So I finally got an opurtunity to get a 3D printer, and i want to buy a Voron. I found a V2.4 with 350mm build volume for 770€. Is it worth it? How reliable is a Voron? Have any of you got any experience? All input welcome.

(Edit) I forgot to clarify, the printer is new, not second-hand.

I love mine. Always fire and forget printing. My 2.4 has a chaotic lab tap, never any issues.

Printing with abs, petg and pla never fails. Quite a learning curve, but well worth it.

If you are not afraid to take it apart an reassemble, go for it.

Does the 2.4 have auto z calibration? That is what really makes a "set and forget" machine when you switch nozzle sizes and such and it with auto adjust.

With my prusa MK3, I calibrate the z offset every time I switch filaments and recalibrate every time I switch nozzles which takes a lot of active time.

Mine does.

Probably most of the builds do. But you got to keep in mind, every Voron is unique. It is not a 100-a-day from the factory kind of product.

Well, I'm quite happy to build and rebuild it, but wdym by learning curve?

Getting to know all the minor tweaks, the ins and outs of your device.

Every Voron is unique, so digging up a yt to solve your issue is not going to help much.

Ah, reasonable enough.
