The state of the FTC is so fucking sad.

The tornado was my first printer back when it first came out in 2017! The second z screw made a HUGE difference on my machine, same with adding braces to the z and switching to kilpper so I could run input shaping (no matter what though I was always limited by the heavy glass bed). I ended up buying the SK-GO because I tightened the bed leveling knob too much and shattered the bed lol.

I’m not really unhappy with my SK-GO it’s a very good machine especially for the price I got it at but I’ve had some reliability issues and it has some imo fundamental design problems (many of which have been fixed with the newer versions of the go) and it feels like if I’m going to spend the money to fix the things I’m sick of dealing with I.E. warped bed, weak/flexy x axis, bad carriage design, not built with enclosures in mind. I might as well save up some extra cash and either rebuild the machine into another design like a rat rod or Voron, or just buy a new printer many of which people seem to be raving about and don’t have the problems my GO has. Also I put roughly 10-20 hours on my machine per week so even just a 10% time savings would add up to saving me a lot of time/money over the life time of the machine.

I hadn’t really considered building out a Voron but looking into it, it seems like converting the so go into a voron is probably the way to go. Thanks so much for the info!

Wow I had somehow never thought of this. This seems like it’s probably the best and best value option.

 

With the k1, Bambu labs, and prusa xl all coming out I’m really starting to look at my 3 year old SK-GO as “slow”. Do you think it’s worth waiting for awhile and seeing if the competition heats up more or should I just pull the trigger on one of the current high speed machines
