Adding a new file to the SS baseline

6x6x3mm y-carriage spacers are available from McMaster. Buy 10 instead of 9, price goes down from $2.11 to $1.79 each. These should work, but haven't received them to verify the fit.

On the page https://vorondesign.com/voron_switchwire when clicking on the BOM button, the BOM displayed and available for download as voron_switchwire_bom.csv seems to have a part missing.

It is not consistent with the information given in the sourcing guide: https://vorondesign.com/sourcing_guide?model=VS

Under the Misc section the
Bowden Tube (4mm OD, 3mm ID) | 3m
listed in the sourcing guide is missing from the downloadable sourcing guide.

The Switchwire is the only Voron with a manual that does not have a wiring guide.

The BOM indicates

USB Cable A-male B-male QTY: 2

The sourcing guide indicates

USB Cable A-male Mini B-male (Included with SKR Mini) QTY: 1

This part is red in the CAD and also in the V2.4 manual, it doesn't really matter in the end since it's not visible, but I figured I'd let y'all know anyway.

p 139 has a link that 404s because of the extra character
https://docs.vorondesign.com/%20

Current config files are based on old Klipper menu system. Suggest updating or removing them.

After a full month of testing and fine tuning i made a Correct fysetc spider printer.cfg.
The old firmware are a very old Klipper config. Also extruder settings are incorrect. That is causing extreme heat Extruder Motor.
Here is my Printer.cfg for the fysetc spider

where are you find y carriage cad file ?

Maybe I'm blind but i've searched for build guides or how to's or anything close to that and i couldn't find one? is it still on the to-do?

The Switchwire manual shows the diode and signal wire connection but just shows the positive and negative probe wires going to nothing.

The website could be more clear as well.
https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/electrical/sw_miniE3_v20_wiring.html
Says...
Plug Probe GND and Signal (with BAT85 diode) in to Z-STOP
Connect Probe +V to VIN in terminal next to HB

Sound Say...
Plug Probe Ground (Blue Wire) to Z-STOP GND and Signal (Black Wire) with BAT85 diode (black band facing away from connector) in to Z-STOP PC2
Connect Probe Positive (Brown Wire) to POWER 12/24V (The one just to the Left of BED)

Hi there,

so i bought a used switchwire with an skr 1.3 and a pi 4 b.

The problem is the printer has no firmware on the sd card of the skr.

So i tought taht seeting it up completly new would solve this.

But i am stuck at the point of the voron instructions for selecting the software config out of the three ones.

My skr 1.3 board is not listed ?

Would be awsome if someone could help.

Thanks for your time.

There are inconsistencies between the sourcing guide https://vorondesign.com/sourcing_guide?model=VS and the BOM available on the https://vorondesign.com/voron_switchwire page

Under the Misc section in the sourcing guide there is
BMG Extruder Hardware Kit
In the downloadable BOM this is listed in the Motion section as
BMG Extruder Componnets Kit

Under the Motion section in the sourcing guide there is
Key-bak Super48 13oz
this is listed in the Misc section in the downloadable BOM as
Key-Bak Super 48 Retractable Keychain
(I think this description is clearer as to what the item is)

On page 10, the uprights for Z is marked for use for the bottom cross extrusions.
And on page 14 the cross extrusions are marked for use on Z
Example on page 10:

Makes the bottom look funky wide :)

BOM calls for 52 3030 M5 T-Nuts, quantity required is 55.

In the triangle pattern cable chain mount

manual: Red (Vcc) and black (and) polarity is reversed on the Bed Heater Wiring / Heated Bed - pg 113

OBSERVED: On page 110 of the SW assembly manual, 2 SCHS bolts are required to set the display in place. 2 bolts are shown but no details are given

EXPECTED: Bolts should be labeled M3x16 SHCS

Manual version reviewed: 2021-11-26

[a]_x_bearing_block_SW_beta0.stl is only used for SW, but the V2/Trident MGN12 carriage can mount to the same rail without this extra piece.

I suggest changing the SW carriage to mount directly to the rail, the same as V2/Trident. This would save an extra part, 4 screws, and 4 heat set inserts. I was able to redesign the original SW carriage in this way and have used it without issues.

Maybe I am missing an advantage of the extra block, but I suspect it exists simply because it was designed first. When Trident was designed, a better way to make the carriage was discovered.

20201213: It is not valid to specify a Z "position_endstop" when using "probe:z_virtual_endstop". An error will now be raised if a Z "position_endstop" is specified with "probe:z_virtual_endstop". Remove the Z "position_endstop" definition to fix the error.

It says you need two MOSs in BoM, but it's not written in the sourcing guide. Do I have to buy MOS? How can I connect if I need MOS or not?

Red and black power cables are both attached to V+ screw terminals of DC supply

I'm currently building a Switchwire and downloaded the latest Release from 28 of August in 2020. While printing the parts, I realized that an old version of the Afterburner is included in this release. A closer look into the repository unveiled that several STLs have been updated after this release. I think there should be a "Switchwire 1.1" or "Switchwire 1.0.1" release for that. At least the update of the Afterburner would have been worth it after all. People have been downloading an outdated release to build the switchwire for a year and a half now....

In the Assembly manual, pages 74 and 75 for the Clockwork assembly are repeated, overwriting the instructions for the guidler and latch install.

it looks like https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Switchwire/blob/master/STL/Gantry/XZ_Axis/%5Ba%5D_upper_idler_support_b_left.stl and https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Switchwire/blob/master/STL/Gantry/XZ_Axis/%5Ba%5D_upper_idler_support_b_right.stl are a different version than what is contained here https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Switchwire/blob/master/CAD/Bowden_Dual_Adapter.step. Is it possible to get the updated files in step or f3d?

I'm not sure which connector cover in the afterburner repo is the one in switchwire.

I got this wacky stepper motor from Taobao. With this motor, the following issues would occur:

• The cable cover will break in the installation
• The 20mm screws are to be too short to reach the threads
• The threaded insert on the clockwork can't be used to secure the cable cover since it's further away.

The image below is the stepper:

Update Klipper configs to use rotation_distance.

Some stl's have [a] as a prefix. What does this mean?

The downloadable BOM has an Electronics section with 20 items.

The sourcing guide has an an Electronics section with 13 items.

The sourcing guide has a "Controller" section with 6 items which the downloadable BOM does not have
some of these items can be found in the Electronics section of the dowloadable BOM
for example
SKR Mini E3 V2
but others are not listed in the BOM at all for example
MicroSD Card

hello,i'll like to use a Biqu H2 extruder on this,but cannot find a mount plate compatible

I think the orientation of the [a]_Belt_Clamp_SW_x2.STL is wrong and should be rotated the same as the [a]_xz_belt_clip_x2.stl in the Switchwire-github.
