Built a Sibor Voron V0.2 earlier this year (right). Going a bit bigger this time (left).
What do you do with that?

Built a Sibor Voron V0.2 earlier this year (right). Going a bit bigger this time (left).
What do you do with that?
Well, I make lots of things, you can see some of them on my site: nowsci.com
While many prototypes and prints (I’d say 90%) will be done on the V0, there are some larger ones I’m trying out soon.
One will be a slim 19" custom server rack for mini PCs, built out of 2020 alluminum and large 3D printed trays I’m designing. Others will be monitor alignment brackets, parts for campervans, mass printing custom Pegboard mounts, etc.
I’ve also used 3D printing for furniture making, but only for mounts to join metal to wood. I may attempt some other methods for frame stays now.
Sounds interesting! So business-like usage?
I was just wondering because at that size prints take so long that other means of low-quantity production often make more sense. But for making prototypes in business or business-like usage, it totally makes sense.
What type of printer are you making for the left platform? A core xy?
Yup! Sovol has kitted out a Voron 2.4 based 500x500mm printer (SV08 Max), so decided to give it a shot vs building the 350mm 2.4.
After learning how long it takes to heat soak my v2.4-350, I can’t imagine how long that 500x500 plate is going to take!!

Banana for scale? How big is the one on the left

I’m guessing 40cm x40cm based on the measurements on the small plate
