Hotend and electronics
So again jumping ahead a bit, I have the hotend mounted and also the belts are all in place.
What I didn’t know at this point, but still want to mention it here: The included no-name fan can’t tame the powerful hotend and it comes to heat creep with PLA and with longer prints also with PETG.
So the filament melts too early and the hotend gets clogged. Very annoying, if you have already installed and wired everything. So better replace directly against a stronger model, I chose a Sunon MF40102VX-1Q03C-A99 and could solve the problem immediately.
My kit came with a Spider V2.2 motherboard from Fysetc, but there are also other usable boards. However, you usually don’t go wrong with the Spider, even the official manual uses it as an example.
A handy feature of the Spider board is that you can power the Raspberry Pi directly via some pins in the middle and the matching included cable. So you could save the extra 5V power supply if you don’t want to use it for any other mods. I have it installed with me once, but will remove it again in the future.
Again something further and again a thing, with which I could have saved me work. As you can see I had parts of the electronics already installed when I came across the Inverted Electronics Mod was brought to my attention. This allows access to the electrics without having to tip the printer over. With the size and the weight a very tempting solution. So I printed new mounts for the Z-motors and the other parts and rebuilt it. If you plan it directly like this, you can save time and filament again.
Instead of the inductive probe I also use the Klicky-Mod from Githuball necessary parts are included in the kit. A small switch is magnetically attached and improves the scanning of the print bed at high temperatures. The housing of the inductive sensor tends to melt.
Then it’s “finally” time to install, wire and connect. For some this is the best part, for most it is the most annoying. Fysetc supplies three optional cable hoses so that the cables can be laid a bit nicer in the visible places.
They are not meant to be used in the cable loops!
Quite a while later, I had everything wired up for now. Many connection cables are fortunately already labeled, here and there I still helped with my label machine. And it’s 2023, so some cables identify themselves with a different color than they are.
And then it was finally in front of me: My functionally finished Voron Trident! The panels are still missing, but they are not needed for the first test prints. Without them, it’s still easier to get to everything.
By the way, I did not use the normal holder for the filament rolls, but one with One with 608 ball bearings. The easier unrolling relieves the extruder motor and I didn’t have the ball bearings left anyway.
