Are you unsure about whether to select the Voron V2.4 or the Trident for your next 3D printing project? Each model has distinct advantages that can cater to your specific needs. Let’s explore the benefits of both to help you make an informed decision.
Advantages of the Voron V2.4:
-
Stationary Bed: The V2.4 features a stationary bed that enhances stability by keeping heavy components low.
-
Increased Z Axis Height: With a taller Z axis available in all sizes, the V2.4 is ideal for larger projects, allowing for the printing of bigger objects with ease. (compare to traditional trident limited at ~<250mm where 2.4 scales up to <350mm on Voron 350, although LDO Trident 300 Cube provide extra <45-50mm extra Z height with taller size)
-
Belted Z System: The belted Z mechanism ensures smooth and precise vertical movements, improving overall print quality by reducing the risk of artifacts common with regular lead screws.
-
4-Point Gantry Levelling: This system guarantees that your print head is perfectly aligned with the bed, resulting in improved first-layer adhesion.
-
Lower Centre of Mass: The design's stationary bed contributes to a lower centre of mass, enhancing stability and minimising vibrations during printing.
-
Innovative Flying Gantry: The V2.4's flying gantry not only adds an impressive aesthetic but also enhances its unique and sophisticated design.
Advantages of the Trident:
-
User-Friendly Assembly: The Trident is designed for easier assembly, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a simpler build process. If this is your first 3D printer, the Trident is worth considering. (paired that with inverted electronics for easy wiring and electronics management, no additional hardware just different printed parts)
-
Fixed Gantry: Its fixed gantry can potentially enable faster printing while increasing rigidity, making it ideal for high-speed, precise prints.
-
Triangular (3-Point) Bed Levelling: This system simplifies the levelling process, ensuring a quick and well-leveled first layer.
-
Lower Price Point: The Trident is more budget-friendly, allowing you to save money without sacrificing quality, leaving room for upgrades.
-
Customisability: For those interested in extreme customisations like all-wheel drive setups, the Trident offers greater ease of modification, allowing for experimentation and innovation.
Both the Voron V2.4 and the Trident offer unique strengths, so your decision should reflect the features that are most important to you. Whether you favour a taller Z axis and a stable bed or a straightforward build and cost-effectiveness, either model can be a great choice, with both well supported by many community modifications and even with upcoming BondTech Indx.
