I’m looking into getting a new printer, and I’m interested in building my own. I know Voron 2.4 and Trident are the obvious ones to look at. But I can’t help but notice they are both 3+ year old printers. Considering how much the industry has grown in the last few years, it got second guessing if Voron is still the way to go.
How do Voron printers compare to the current state of the art (Prusa CoreOne+, Bambu P2 series, Qidi Plus 4, etc.)? Are there mods that are essential to improving them? Are there other DIY printers I should look at?
Thanks!


that reminds me I never finished mine. more or less standard trident except welded stainless square tube instead of aluminum extrusion. I ran out of argon and never got around to getting more.
with that, two modded ender3, one micron variant, and all of them not running for one reason or another and the reasons all being tied to my low motivation to do anything and lack of energy, I would recommend a branded one but I’m not up to date on if any stand out amongst the competitors.
