You've probably all heard that the 7040 are not the strongest kids on the block, the 9290 are their bigger and stronger siblings that can significantly outperform them. The last months there have been talks about a third option, the WM7575, a 400W 220VAC all metal monster that promises an enormous performance jump, with a static pressure 4x higher than the 9290…

With the huge variety of XY joints with different dimensions (printed, sheet metal, milled, SLM, 6mm, 9mm, normal, flipped, 3 holes, 4 holes) paired with vastly different toolhead designs and switch placements, there's no chance to support toolhead mounted switches officially…

I've been thinking about the Z quite a lot in the last few days and the concepts I'm sketching up are getting closer and closer to what soon can be considered prototype-worthy…

When choosing a toolhead, you also choose a part cooling fan with it. There are multiple possibilities, but it all comes down to the "flow rate vs air speed" argument…

I run some CFD simulations to have a rough idea of how much the diameter of the CPAP tube has an impact on the cooling performance. I tried to model 19mm OD vs 18mm OD tubes, so approximately 18mm ID vs 14mm ID, and I chose the worst case possible, to have an idea of the maximum impact…

If I could only add a single mod to a stock Voron frame I'd do structural side panels, so here they are…

I was organizing my design folders yesterday in Fusion when I randomly opened the V0 Cross CAD and I think there's a potential breakthrough here. As it stands, it seems like I can finally fix the gripes I've had with this particular cross-gantry design for a year now…

I will be testing these 4 different hotend blocks under the same conditions:…

Based on my testing with this printed tool it seems like the 21mm OD 6702 (61702) bearing can bring some meaningful increase in grip at a lower rolling resistance compared to the 623…

Unfortunately, I've only been able to do 12mm AWD testing and it would make more sense to do this in a more belt-bottlenecked scenario. Similarly to CPU gaming performance testing, one should run the tests with the best available GPU and in 1080p with low graphics settings…
