many are needed to mount the device and install the nuts now. Otherwise disassembly will be a future result. I wish you a fantastic build!
Great to watch the assembly with your commentary! I've used a tip from one of your videos for preloading nuts - when you used a soft tubing to hold the wires for led panes inside the 2020 extrusion. Similarly I placed the pieces of tubing inside the slot at the edges of the extrusions so the preloaded nuts won't fall out. And after the whole frame is assembled they could be picked out with tweezers.
a small clamp or fixture would be a great help and keep everything stable while you assemble the parts. i’m learning from your suffering to assemble all the things i need to make my builds easier lol. keep the videos coming!!!
Hey man, great to see this video! I’m wildly intrigued by siboor’s cnc’d functional parts but can’t find any substantive reviews on them. I’m building a 2.4 print farm and it seems CNC functional parts could add greatly increased reliability while potentially reducing maintenance…depending on the quality of the CNC. What do you think, I know it hasn’t been long, but have you seen anything with the CNC you go that might give you pause on 2.4’s?
I've had no problems with the CNC parts. And as long as you are comfortable with the idea that you might change some of those parts out for future printer improvements with 3d printed ABS parts., I think it's fine. I still have not gotten around to trying to test the upper limits of the printer, so it's not clear what the upper limits are for print speed for me. But so far, it's been good.
Excellent thank you. And again, great video! I’ve watched a bunch and this one is the only one that actually showed how the belts are trimmed which gave me the courage to finally trim mine…thank you and well done. Keep up the great work, it’s greatly appreciated.
@@dtdionne The 1st time I did it for my Voron 2.4, I stressed over it until I got the courage to cut them. I'm sure there are other ways that can be more efficient with left over belt, but the recommendation is for the 2 belts to be the same size. So this works. Also, being able to count the number of belt teeth on each end as they are placed on the gantry also helps make sure each belt is the same size.
Speaking of the 2.4, VoronKits has a conveyer belt bed that would help with my current project. Do you have any experience with conveyer belt beds that you’d be willing to share?
@@dtdionne , I have no experience with conveyer belts. But if I had a commercial printing operation, I would probably look into one. It would be interesting to combine the speed of these printers with a belt...
I’ve found that when the gates app is providing inconsistent readings, the belt isn’t tight enough for an accurate reading. That said, if you look in printable, there are belt tension meters that you can print which might be a good option. I assume you don’t want to purchase an actual belt tension tool…
@@emmanuelvelasco2665 I'm not quite ready to announce anything as I want to make sure those changes address any areas that I think could use improvement. The v0.2 is a really good design, so I need a little experience with it 1st.
They look like F623 bearing stacks on m3 threadded shafts. Would make a nice upgrade if they were shoulder bolts or smooth shanked. Metal parts really do give these printers a premium look feel and build quality.
As I'm building this, I keep thinking pins would be really nice. That said, on my 2.4, replacing bolts with pins did not make a noticeable difference. I agree. The CNC parts look nice! Thanks!

Almost embarrassed that I did not think of that! Great idea. I will do that on my next printer. Thank you very much for posting that tip!

Please post any tips you've got. It should help others that follow. Thanks!

The gates app didn't seem to work correctly for me, maybe to much lint in the phone microphone
Is there any other way to measure the tension?

great series! do you plan to install canbus on the 0.2, too?
Thank you! Most likely later. After I have this running well. That said, I do have plans to modify this soon. But 1st, I want this to work well as-is.
@@KapmansBasementWorkshopwhat kind of mods are you thinking of? I’m looking into this kit, btw great videos!
