what's up everyone in today's video i'm gonna show you all the parts needed to build a Voron
Afterburner for Ender 3 version two 3d printer you may have the question
why am i going to use Voron afterburner on my Ender 3 printer? what are the benefits?
well it mostly because i don't like my current settings. You can see here i'm using a printed
the direct drive mounting plate for my printer, though it works quite well but looks ugly.
I tried different settings from Thingiverse but none of them working perfectly.
Either they have cooling issue or looks ugly too. As soon as i see videos about Voron after Burner,
a voice came out of my brain: this is gonna be my perfect print head for my Ender 3 version 2.
before jumping into the details, let's have a review on parts and tools you
need to build a Voron afterburner for Ender 3 type printer. Firstly you will
need to print most of the parts of yourself using ABS, and PETG should also work fine.
Then you need a slim step motor that costs around 16 to 20 Australian dollars.
Thirdly you will need all internal parts from a BMG extruder. It costs around
30 Australian dollars. Lastly you will need screws and nuts to screw them together.
I ordered the kit with less than seven Australian dollars. Apart from all your common tools that
come with your printer, you also need a soldering iron to install the hot melt insert nuts.
If you don't have one you may still install it by heating the nuts and press them in
You can find all the links where i ordered these parts in the description of this video. In total
you will need to pay around 50 to 60 Australian dollars for building it.
Let's have a look at the printed parts. I printed all the parts
using abs with my heavily modded Ender 3 version 2. you can see It prints really
very well. I will have another video on how i modded my 3d printer so you can print the same.
The first one you are going to print is the afterburner mounting plate for Ender 3 version 2.
You will need this as an adapter to install afterburner onto the stock hot end mounting plate
The next groups of parts you need to print are afterburner extruder.
There are five parts: 1) the extruder body 2) the latch shuttle
and 3) the latch
then 4) the guidler
install it this way
there's also 5) a connector cover here. You don't have to print it. It's mostly used for
cable management. This is the mounting plate so you mount it onto your Ender 3 hot end plate.
Firstly, you put your extruder
here like so. The third one to print is the blower mount. This is where you mount your blower fan
you take your stock Ender 3 blower and put it in
then you install the cover
The fourth one is hot amount. You need to print this one for mounting your stock hot end
you will need these two using models from thingiverse. If you are using an afterburner
compatible hot end you can print this one from the official afterburner repository.
this (It) is originally designed for end of 5, but you still can use it for Ender 3 version 2,
because both of the printers are coming equipped with a standard
Creality ho tend. You mount your hot end here and install the cover, like so.
Then you install it, you install it onto the plate.
If you have a BL touch like me you, you will need to print a mount for it as well.
again you can find all the links for the models you need to print
from the description of the video. That's all the parts you need to print by yourself.
now i'm waiting for my delivery from Aliexpress.
Once i have the deliveries i will make a video for the full assembly.
Stay safe and see you next one!
