This resource was created to help make the build proccess from a formbot kit much easier, but you will also want to check out the voron docs here.
Start by getting yourself familiarized with the build. You can do this a number of ways. I reccomend to watch build streams and hang around the the voron and formbot discord servers to get a idea of how the machine works. Once you recieve the kit, you should get a head-start by familiarizing yourself with the parts and tools you have and organize them all.
Well lucky for you, I made a list!
The Main Tools:
- Soldering iron
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Paper towels
- Crimping tools
- Grease for the linear rails - Mobilux ep2 is best for our average use case
- Threadlocker (blue/medium strength)
- Some metric allen keys
- PH screwdriver
- Machinests square
- Flat surface for assembling frame
- Flat-head screwdriver
Very Nice Things To Have:
- Digital multimeter
- Spare wire
- Exacto knife
- Gloves for handling grease and ISO
- Tweezers
- Flush cutters
- Spare hardware, wire, and crimps
- Digital calipers
Head over to the 2.4 STLs and download all of the files there if you are printing parts for a 2.4 "pro" kit. The Custom STLs folder are files from outside of the voron github repository and should have everything you need for the 2.4 "pro".
The 250, 300, 350 folders contain the parts needed for each build volume. So make sure to print the relevant ones!
If you run into problems with your build or have quesitons reach out to formbot directly or ask on their discord server here.
For a amazing guide on configuring CAN for the "pro" kits check out this great guide by esoterical.
You can tag me on discord (notnerb.) for general questions in the public channels of their server, but I want to stress the fact that I am in no way getting paid by formbot to compile this resource nor am I the person to ask when it comes to any detail related to your order.
You can reach out to thier support for those questions:
