Just finished building this beast. It’s a ratrig Vcore 3.1 with a 500x500x500mm build volume and blazing speed.

That’s a beast! Post a video of it in action!
what’s the best way to post videos on lemmy? Know a good hosting site? Also, I’m working through filament pathing issues right now so it’s not going as fast as it could be.
That’s not a printer. That’s furniture. 😃
I bet the cat approves.
That looks fantastic. Any videos while printing?
Wow. I guess you use larger nozzles for something like that? How do you get an extruder to keep up with the flow rate? Also, this is my first post on Lemmy.
On my VC3 500 I use a rapido with a 0.4mm. My default PLA settings are 300mms with 10kmms2 acceleration. I’m not sure about OP but for me the larger build volume lets me kick off a full plate of parts and come back a few hours later. Gets pretty good quality but at that size/weight you do get some ringing on the parts.
Ayy another vc3500 haver. I use a .6mm bondtech CHT volcano, but honestly I’ve been having trouble getting past 30mm^3 per second, which is unfortunate. My main goal with it is actually giant parts, but the mass production thing is pretty cool too.
That has got to impact the room temperature substantially?
it is fortunately fully enclosed, which makes the heating a lot more efficient. It definitely still warms the room up though.
Wow that’s gigantic! And here I thought my 350mm3 printer really filled up the room. No comparison at all! Are you able to get this beast through your doorways?
Only if I remove the spool holder. It’s designed to fit basically exactly through a standard door.
