Voron 3D Printer Building Workshop

At the MIX, we host a variety of 3D printers, and one of the most popular large scale printer to MIX users is the Voron 2 series, an open source, enclosed 3D printer which is available in multiple sized printable area with the largest being 350 mm. Known for its versatility, the Voron has produced successful prints no matter the size. One of the unique aspects of building a Voron printer from scratch is that many of the components must be 3D printed themselves.

James Hope, a Senior Makerspace Associate at the MIX and a true 3D printing enthusiast, has used his extensive experience building Voron printers to create a hands-on workshop series. In this series, participants can watch James assemble these printers in real time, from the ground up, gaining invaluable insight into the assembly process, troubleshooting, and fine-tuning.

The workshops offer a rare opportunity to learn directly from an expert, with James guiding participants through the detailed steps of constructing a high-performance 3D printer. This process not only enhances participants’ understanding of 3D printing technology but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration as users can see firsthand the precision and craftsmanship involved in building a Voron printer from scratch.
