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!

    I spent a year trying to get my Prusa factory assembled mk4s to print properly. Prusa support even eventually sent me a full replacement printer that had the EXACT same problem out of the box.

    I returned it, bought an LDO Voron kit for a 2.4 350mm and haven’t looked back.

    The kit had pre made harnesses, which was 100% the right move for me.

    (Incidentally, the drawers for my desk I was trying to print on the Prusa originally are now printed and finished on the Voron, and working great…)
