yeah, just saw the same. Pretty good deal here.

Second 2.4 300mm serial request vid. Switchwire is done and up and running, just need to request serial. Trident 350mm frame put together just awaiting other parts. All rigs printing parts for a company and paying themselves off at this point. Really happy with how this build turned out color...

I would definitely go through the teachingtech calibration site linked earlier. Retraction needs to be tuned for sure and most likely e-steps. PID tune the hotend, temp tower to find your best temp to print at for a given filament. All the things...

Appreciate the reminder, need to stock up on some more 6mm belt lol.

I agree with all the advice here. This isn't a hobby without tinkering regardless of the cost of the machine. There will be issues, you will have to mess with it. MK3 would be where I would start if I was just getting in to this hobby. And I'm with jmilcher on the tinkering as well. May not...

That's my hope here as well. This conversion is actually dual rails on the Y so I'm excited to see what it can do when done. Edit: Orignial SW is a single MGN12 rail I believe.

No need to start a new thread, but the Ender V2 / Switchwire conversion has been going well! Almost done really, just waiting on my wirie harness and some clockwork 2 parts. Well put together conversion if anyone is interested. https://github.com/boubounokefalos/Ender_SW

This site is pure gold for fine tuning your printer. Use it all the time. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html Edit: A word

I think I was all in at about $1900 for my 2.4. 300mm build.

Not a fan of the looks, at all. To each their own though.

ABS can be a pain. I went through about a full spool trying to tune it right the first time on my Ender. Enclosure is a must I feel as draft shields are hit and miss, plus a waste of filament IMO if you just get an enclosure (or make one). I print exclusively ABS at this point with heated bed...

Nice! V0 or MIcron may be next, just cause lol

300 build yes. Not second hand at all, just built it. There are kits out there at this point but you never know exactly what you are going to get so the community still recommends sourcing your own parts. The BOM is quite lengthy, every little t-nut and bolt soured. Cost me some extra sure...

After months of sourcing parts, spent the last couple weeks putting a Voron 2.4 together. Going through initial tuning now but what a beast. The engineering that whent in to this thing is top notch, super happy with how it turned out so far.

That must have been it, installed first time this morning lol. Thanks!
