Thinking on building a Siboor kit. Are the CNC parts worth it? and some thoughts...
I've spent some time researching my next printer. Things I know:
- I want to know/understand every internal thing of it, so a kit is required.
- It should be corexy because is the most robust design as of today. I still love bed slingers, they are elegant in their design, and there are a few that are fast but they limit you to a few filament types.
- It must run klipper. I think this is a must for a good ratio of speed, quality and customization, and also I'm a Linux user, so.... This requirement discarded printers like Prusas with their custom Marlin.
- It should allow for easy maintenance. The Vorons are pretty "open" (frame), the reverse electronics mod for the Trident is amazing. I'm also loving the 2.4 more "clean" design where everything stays in the low side and the top is pretty clear.
- It must be aestetic, because it will be staying at my little flat with white walls. Printers that are obscure boxes are totally discarded (this means 90% of printers actually). It's sad that companies don't explore this niche a bit more. They think their printers will be installed in the basement or a print farm, I don't know. Voron's structure are some profiles, that can have any color you want and clear sides.
So the question about the CNC parts is that while they are very durable and rigid, I suppose they can't be modified anymore, and if one of those parts, somehow, break, I'm done.
I understand that printed parts are more fragile but allow for unlimited repairs and customizations.
Are they worth it then?
This is more or less the setup I'm looking for (generated with AI), even though I don't know where to get the white profiles:
