Voron Trident 300 Build: Part 6
Posted on
A quick update, since I've been having fun building.
I've got the toolhead on, albeit with a waxy, warped fascia. I want to get the thing printing before getting things perfect as my current printer is not as well-enclosed as I'd like it to be and has issues with bed adhesion.
Don't do this. This was an attempt to get the enclosure up to temperature faster. It definitely worked, but at the expense of the supports I'd printed for the Ender in PLA.
The electronics bay work has begun. Most components are mounted and I'll soon begin wiring.
In other news, I've successfully got NixOS onto the Raspberry Pi 4 by cross-compiling the system closure I wanted. This was far easier than my previous experiences with a Beaglebone Black. It just worked. I think the 3D printing community, and especially build farms, could really benefit from some Nix love to make imaging SBCs and configuring printers more reproducible. I may well start a project in that space at some point.
