The motivation came from [his awesome original conversion](https://github.com/walttriano/VoronUsers/tree/master/printer_mods/Triano/Ender_3Pro_Switchwire) that was used as a starting point, however almost everything was re-designed from scratch (in order to follow the Voron guidelines and aesthetics more accurately). Another factor that led to this re-design, was the need to be able to enclose this printer in a, visually, pleasant and, structurally, functional way. The ingenious design of 5x MGN12H Linear Rails - 300mm (dual Y axis rail) from Triano was preserved and the printing volume is ~220x220x220. +This is a full conversion of the popular Ender 3 Pro/V2 to a Voron Switchwire. The motivation came from [Triano](https://github.com/walttriano) and [his awesome original conversion](https://github.com/walttriano/VoronUsers/tree/master/printer_mods/Triano/Ender_3Pro_Switchwire) that served as a starting point, however almost everything was re-designed from scratch (in order to follow the Voron guidelines and aesthetics more accurately).

Also no more “exotic” sizes, everything is according to what VORON is using officially. +- Current conversion’s enclosure is 100% compatible with the new update (except of the deck panels ofc). +- XZ Blocks improved fit for the X v-slots and are also modified to use 30mm BHCS (like the original SW). +- Y Axis, new front idler (in order to achieve a mounting point for the front grill), improved clearance for the rear Y motor mount. All use BHCS screws now. +- Split bed carriage with size and clearance corrections. Made uppon the design recommendation of Steve. Also Y belt clips have a bit more clearance on the upper side, in order to leave some space for spare belt 🙂 +- XZ motors have thinner XZ tensioners to avoid the lower “split” (kudos to Steve for that ALSO). +- We are now using the original SW Spool Holder (for easier installation, due to clearance) +- Front Grills have now the LCD mount of the original SW. They also mount to the extended sides just by M3 screws. +- Rear Grills mount by M5x16 BHCS screws now. Also the inlet has moved to the side (in order to have a straight and easier connection with the PSU), this was also a recommendation by Steve and he was more than kind to share his original .F3D file. Both stock Ender and C14 inlets are compatible. +- Removed material from the grills, in order to save some plastic and cut down print time. +- PSU is now mounted parallel to the side extrusions and RS25 can be mounted in the front of the printer. +- Redesigned mounts for the Board and RPi (no more shelf and moooahr clearance!) + +And last but not least… +-The side extensions. Front and rear side extensions are designed to extend the frame for aesthetical and a few practical reasons (clearance and NO MORE NOTCH). They are sturdy enough but keep in mind that you will not move around the printer by lifting it from there. + +![Home](1.png) +![Home](2.png) ## Info @@ -20,15 +39,15 @@ Various parts _can*_ be recycled from the Ender 3 Pro/V2, most important ones ar ## Files -- Most of the printed part files needed for this conversion, are included in this git (you will only need to get the Afterburner print files from the [official Switchwire git](https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Switchwire/tree/master/STL/Gantry/XZ_Axis/X_Carriage) ). +- Most of the printed part files needed for this conversion, are included in this git (you will only need to get the Stealthburner print files from the [official Switchwire git](https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Stealthburner) ). - CAD files (.f3d and .STEP) are provided, in order to help the building process, but they also serve as a BOM (in case you need to find proper screw lengths etc). - DXF files in order to cut your enclosure panels. -- A printer.cfg as a starting point (based off LDO motors and SKR E3 mini V2 board). +- BOM (Soon...) ## Credits -- Ofc to Triano for his awesome design and all the valuable help, info and support. -- To marcel#0874 for his original idea of the sticky grill endcaps. +- Ofc to Triano for his awesome design. +- To Steve (THE Steve!) for pointing out weak parts, that had to be redesigned, his tips and files and being a helpful person in general. - To sdukan#9213 for his valuable help into troubleshooting the Ender 3 V2 differences, electronics (and in general) - To all of this awesome community of people. - To Voron design team for all the valuable resources and the solid base.
