There's so much to the world of high performance printers beyond Vorons.
I'm heavily modding my Kingroon KLP1 to print with 65°C chamber temperature for ASA, and building a The 100 for ultra high speed printing.
There's ever-escalating material printing capability you can desire, necessitating higher and higher chamber temperatures, with requisite engineering challenges (matched thermal expansion coefficients, kinematic mounts for the bed, part and hotend cooling, keeping motors cool, bearing lifespan...)
- dotnet00 3y agoIs there any reason you're aiming specifically for a temperature as high as 65C? Maybe working up to really high end stuff like PEEK? In my experience, ASA and even PC does fine even with a much easier to maintain 40C.
- CarVac 3y agoHigher chamber temperatures completely eliminate warping (no brims needed ever) and improve layer adhesion.
- rcarmo 3y agoI was looking at the KLP1 (I have a KP3S Pro[0]) but ended up getting an SK1[1], which has a bigger volume (but is not enclosed yet, and I want to print ASA as well).

- CarVac 3y agoThe SK1 looks interesting. BTW the part cooling fan looks to be similarly shaped to the KLP1 one: https://kingroon.com/collections/kingroon-klp1-3d-printer-replacement-parts-accessories/products/5015-blower-fan-24v-12v-for-kingroon-kp3s-pro-v2-klp1 https://kingroon.com/collections/kingroon-klp1-3d-printer-re...
- rcarmo 3y agoYes, but the SK1’s is a little bit more centered. I haven’t found anything like it yet.
- MegaDeKay 3y agoYou can hit 65°C in a Voron pretty easily with cheap foam insulation you can get at pretty much any hardware store. Go with this mod and get to 80°C no problem. All without supplemental heating that the Voron folks frown upon for safety reasons. https://github.com/Esoterical/PrinterMods/tree/main/Embiggened%20Monolith%20Panels https://github.com/Esoterical/PrinterMods/tree/main/Embiggen...
- CarVac 3y agoI use a bedfan for heating, so it's no safety hazard.
