Gonna build a Voron. Build a Trident.
get everything else from the official Voron BOM
- go to https://vorondesign.com/voron_trident
- select configurator, make your choices like direct feed, blind joints, 250
- hit show or download
Part | Can reuse |
---|---|
Creality mainboard | yes, but need a second like skr pico |
Leadscrew | yes |
2nd Leadscrew | yes |
Stock leadscrew coupler | yes, better than the "spring" ones |
Bed heater | yes |
Flexplate | yes |
steppers | yes, but need more |
Power Supply | yes, even the fat one |
AC Inlet + Switch | yes, check voron mods |
Cables | yes, except toolhead wiring |
Display | Yes if its the monochrome |
Raspberry | yes |
Custom Extruder | likely yes, check the many Trident mods |
Custom Hotend | likely yes, check the many Trident mods |
Vwheels | no |
Sheetmetal Parts | no |
Random screw | maybe |
You CAN reuse your existing mgn12, however you need new mounts and thicccc weatherstrips for the panels. I used these
- go to https://vorondesign.com/voron_trident
- click "Manual"
- follow the manual 1:1 except bed mounting
- see this for bed mounting, make something yourself or buy a Trident bed
Trident selfsource
115€ 5xmgn9 + 1xmgn12
65€ siboor leadscrew stepper (3 pieces, 15€ each)
60€ frame
30€ skr pico as secondary mcu
50€ Trident screw kit (cheaper in metric land locally)
15€ 5M Gates belts
12€ 2x 10pc f695 (are 20 enough?)
5€ spherical bearings
=352 € (no panels tho)
Building an Enderwire with Siboor kit instead of a Trident
€346.44 (requires a Ender3 v2 or pro)
- inverted electronics
- shorter reverse bowden
- fast preheating print area
- over bed static fans (RSCD)
- quick and easy underbed fan replacements
- print on eye level, reduce back bending/pain
- additional bottom storage when not printing near max Z
- filament storage
- plate storage
- finished plates /parts can slowly cooldown while printing the next
- easier to tune, less belts to tension equally
- static AB motors easy to extend with dampers, fans or replace for longer
- 250 build can have a internal Spoolroller even with 260 bed (see mods)
- stable xy gantry
- internal spool holder
- no Z dragchain required and still looking neat
- waaaay more mods than SW
If you absolutely must, then feel free to apply the principal of stuffing Ender parts into different Frame to the V2 frame.

- What can i reuse?
- everything that is not sheetmetal or vwheels and preferable not the frame
- How to mount the Ender 3 bed?
- Trident inverted Trident Inverted Electronics
- Reusing leadscrew & coupler to not lose Z height
- Internal Spoolroller
and why you should invest a minuscula amount of money for new extrusions
Fun fact 1111 & 1112 battled for the 1111 serial technically 1112 is Voron Trident #1111 as they start from 0
build it and DM me on discord °~°
Ender3dent with mgn12 aka Enderwire to Ender3dent conversion showing the need for thicker foam (weather stripes in this case)
