Apologies for creating this as an issue. Not really a better way to share it.
I'm in the process (nearly done) on rebuilding my AM8 into one of these.
Some changes/feedback I have are:
Using Stealthburner and a BLTouch for Z homing. I had a hard time figuring this out, but the mount is essentially a Voron Legacy mount. You could use either the stock Voron Legacy mount (from the voron repo) or this one, which includes the BLTouch mounting option - https://www.printables.com/model/458163-voron-legacy-carriage-mount-with-integrated-bltouc Also, FYI, the original mount is an afterburner mount, which isn't 100% compatible with stealthburner, but the stealthburner mount is backward compatible.
Using a toolhead CAN board, because I had one "laying around". This helps clean up the look I think, but I wanted to still use limit switches as I'm not a huge fan of sensorless homing. This presents two issues... 1. I'd like to delete the switch mount for the XZ Joint left, and make it look the same as the XZ joint right. 2. Need to locate a place on the toolhead to mount an X Limit switch. Seems like maybe the belt clamp could be a good candidate, but haven't fully figured it out yet.
I printed/used these stiffening parts, similar to the original AM8, to make the printer more solid. Issue is, I need to design some kind of foot now. My original build used some rubber feet screwed into the corners of those, which is what I'm still doing currently. Could either leave it or go with something to raise it up a bit more. I haven't installed the screen, so when I do I might feel I need to, to support the screen. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3128300
I'm looking for a jacking screw method of tightening the belts, vs the "pull and tighten" design they are currently. I recently built an Enderwire and it was nice to have jacking screws to tighten it more accurately.
I'd like to have some deck panels to keep things from falling onto the electronics. Going to look into designing something once I get the machine fully assembled.
Overall though, thanks very much for putting this together. Everything was straightforward to print and it's looking really nice. I'll take osm epictures once I'm done.
