VORON 2.4 - Page 1

Posted: 11/27/2021 6:54:37 PM EDT

Lately I've watching a lot of videos on the VORON 2.4. For some dumb reason I would like to build one myself. I usually like to find a nice indoor project to do during the winter months, so heck, why not? Has anyone here ever built one?

The first thing I would like to do is do the printed parts. If that goes well then I will proceed. If not then that's not a bad stopping point. Maybe I'll learn something along the way. I know all the files for the printed parts are on Github. Is there any way to download them all at once of does it have to be one at a time?

Just download the whole repo...

How do I do that? The only time I see anything that mentions download is on the page for each specific stl file.

You can do a "git clone [repo address]" to get everything.

Github also had a desktop app to do this.
https://desktop.github.com/

Edit: or download the .zip from the releases page

What scul says, or clock the big green button which says "Code".

Thanks.

They sure don't make it easy. If you didn't already know or had someone to ask, you wouldn't know.

It is a culture clash. This is the normal, efficient, and entirely expected way of doing things for an open source project. And since most people who would be getting into Vorons can be relied on to be familiar with that, they do.

Of course inevitably the occasional person shows up who isn't familiar with the cultural norms.....

Is everything on GitHub like that?

what material are you planning on using for the printed parts? ABS or something else?

I'll do them in ABS but I got a lot of other stuff to do before I get to that point. The machine I want to print the parts with needs some fixin' and I need to build an enclosure.

Um...... I'm not rightly sure how to answer that? It's like walking into a range, seeing one of the brass buckets, and asking if all guns are like that.

GitHub is the largest and best known git repository hosting site, but by no means the only one, and many projects do their own hosting.

It is fairly typical for projects to have their own website which then points to the repo for downloads, because the repo is the One True Source for whatever data is available. From rereading your original question it sounds like you might not know of voron's site?

Yes, I know of Voron's website. That's how I ended at GitHub. What I'm saying is, there was absolutely nothing that said "Hey, I have some files to share. Click here if you would like to download them."

Ah, yes.

That would be the big green Code button on github to download the whole repo. Or alternatively the STL link on the voron page for a given printer, which goes to the github release page for that version.

Not knowing what the green Code button did, I still clicked it several times. It did nothing.

i am not 100% if this is the right link

https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-2/tree/Voron2.4

when I click on the green code button, a menu appears and one of the options is to download ZIP
