thanks! oh boy, I don't have the time for finding specific info and models, but

  • PEI sheet
  • metal BMG extruder clone from Aliexpress
  • hotend cooling fan is a 4020 for lower noise
  • shroud is an enlarged stock-like one to accomodate the bigger fan
  • PSU fan is a large 8020 with buck converter to lower RPM, with printed case and grille
  • drawer, handlebar, base fan cover, filament guide, tool holder and toolbox all from Thingiverse
  • my own holder for the Xiaomi phone acting as a screen for Klipper (my first model :)
  • Rpi3 with Klipper in the ugly box on the left (printed wrong orientation, it's bottom up)
  • Capricorn PTFE tube
  • printed springy feet for lower vibrations
  • BLTouch clone by Fysetc
  • yellow springs
  • Creality 4.2.7 silent board as I have somehow managed to fry the default one, plus it's gloriously silent

What's absolutely essential is the dual-gear extruder and the PEI bed. All the other stuff are nice-to-haves.

Wow! Have you ever thought about converting it to direct drive?

[–] stooovie@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I have, but I've reached the point where I can just send stuff to it and it materalizes, without lots of tweaking and tuning, and I intend to keep it that way for a while :) as you probably know, upgrading these printers usually means fucking everything up and gradually rebuilding

Or a remote direct drive, like a Zesty Nimble or a Flex3Drive.

I used to have a Nimble on my old CR-10. It’s got a few quirks but the toolhead becomes very lightweight so it can move faster with less strain on the belts!
