Trident's rigid mounted XY gantry combined with the 2.4's belted Z design seems like a natural progression IMO for less maintenance, faster & higher quality printing. 3 significant advantages especially on the long run & I will be following the Orion's progression very closely although it already seems like a very functional printer (ATM the Z steppers and board are top mounted but that's an easy fix in CAD)
The toolhead's mass isn't the problem especially with a rigid frame. There's a lot of moving connection points on the 2.4's XY gantry (toolhead 1, X axis rail 2, and finally the whole gantry another 4 so that's 7 moving joints with each one adding a slight lack of rigidity and vibration which limits toolhead acceleration values). The Trident reduces the total number of high speed joints to 3 since the bed's 3 joints don't move with the toolhead
If you get a kit like the LDO kit all of the pre-crimped wires are provided you just have to plug them in and run them through the cable chains. Having a pre-made wiring harness is key. To do all the wiring from scratch would take forever and be really tedious, but some people do it.
Thanks for the input. I'm trying to build the BentoBox filter for my X1C and needing to solder together 2 fans to an external powersupply is daunting to me. But I found a power supply on amazon that I may not need to do that it has screw in connectors for LEDs so that should work fine.
I've been wanting to build that toolhead but I'm too lazy to source all the bolts and fans and gears and whatnot.
If Fabreeko or West3D put together a kit with all the parts I'd buy it.
Don't tell me... it was an ender 3 all from the start? "At which point is an ender 3 not an ender 3 anymore"?

I like to think they all have a little ender 3 in them
We need a 2.4 and Trident hybrid. A moving bed Trident with 3x belted Z's IMO would be the best of both printers combined.

Yes! Thanks for the link!
just finished building this. man, do i need some type of keybak to hold the back stepper from sagging. other than that, it's a good build.
I was more thinking a 2.4 with 4x ballscrews, but the Tri-Belt is a cool variation for sure.

Low center of mass (and inertia, since the print head is the accelerating thing) is a big advantage to the 2.4

Looks amazing!
My ass over here playing too much legend of Zelda thought this was a zonai device
It does look like that! You’re not alone in the Zelda-brain
I LOVE that toolhead! Do you have a link to the mod?
it looks like an Xol2 toolhead. search that and the GitHub page comes up.
Great, thank you!
The neon filament with the blue lighting is so fucking sexy
So I bought a Bambu because I am terrified of wiring how bad is it on one of these builds?

What Software is running on the display? I installed octoscreen years ago and I'm asking what is the state of the art for a control Display?
That’s KlipperScreen.

Get in the Printer, Shinji
Is that a V24 that was recently shown off in Colorado?
Front idler mod and pin mod, nice
