Are you torn between the Voron V2.4 and the Trident for your next 3D printing adventure? Both models have their unique advantages, so let’s break down the pros of each to help you decide which one suits your needs best.
Pros of the Voron V2.4:
-
Stationary Bed: The V2.4 features a stationary bed, offering stability by keeping the heavy components down low.
-
Taller Z Axis on All Sizes: With a taller Z axis across all sizes, the V2.4 is perfect for projects that require more vertical space, allowing you to print larger objects with ease.
-
Belted Z: The belted Z system in the V2.4 provides smooth and precise vertical movements, enhancing overall print quality by eliminating artifacts that can occur with imperfect lead screws.
-
4-Point Gantry Leveling: The 4-point gantry leveling system ensures your print toolhead is perfectly aligned with the bed plate improving first-layer adhesion.
-
Lower Center of Mass: The stationary bed design gives the V2.4 a lower center of mass, contributing to overall stability and reducing vibrations during printing.
-
Coolness Factor of the Flying Gantry: Let’s not forget the coolness factor! The flying gantry of the V2.4 not only looks impressive but also adds to the printer’s unique and advanced design.
Pros of the Trident:
-
Easier to Build: The Trident is designed to be more user-friendly and easier to assemble, making it a great choice for those who prefer a straightforward build process. if this is your first Printer build, you should seriously consider the trident.
-
Fixed Gantry: With its fixed gantry, the Trident can theoretically print faster and boasts increased rigidity, which is ideal for high-speed printing and maintaining print accuracy.
-
Triangular (3-Point) Bed Leveling: The 3-point bed leveling system on the Trident simplifies the leveling process and ensures a Quick and leveled first layer.
-
Lower Cost: The Trident comes at a lower cost, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious makers without compromising on quality. Less money spent on the kit means more money left over for mods.
-
Easier to Modify: If you’re into extreme customizations like all-wheel drive setups, the Trident is easier to modify, giving you the flexibility to experiment and innovate.
Both the Voron V2.4 and the Trident have their strengths, so your choice depends on what features matter most to you. Whether you prioritize a taller Z axis and stationary bed or prefer a simpler build and lower cost, you can’t go wrong with either model.
