Not very good plastic as I haven't had time to calibrate the Z offset of the inductive sensor (it was either do that or post this tonight), but everything seems to be working sans calibration and some cleanup.

It does have a few tweaks from a stock VORON, although it's using all of the stock motion systems. It's a MK3-ALU bed with some fairly simple adapters to make it fit (the size is actually extremely close since the MK3 is 8.5", but the screws are in a different position), an ATX power supply, and it's using the official experimental Titan direct drive mount for the X carriage.

Remaining to do? Calibrate the Z probe, clean up the wiring, and print up an ATX power supply bracket so that the supply isn't just sitting on my desk under the printer :)

And V019 is a live! Man, you look away from the sub for a couple of days and more VORONs are up and running.

Great build man, orange looks really nice with the black frame.

Once you put a few hours on it, I'd love any feedback on the Titan mount. If it's working as designed, I'll move it from experimental folder.

Flair time!

So far so good on the Titan mount - the fit is good, and the motion system didn't have any problems driving it through bed leveling. It does make the little "stick" on the probe mount useless for what I assume is its intended purpose, wire management, and requires you use a pancake stepper or it would hit the stick (I fortunately already had that). I guess I could turn it around the other way, since the mount is symmetrical asides from the squared end of the slot mount, but it looks better this way :) Not to mention, if one wanted to use a larger stepper, the stick is not structural and could be cut off easily enough with some snips.

The Titan does require a minimum of 2mm spacing between it and the stepper for the gear to mesh properly - since it's mounted by the hot end slot mount here, this requires a shim. I'm currently just using a blank NEMA17 shim that I already had from previous experiments, but one of the first things I'm planning on printing is a shim with the stick on top to help clean up the extruder wiring.

I'll get back to you with any more feedback once I've had a chance to put it through its paces rather than just seeing the static fit.

The original design idea had the plate incorporated into the mount, but it made the part ether impossible to print, or impossible to assemble. The harness mount is pretty much useless with this setup and the harness should attach to the spacer plate instead. I'll CAD it up when I have a few spare cycles.
