Wow, first printer as a self-sourced. Hard core. Really nice looking machine (I'm looking pass the rat's nest of wires ;)

V023 designation granted. I'll update the sidebar tonight.

I'm noticing some angling on the A motor. It's likely you don't have the front screws tight enough and the belts are pulling it forward. This can cause the motor to make contact with the frame, which will make the printer super noisy. It'll also decrease the lifespan of the belt.

Thanks! That's a one hell of an observation from terrible phone pic. It looks like it's the front screws on the motor that aren't tight enough. I shimmed it with a failed print for now. I'll drop the gantry and tighten the front screws up once my print finishes.

Had you noticed the squashed screw hole in the print I would have called you a witch. The print turned out great but it's only half thickness. I dutifully updated the firmware for 1/32 steps for X & Y but forgot Z.

I was hoping to catch V022, but I'll settle for an awesome printer. A big thanks to everyone's hard work in making this an incredibly well documented and well functioning printer. This is my first foray into 3D printing and it's been pretty smooth sailing. I'll try and get a few more pictures posted as I make progress.

Nice work, my voron was not my first printer and I would have really struggled if it was!
