Purchasing and Ordering Parts
Table of contents
After raiding my spare parts drawer, I turned to the BOM and sourcing guide to acquire anything that was missing or I wanted to add.
The BOM not only contains the recommended parts but also affiliate links. I suggest using these links when purchasing parts in order to help support the project.
Consider lead times when ordering parts and plan the build accordingly.
Motion
I sourced most of this exactly as specified in the BOM from Aliexpress using the affiliate links. My plans include the 2040 extrusion mod and reusing the Z axis lead screw.
I have upgraded NEMA 17 steppers on my Ender that will carry over.
Electronics
I already have a BTT SKR Mini E3 V3 in my Ender 3. I added the extended screen cable to my order as I prefer the basic LCD over a touchscreen. I also picked up some DIN rails off Aliexpress. Originally, I considered using the printed DIN cleats from the Voron 0 repo but decided to go with actual rails. I even grabbed an extra to upgrade the Voron.
I plan to use CANbus with a BTT EBB36 CANbus tool head board. I have one in the Voron 0.2 and enjoyed the process of setting it up along with the simplified wiring.
No wiring information is included in the official docs. I had plenty of 16-22 AWG wire and various connectors (JST, Molex, ferrules, etc.) in my spare parts for any needs.
Hotend
My Ender is already equipped with Voron Stealthburner from my planned Switchwire conversion.
Hardware
Once again, my parts drawer is full of miscellaneous hardware. However, I lacked most of the socket head screws. I elected to go with an unofficial hardware kit to get started. It contained most of the required parts. Anything remaining I either had laying around or sourced locally.
Enclosure
I downloaded the STEP file for information on the enclosure. Once I complete the build, I will revisit enclosing the unit.
