INTRODUCTION
Before you begin on your journey, a word of caution.
In the comfort of your own home you are about to assemble a robot. This
machine can maim, burn, and electrocute you if you are not careful. Please
do not become the rst VORON fatality. There is no special Reddit air for that.
Please, read the entire manual before you start assembly. As you begin wrenching,
please check our Discord channels for any tips and questions that may halt your progress.
Most of all, good luck!
THE VORON TEAM

INTRODUCTION
PART PRINTING GUIDELINES
The Voron Team has provided the following print guidelines for you to follow in order to have the best chance at
success with your parts. There are often questions about substituting materials or changing printing standards, but
we recommend you follow these.
3D PRINTING PROCESS
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
MATERIAL
ABS
LAYER HEIGHT
Recommended: 0.2mm
EXTRUSION WIDTH
Recommended: Forced 0.4mm
INFILL TYPE
Grid, Gyroid, Honeycomb, Triangle or Cubic
INFILL PERCENTAGE
Recommended: 40%
WALL COUNT
Recommended: 4
SOLID TOP/BOTTOM LAYERS
Recommended: 5
PRINT IT FORWARD (PIF)
Often times community members that have issues printing ABS will bootstrap themselves into a VORON using
our Print It Forward program. This is a service where approved members with VORON printers can make you a
functional set of parts to get your own machine up and running.
Check Discord if you have any interest in having someone help you out.

HOW TO GET HELP
If you need assistance with your build, we’re here to help. Head on over to our Discord group and post
your questions. This is our primary medium to help VORON Users and we have a great community that
can help you out if you get stuck.

THIS IS JUST A REFERENCE
This manual is designed to be a simple reference manual. Building a Voron can be a complex endeavour
and for that reason we recommend downloading the CAD les off our Github repository if there are
sections you need clarication on. It can be sometimes be easier to follow along when you have the
whole assembly in front of you.

BUTTON HEAD CAP SCREW (BHCS)
Metric fastener with a domed shaped
head and hex drive. Most commonly
found in locations where M3 fasteners
are used.
ISO 7380 -1
SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW (SHCS)
Metric fastener with a cylindrical head
and hex drive. The most common
fastener used on the Voron.
ISO 4762 / DIN 912
HEX NUT
Hex nuts couple with bolts to create a
tight, secure joint. You’ll see these used in
both M2 and M3 variants throughout this
guide.
ISO 4032 / DIN 934
LOCK NUT
Hex nut with a nylon lled center which
prevents the components from loosening.
ISO 10511 / DIN 982
FLAT HEAD COUNTERSUNK SCREW (FHCS)
Metric fastener with a cone shaped head and
a at top.
ISO 10642
PULLEY
GT2 pulley used on the motion system
of the Voron.
HARDWARE REFERENCE

WWW.VORONDESIGN.COM
HARDWARE REFERENCE
HEAT SET INSERT
Heat inserts with a soldering tip so that
they melt the plastic when installed.
As the plastic cools, it solidies around
the knurls and ridges on the insert for
excellent resistance to both torque and
pull-out.
F623 BEARING
A ball bearing with a ange used in
various gantry locations.
SHIM
Not to be confused with stamped
washers. These are used in all M3 call-out
locations in this manual. 3x6x0.5
DIN 988
SELF TAPPING SCREW
Fastener with a pronounced thread
prole that is screwed directly into
plastic.

INTRODUCTION
BLIND JOINT BASICS
Blind Joints provide a cost effective and rigid assembly method.
The head of the BHCS is slid into the channel of another
extrusion and securely fastened through a small access hole in
the extrusion.

BALL-END DRIVER
Some parts of this design require the use of a
ball-end hex driver for assembly. We recommend
you get a 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm one.
INTRODUCTION
2MM HEX DRIVER
The 2mm hex driver will see a lot of use in this
build. A quality driver is strongly recommended.
Refer to the sourcing guide for suggestions.

To help assembly along you may want
to label the extrusions or print the
reference for a faster lookup.

If a unit is not specied assume it’s metric.

HEAT SET INSERTS
This design relies heavily on heat set
inserts. Make sure you got the proper
inserts (check the hardware reference
for a close up picture).
If you’ve never worked with heat set
inserts before we recommend you
watch a guide.

POPULATING NUT CARRIERS
Depending on how much M2 hardware you sourced
you may not be able to fully populate the M2 Nut
Adapters.
To fully populate all 5 adapters you need 50 M2x6
screws and M2 nuts.

MIND THE CARRIAGE
The carriages are designed to slide along the rail easily.
This unfortunately also includes sliding off the rails.
Dropping the carriage likely irreparably damages it.
MGN7 Rail
CENTRED RAIL
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Use the guides to position
the rail in the centre of
the extrusion prior to
fastening the screws.
Y RAILS
MIND THE ACCESS HOLE POSITION
We do our best to call out things that may bite you later in
the assembly process. If in doubt please refer to the CAD
model, it might save you some considerable time down
the road.

WWW.VORONDESIGN.COM
PREVENTING MISHAPS
During assembly some rail ends won’t be supported by
stoppers that prevent the carriage from coming of the rails.
Some rails come with little plastic stop pins, you can leave
those in place for the assembly.
If your rail does not have these stop pins leave the last
screws slightly loose to act as a stopper.
Alternatively use some tape to x the carriage in place.
RAIL POSITIONING
Use the centring guides to align the
rails on the extrusion.
Position the end of the rail 38mm
from the extrusions edge.

WHERE’S THE NUT?
The instructions won’t call out nuts that were
inserted in a previous step, nor nuts that can
be easily inserted in the current step.
NO STOPPERS AT THIS END (..YET)
Mind the carriage. You may want to use
some sticky tape to prevent mishaps.
