About the Voron Trident
The Trident is not a product you buy off the shelf. Voron Design publishes open-source plans, you source the parts, print the plastic components on another machine and assemble it yourself, following the Voron documentation. The recommended sizes are 250 × 250 × 250, 300 × 300 × 250 and 350 × 350 × 250 mm.
The Trident moves the bed on three Z stepper motors with integrated lead screws, so the firmware can level the bed automatically. Voron describes it as simpler to build than the Voron 2.4, which uses a flying gantry.
It runs Klipper, which gives you input shaping, pressure advance and bed mesh compensation. The enclosure keeps the chamber warm for ABS, ASA, carbon fibre nylon and polycarbonate, and a hardened nozzle handles carbon fibre filaments. Maximum nozzle and bed temperatures depend on the hotend and heater you choose.
The build takes real time and skill: plan for several weekends and expect to troubleshoot wiring, firmware and mechanical alignment. The Voron community on Discord and Reddit is active and helpful. For makers who want a machine they can repair, modify and fully understand, the end result is very satisfying.
