Very helpful video as I wait for my Formbot Trident R1 Pro kit to arrive. Looking forward to the CAN with the other upgrades included in the new Pro kit.
I'm glad you liked the video, I wanted to do something that's different from the live-stream builds that are more common in the community. I've been meaning to upgrade to CAN for a while now, I am hoping to make an update video with a couple upgrades I am working on. Figure its probably for the best to get them all done at once.
Nice video. I’ve just finished a LDO trident 30x30x30 kit. Loved the build and learning all about the vorons and klipper. You have chosen a nice colour scheme as well. You going to do a part 2 video once it’s all enclosed and tripped out lol. Good work.
Thank you, and yes I have a couple videos that I am working on that go over the build once everything is enclosed. Not to mention I want to post the Voron serial request video soon. I really enjoyed the build, was a little difficult to record but it was well worth it.
Thank you! Thats the reason I’ve made these videos. I have 2 more (soon to be a third) videos that kind of go over tips before the build. Hope those help too.
45:44 .. here I have 3 little holes in that end-chain-part. But you just use one m3 screw into the middle-hole I guess to fix it on the alu-extrusion, right? thx.
Nice build. Usually white printed parts is not recommend since it seems to be weaker due to how the color is achieved. Also you'll want to swap the cable chain ends so it doesn't bow upwards at the toolhead.
Thank you! I've been having issues with the cable chain on the tool head, it arches too much, thinking of going umbilical with can-bus. The base color is not white, its ABS-natural, on the video it looks white but in person, it has this bone-like color that I honestly love.
@@MakerMilo yeah if you switch the ends of the cable chain you’ll notice that one side will stop while the other side rotates freely. Canbus is a solid upgrade and I would recommend it.
@@JKtech3D Thank you, I will actually do that very soon, it bothers me that it arches up. My friend built his at the same time I did and his chain didn’t arch up like mine. Thanks again for the info 😁
I got to be honest... I used a normal pi for this, so I am not familiar as to what the setup looks like for the BTT pi. If its anything like the normal one though you need to create an image of mainsail and put it in the sd card you'll use. If you got that that far then I can help you with the config stuff as it should be pretty much the same from there on.
Hey man, fantastic video! Thanks for sharing it with us! I have a trident 250 formbot kit ready to start, but gotta print the parts first :) were your main parts printed in sintered nylon? Looks good and strong! Be sure to show us the complete printer and future mods!
Hey and thank you. My main parts are ABS natural (Matter Hackers build series), I have to thank my PIF provider he went the extra mile and printed all my parts in ABS natural, not to mention the quality is out of this world. ABS natural has become my favorite filament to print functional parts in as it is a joy to work with and is incredibly durable. BTW this was a formbot kit with the exception of the frame. I love it and going forward all my kits will be formbot as it’s hard to beat their quality and price. Serial Request video is coming soon. It will show the printer with all the bells and whistles 😁
@MakerMilo I thought it was a formbot kit! The octopus board kinda had me guessing :) definitely keep us all posted bud! Any mods you are looking at adding?
@@TimothyScotts1 So This was recorded over a month ago. Since then I have added Nevermore, chainber thermistor, case lights, angry cam, and a scrubbing brush + bucket. I am working on a new one because the trident doesn't have much space for one (when running tap). I am looking into auxilliary cooling and Can module since my build is kind of heavy on the cables. I am also working on a separate reserculation mod to hopefully make chamber temps more consistent but I want to see if that's necessary once I add the auxilliary cooling. C-pap seems to be the new trend but I really like the bamboo lab approach. So yeah Plenty of stuff coming if school allows me to work on it 😅.
@@TimothyScotts1 I ended up going with an angled scrubber… I’ll link it in the next video. It’s not perfect but in my opinion a scrubber is not optional but necessary for any printer; specially a voron running tap where the nozzle is your probe. I am working on a better design that takes advantage of the trident’s z movement. We will see, got a lot of stuff on my backlog at the moment 🤭
It was my first 3D build so it definitely took a little longer the forecasted 40hrs. I was recording so that adds time but in all honesty it was really pleasant so I cannot wait to do another build.
Naw, you can't have too many Vorons LOL. I have a black frame from the kit that I didn't end up using, planning on updating my CR10 to a trident or a VZbot... Not sure yet
@@erik3205 Nice! I am still in between making my CR-10 into a switchwire or just turning it into a more modded version of the trident. If I go with the trident Idea I will likely make it a speed machine since my trident is already pretty reliable all things considered. If I go with the switchwire it will likely be a PLA only machine, not sure about that though since I do like the versatility of an enclosed printer and speed is fun.
I bought my kit from Formbot but I did some changes. I bought the frame from LDO since I really wanted a red frame, I used a revo voron hotend, and instead of the Omron bed probe I went with tap. The formbot kit is really good though, I’d say nearly unbeatable at its price point.
www.formbot3d.com/products/voron-trident-corexy-3d-printer-kit-with-premade-wiring-harness?VariantsId=10523 They are having a huge Halloween sale. The printer is currently 100$ cheaper than what I paid for it. Hope this helps 😁
Relaxing build! Wondering if there's any chance having any collab together? We'd love to supply prototype services covering PCBs, 3D printing, CNC etc. (PCBWay zoey)
Yes, and yes. I honestly just use the gloves for the aesthetics and nothing else. In fact they make things way more difficult then they need to be. But I like the way they look in the videos.
I only kept the one try that worked in the video (I was at it for way longer than I care to admit). Even with the manual + videos it was difficult to get the part to cooperate.
A really nice calm approach to 3d printing content, love it, subbed.
Thank you!
Love the colour contrasts, expertly built and great editing!

Love this Red frame with White parts combo!
Thank you... I am really happy with how it turned out.

Heck yeah, thank you!
😁@@mrbutchee1
when I first saw kits for the red frame, i thought it would be hideous, but this white and red scheme looks dope
White and red is my go to color combo. Black and red also looks good but I think its done too much. But thank you 😁
45:44 .. here I have 3 little holes in that end-chain-part. But you just use one m3 screw into the middle-hole I guess to fix it on the alu-extrusion, right? thx.
Yes that's correct... It uses an M3 Spring-nut and that section is just held with one M3 bolt.
@@MakerMilo thx!
Great Video, i love the way you put it together.
Thank you 😊

Super clean trident bro.... My only suggestion, change up the tunes a little bit lol
Got it, thanks for the feedback
excellent video! You make it look too easy to be true :)
Thank you! But no I struggled quite a bit still though, 100% would build another.
Good video bro.
Thank you
6:30 so far beautiful useful video ;)
I’m very happy to know you enjoyed it 😊. Got more coming soon hopefully they have the same reception as this one 😁.
Hey i cant get my btt pi working any tips on how to get it started

I have a discord server up for the channel its not quite done yet but its functional, I can give it to you so that we can talk on there.

I did a 350 trident kit, took similar time
It was my first 3D build so it definitely took a little longer the forecasted 40hrs. I was recording so that adds time but in all honesty it was really pleasant so I cannot wait to do another build.
Nice, I kind of want one with colors other than black extrusions, but I keep thinking would a 3rd Voron be to many. This is my kind of music also.
Naw, you can't have too many Vorons LOL. I have a black frame from the kit that I didn't end up using, planning on updating my CR10 to a trident or a VZbot... Not sure yet
@@MakerMilo I’m getting a 3rd, it’s between converting my Aquila x2 into a switch wire or building another 2.4

Все отлично, но чувак, купи себе набор шестигранных отверток. Больно смотреть как крутишь винты этой кочергой
You have to go back and screw the lock for the belts on the TAP. That's Not secured in place.
Yes I figured that out the hard way when I was doing my belt tension tuning. Got it sorted out after some minor procrastination 😅
Why gloves? They make your hands sweaty and are impractical for this purpose.
Yes, and yes. I honestly just use the gloves for the aesthetics and nothing else. In fact they make things way more difficult then they need to be. But I like the way they look in the videos.
07:34 Took me almost 20 tries to suceed on that step.
I only kept the one try that worked in the video (I was at it for way longer than I care to admit). Even with the manual + videos it was difficult to get the part to cooperate.
