Voron 2.4

Voron 2.4 is a CoreXY 3D printer released in May 2020 by Voron Design. It has open-source software and hardware, and requires building by the user based on parts sourced individually or in kits from third-party vendors. The printer has been described as a resurgence of the RepRap culture.

History
The Voron project was started by Russian Maks Zolin (pseudonym russiancatfood, RCF) who wanted a better, faster, and quieter 3D printer. He built a printer and started the company MZ-Bot based on open source ideology. In 2015, the Voron Geared Extruder was released as the first design to use the Voron name. In 2015, Zolin sold the first 18 printers as kits (Voron 1.0, later renamed Voron Trident, and quite similar to the later Voron Legacy), and marked them with serial numbers. In March 2016, the first Voron printer was publicly released The V24 was an experimental model with a build volume of 24×24×24" (610×610×610 mm). Only two were built, laying the foundation for the later Voron2. == Design ==
Design
The Voron 2.4 is available as standard in the 250, 300 and 350 versions, which have build volumes of 250×250×250 mm (~15 L), 300×300×300 mm (~27 L) and 350×350×350 mm (~42 L), respectively. It features a closed build chamber, which provides stable temperatures that are favorable for certain types of 3D printing filament, reduces noise, and allows for controlled exhaust emissions (HEPA filter extensions are available). The CoreXY design results in less moving mass, allowing for higher accelerations and speeds. The belt is based on the CoreXY pattern, but with the belts stacked on top of each other and without the crossover found in some other CoreXY designs, which allows for favorable motor placement. In other words, the 2.4 model has a stationary print plate and separate belts for moving the print head along the z-axis, while most other CoreXY printers on the other hand have a fixed gantry and a print plate that moves vertically with lead screws. A stationary print plate gives the possibility to use a heavier print plate (for example of thick steel instead of thin aluminium) that warps less when heated. It also gives a more space efficient frame, and makes it easier to calibrate the print to be parallel with the build plate (less need for bed mesh trimming). A disadvantage is that the z-axis may sag when the printer is not in use, but it shall straighten itself again when the printer is turned on. All movement control is done with Klipper software on a Raspberry Pi, which provides great flexibility and extensibility through various parameters that can be programmed in a configuration file. The printer has the option of automatic calibration to compensate for unevenness in the build plate. Input shaping was introduced in 3D printers by Klipper in 2020, and is a standard feature on Voron. == Construction and operation ==
Construction and operation
The Voron 2.4 can be used for both hobby and professional small-scale production and prototyping. If using high-quality components and taking care to assemble them properly, one can achieve high speed, precision and reliability. Construction of the printer is time-consuming. Examples of things to pay attention to during construction are that the frame is square, using threadlock on screws and proper torque, using precise 3D printed parts, and connecting all the electrical components correctly. == See also ==
