The build begins & tapping aluminium extrusions
I ordered the wrong size self-tapping screws (M5 instead of M6), so i had to tap the aluminium extrusions manually.
I changed my BOM so nobody else has the problem.
Installing frame & motors + first problem
Today I finally installed the frames and mounted the motors.
Also wanted to mount the A&B idlers but unfortuneately the steel dowels have an diameter of 5mm and the inner diameter of the flanged bearings have an inner diameter of 4,96mm.
Already ordered new dowels with a diameter of 4mm. I updated the BOM acordingly.
Installing Motor Mounts
I installed the motor mounts. The parts for motor B fitted well, but motor A i have to print again (nut traps were too tight).
Assembling the X carriage and mounting it to the Y rails
I assembled the X carriage and was absolutely amazed by this awesome design work. The nozzle probe works like a charm. Kudos russiancatfood!
While installing the “Chimera” hotend clone I found out that one the heatbreak rods is stuck in the heatsink. I guess it will work, but I hope i can get the money back from the Chinese vendor.
Final assembly, first time pushing plastic
Worked yesterday 11 hours on my VORON and got it to push plastic :-)
The cable harness is still a mess, need some more time to clean up and calibrate.
I want to make the cables on my carriage unplugable, but my connectors didnt arrive yet. So i used some “WAGO” clamps.
Dial indicator bed leveling
I created a dial indicator mount to level my bed more exact. Works like a charm…

Finalized the build (or i thought so)
It took some time but iam finished with my VORON build. Just wanted to show the current state of build.
Iam not quite happy with the cable managment. I will probably buy myself a sheet of wood and put it on the backside of the VORON and attach to the sheet all the electrical stuff.
Lets see what the future brings :-)
Final result (still WIP)
I had some time to do my “final” adjustments to my VORON. The black boxes in the back annoyed me, so (as anounced) I replaced it with a sheet of plywood and mounted there my controller stuff.
Additionally I replaced the part cooling fan duct by my own design, now i can use a silent 60mm SUNON axial fan. I published the custom fan duct on thingyverse:
