Bias Disclosure:
The V-Core 3 was given to me by Rat Rig in exchange for creating the live stream series and review, they provided an affiliate link which gives me a small financial reward for anyone that buys using my voucher code.
BTT and Filafarm paid for sponsorship on my Voron 2.4 build series, with small component contributions from Linneo, onetwo3D and Mechporium but I don’t have affiliate links for any of these companies.
The sponsor of this video, Filamentive is a filament supplier based in the UK that has no affiliate to Rat Rig or Voron. I also don’t have an affiliate link at the time of filming.
The Voron v2.4 and Rat Rig V-Core 3 are two of the most expensive hobby level 3D printers available today. They are both 3D printer kits that you need to build yourself and utilise high quality components to produce some incredible results. In this video i'm going to compare these two printers to find out which is better.

Thank you. Really well done comparison. Shows that both are high quality machines. I agree with your points on safety. RR should have a cover for all mains voltage stuff to keep kids fingers out. I also see the you now need to test out some of the cooling mods for both printers. SuperSniffles Dual 5015 fan mod is very popular on the Rat Rig and allows you to push the PLA speeds a bit faster and sounds like there are some good cooling mods for the Vorons to. Your right Mikkel has done some excellent work on RatOS which makes the printer viable for someone like myself who otherwise could not invest the time to learn the details of Klipper.

For the issue regarding a power off button, use a momentary pushbutton trigger the shutdown event. You can either feed the RPi from a power brick and the rest of the printer from the main PSU using a mechanical relay to control it. Or use a WiFi smart plug to schedule the smart plug power off and shutdown the RPi before the plug shuts off. I added both on mine as I can use the PSU only when required, for lower power consumption and the smart plug when shutting down octoprint or emergency/fire stop

As for safe shutdown, you can implement it yourself by having a push (or sensor) button somewhere on the printer + a relay + a simple led. All could be connected to something like ESP32 or similar microcontroller (always powered on). Initially ESP32 would have a relay in the 'off' state (everything is shutdown). You press the button, ESP32 detects a button press from the shutdown state and sends a signal to the relay to turn on. Also led starts blinking. Everything starts to boot up, etc. Once RPI starts up, there can be a tiny daemon that just sends an impulse every second or so to a GPIO pin that is connected to ESP32. This is how ESP32 could monitor if a RPI is "alive". Once it started to receive those "pings" regularly, it will flip the led to a "permanent on" and it will now monitor for the signal to continue. From now on the system is "up". Once we press the button from the "up" state (potentially a long press to avoid accidents), ESP32 will initiate a shutdown sequence by sending a shutdown signal to RPI on another GPIO, which is then picked up by the same daemon that sends the "pings" and it would initiate the RPI Linux shutdown. Led will start blinking again. Once we stopped receiving "pings" for a while, we now can declare a "shutdown" and turn off the relay. Led becomes permanently off and that's the cycle. There are a couple more things to consider if ESP32 goes bust, we would need a physical bypass switch that would keep the system on regardless on the ESP32 (will effectively just send 5V to the relay control pin). Power off in this case could be done by just removing the plug from the wall socket. That all maybe sounds convoluted, particularly if you didn't invest into playing with ESP32s very much, but it's really quite simple, ESPHome project could do.a majority of work, you would just need a little bit of yaml config. ESPHome effectively simply generates the Arduino application based on the provided config of the supported components (plenty). Additional benefit of such a solution is that ESP32 itself is WiFi-enabled device, so you can do the startup and shutdown remotely.

Well done sir. This actually sets you up quite well for a followup video in 6mo to a year, especially since a lot of the deficits of the Voron are going to be fixed with Stealthburner and will make for an interesting then and now video in the future. One other note, when you look into klicky, one of the best features of it actually solves the endstop issue you were having, it's a auto-z offset script, it will ping the nozzle off the z endstop, pick up the probe, ping the probe off the bed, then ping the probe body off the z endstop, do some fancy math automatically and set a perfect Z offset every time regardless of bed/chamber temps.

When I decided to build a premium printer (2years ago) all the sites for the kits, Voron and Hypercube had a large list of the kit componants out of stock, combining that with the reports of many parts being very poor quality and having to be replaced I decided to go a different route and decided on a completley different build, the Pro 3D V-King 400, although the wreere spreadsheets of parts and suppliers I decided to use the very best parts I could lay my hands on and so sourced them myself, this resulted in an increased build price but I had the benefit of only buying and building once and if I had any problems I could contact the designer Roy anytime, as it happens I did not need to consult Roy as his build video's covered everything in an easily understandable way and so I have a printer that I have not had to repair or upgrade and am 100% confident in, I can load up a file press print and leave it to do its thing and turn out wonderful quality parts!

Hi Adam, thanks for this very extensive and open comaprison :) Just a few comments - I am still watching and adding here as I go through the video: a.) As the maintainer of the RR-printer profiles I disagree with your evaluation on the profiles. The modern research on functional parts has shown, that thicker support lines don't result in stronger parts. The modern approach is: For strong parts, use more hull - more or thicker perimeters, more bottom and top layers. The function of the infill is mostly to ensure the top layers print well. To achieve this, you want lots of lines, not thick lines. It's also the reason why modern infills like adaptive cubic infill were invented. They are dense close to perimeters and get less and less dense toward the center of objects. Another approach: Think of the top layer as a huge bridged layer. The more often you support this huge bridge, the better it will look. Thick lines won't help with that, but many lines will. b.) Regarding the deviation differences: I don't want to argue with the numnbers. I just consider the numbers on both printers as excellent. The gold standard for Z on FDM printers is that repeatability should be better than 0.01mm for perfect results, and both printers meet this standard both hot and cold. Yes, there is a difference - but it's negigible for printing results.
@Vector3DP 2 жыл бұрын
Are you saying that a fairer comparison would be to compare print times for 20% infill on RR to 40% infill on Voron? (or whatever draws the same number of lines
@DetlevRackow 2 жыл бұрын
@@Vector3DP What I say is: All these profiles are templates. You decide if you want strong functional prints or save plastic and time. Going heavy with thick lines and 40% infill serves neither of these purposes. For strong parts, use more and thicker perimeter lines, not thicker infill.

I power my Pi from a dedicated 5VDC power supply and added the GPIO plugin to OctoPrint and a relay board. That will allow you to shut down all power to heater and printer board using the GPIO controlled relay board. I use a 4 channel relay board but really only need 1 or 2 channels, 1 for printer board supply and the second for AC powered bed heater. Just remember the Pi uses 3.3v for GPIO so google how to configure the relay boards for use with the Pi. Just a matter of removing the jumper for vcc and connecting 5v for relay coil power and 3.3v to power the control section.

After about a year of staying out of 3D printing news, I pretty much immediately stumbled over these two beastly beauties about a month ago. By the time I actually have the funds to spare for either of them, we'll probably be on the successor models, but just to air my dreams into the aether: I want an IDEX, and while there are obviously easier (mod and stock) options out there, I've quite fallen in love with the idea of turning a Voron 2.4 into one (with Rapido UHF hotends and Zodiac Pro nozzles). I'll have to wait until the Voron IDEX Project not only matures in general, but also adapts to the 2.x style, though, anyway, as I really don't trust that I'd be able to overcome the challenges from scratch. And my ultimate dream project to end all projects is simply put turning a V-Core 3 into a Jubilee (with two Revos, a Chimera, a Cyclops, and a couple of tools). I haven't even looked into how exactly to best merge the two yet, though, due to the cost. Anyway, I probably ought to get some experience building a core-XY before either of the above. I'm heavily eyeing a Voron 0.1 for this, but I'm waiting for kits to come with an SKR Pico out of the box. (Hotend-wise, part of me wants to go Rapido UHF with Zodiac Pro as well, but it's so tiny, Dragonfly BMO with Zodiac CRB should more than suffice.)

I’m admittedly weak in CoreXY knowledge. I’m printing with a bed slinger, Anet A8Plus, my first printer and over the last 24 months or so have learned quite a bit. I’m an engineer by trade and as such thoroughly enjoyed building / assembling the kit so I’m not intimidated regarding such things. I’ve been studying CoreXY for a bit. I’m leaning towards the Voron for multiple reasons. I have to ask though as I haven’t come across it yet. What is IDEX? Yeah, I’ll be googling it when I click submit on this but, wanted to get your take on it since it sounds like it’s tops on your radar. Thanks.

Finally an apples to apples comparison, nice work Adam! That RatOS shoutout made me blush 😂😍 22:12 what you want is something like the Sonoff Pow R2. Flash it with Tasmota and configure it under a [power] section in Moonraker. You then need a dedicated 5V PSU for the Raspberry Pi. Wire everything except the 5V psu through the Tasmota and the 5V psu straight to the IEC plug. You can wire up a physical switch to trigger it as well if you want to. 26:23 this really surprised me as well. I guess there's yet another reason most of us use the P&F probes at this point (Super Pinda / Vinda / SupCR etc) :D I didn't see you account for thermal drift though, it's not "noise at higher temperature" it's a drift in trigger distance with temperature, thats why it doesn't impact your standard deviation or range. In the case of thermal drift i would expect the BL Touch (and the P&F probes especially) to outperform the ... is it Omron?.. inductive probe on the V2.4. We do still improve the V-Core 3 design in the dev team! The full enclosure was released not too long ago, the idlers have been upgraded, and there are more that i can't talk about at this time :D Rest assured, improvements are happening regularly, and it will continue! Very nice review though! I enjoyed watching it! If i had to complain about something it would be the v1 dragon which might have skewed things a little bit with the stringing, but it is what it is :) I'm gonna end things with a little notice about RatOS. It'll support pretty much any printer and any hardware, it's not limited to Rat Rig machines, so if the Voron team (or other printer devs/companies for that matter) wants their machines supported, reach out to me! Thanks for the kind words Adam! :)

Great detailed explanation between two amazing machines. 1 item specific to Z HOP using those couplers on the RatRig. Do they flex/bounce? You may be able to see the flex within the red material in the couplers around the 56 (ish) minute mark on the RatRig? Based on my experience using this style of coupler, disable/slow down the Z hop.

Screws: Zinc plating does not tell the screw's rating at all, can hide anything inside. Typically 8.8, but can also be 4.9 AKA cheese grade. Black ones on the other hand are high carbon steel which i guess is part of the reason they are black on top of some kind of treatment and should be 12.9 rated. But who knows what you get when buying from China. That being said, i've used many chinese suppliers for M2-M5 screws, nuts and bolts etc. and all have been top quality so far. Biggest issue being that sometimes it's hard to see black size markings worn out, with black contents :)

I don't think the noise is becuase of using idler instead of bearing. On ratrig, the xy motion parts are mount directly on the frame with bunch of bolt. On v2 the the xy motion marts are mount on floating gantry that only mount to the linearrail block with 4 semi-tighten bolts, vibration is somewhat isolation from the motor/idlers to the printer frame.

An additioanl reccomendation if you want a cheap entry to printing ABS and printing quite fast, an ender 3 can be turned into a switchwire, there are voron user mods that do this, and the switchwire design is enclosable and very compact for an enclosed bedslinger. My current ABS printer is a clone prusa mk2 running klipper in an ikea lack enclosure, with and afterBEARner hotend/XZ assembly. Prusa frame is a bit flimsy and prints look bad with an acceleration above 1000mm/s/s, but it's my way in to bootstrapping myself into a voron. I'm just using cheap correx panels on the lack box and it works ok BUT it takes up more space than a 350mm voron for a prusa mk2 or creality ender 3 size bed, at which point if space is at a premium, the voron 2.4 and trident look very very good.

To prevent the z-steppers to go idle, you simply could connect the !EN pin of the stepper drivers to ground instead to the corsponding I/O pin. There is normaly no need for the z-motors to go idle, unless while tinkering (but this should be done while the printer is off anyway). So imho no big deal. I actually did this on an old bedslinger and it worked well.

Having just built a Voron 2.4 I can say that it's much more impressive after building. I have built other extrusion based printers and they do not begin to compare. Only real complaints about the build are the belt clamp location, lack of bolt(s) holding the two front idlers together, belts running too close to Y rails and Z belts running a bit close to extrusion as well. Also seems like the lower Z belt clamp could be better designed but I see why they did it this way in an effort to reduce parts as the Voron has about 10 times as many as say a C-Bot that I have built. Once the gantry was assembled and mounted to the Z though, my machine had zero racking right out of the gate and adjusting the belt tension helps "tune" the belt tension to avoid belt tension induced racking. The two X rails I expected to be an issue were not. This may be because my kit came with genuine hiwin rails and I'd suggest anyone looking at a Voron to skimp wherever except the rails as CoreXYs thrive on rails matching each other.

From my experience the extra hardened "12.9" screws which you see mostly with black coating are superior to the zinc coated ones in terms of strength and especially robustness against stripping the heads. So I can especially recommend them for applications where you move them daily/weekly. They can be 5-10 times more expensive though... How it is with the corrosion resistance I cannot say unfortunately, since I don't work in a damp cellar where 3D printers sometimes get placed.

I think the safe shutdown is maybe more of an issue of how Raspberry Pis are designed. When you shut down a PC with the power button due to the nature of how ATX works, that button is merely sending a signal to the motherboard to do the next step. A single quick push has the board tell Windows to shut down(id imagine on Linux it can issue a halt command to the OS), The long push forces the board to cut power. What would have to be seen is if there is a way to do this on a Pi, Perhaps someone could find a way to make a plugin for Klipper and OctoPrint that watches a specific set of GPIO ports, hook a momentary switch to those and it sends a shutdown command to the program and the circuit is closed. Another idea could be a separate 5v power supply running the Pi only and split off the AC input. Switched main power in runs direct to 5V PSU powering a USB for the Pi, Then you have a leg running to another switch and this switch runs out to the SSR and main PSU for the printer. You could in theory cut this switch terminating power to the main PSU and heated bed circuits while keeping the Pi hot. I would imagine you would need to click reconnect in Klipper on powering up the main system side of things as the main PSU is often what drives the controller board. Finally there is just running clipper on a small factor PC like those book sized ones you often see at POS terminals as I have heard you can run Klipper on Linux and that these little PCs can even drive multiple instances and multiple printers. With this you could power off any printer at any time.
@bluedeath996 2 жыл бұрын
You can put a relay on the main power and run it to a pi pinout then make a pi cron job that looks at another pin where you put a button to detect a high or low and then switch the relay off. You can also create a macro in klipper that can turn everything on again which you can put in your start script. This will require you to put the klipper controller onto the pi too (something you may have done already if you use input shaping)
@fredhamilton1701 2 жыл бұрын
I’m not even sure all that’s worth it. If you’re keeping the Raspi running, it alone (well, also with power supply inefficiency) draws about 5W (I have a Rpi 4). If you keep everything else powered on (but heaters, steppers, and any LED lIghts off), it adds maybe 1-2W. So I’d recommend either having a solution that shuts down the OS and then powers down everything (to get to near 0W), or just leaving the printer on all the time where it will consume 8.6W idle (including C920 webcam).
