@snacks @bea14s tbqh i would not invest any more time or money into ender 3 mods unless you’re also the type who insists on running windows XP in the current year

@snacks @bea14s remove the springs and get a precision machined bed with its own AC heater on a solid-state relay, then watch the printer walk through the room from the moving bed’s inertia 🙃

@bea14s @snacks 50 bucks, your nerves and a loooot of time

@bea14s @snacks 48V steppers go brrr

@bea14s @snacks iirc the vzbot has 48V dual drive (that is, in the back AND the front of the printer, for each axis)

@snacks @bea14s don’t remember but the last ratrig i used i couldn’t max out because i only had PLA filament

the hotend cooling on the thing was VERY STRONG though and for a unit that large the resonances looked very very good so i bet it can go very very fast

@bea14s @snacks you can go super fast with styrene-based filaments

@bea14s @snacks i have a less capable (heavily modded, never ever go with the official BOM) voron 2.4 and that comfortably prints ASA at like 40mm³/s. the bottleneck is basically print cooling.

@snacks @bea14s rpi is overpriced crap tho

@snacks @bea14s every single gen has been plagued by power supply instability

@snacks @bea14s i also briefly had an rp2040 toolhead before i got the chinese STM clone for CAN bus. rp2040 does not belong in enclosed chambers even with a cooling fan lol
