It has open-source software and hardware, and requires building by the user based on parts sourced individually or in kits from third-party vendors.
This contributes to continuous improvement, and there are several types of adaptations, extensions and further developments (for example, the StealthBurner interchangeable tool head).
The Voron project was started by Russian Maks Zolin (pseudonym russiancatfood, RCF) who wanted a better, faster, and quieter 3D printer.
[7] Zolin found that he did not want to run a company and instead decided to release his work freely, inviting others to collaborate with him.
It features a closed build chamber,[10] which provides stable temperatures that are favorable for certain types of 3D printing filament, reduces noise, and allows for controlled exhaust emissions (HEPA filter extensions are available[11]).
It also gives a more space efficient frame, and makes it easier to calibrate the print to be parallel with the build plate (less need for bed mesh trimming).
All movement control is done with Klipper software on a Raspberry Pi, which provides great flexibility and extensibility through various parameters that can be programmed in a configuration file.
Examples of things to pay attention to during construction are that the frame is square, using threadlock on screws and proper torque, using precise 3D printed parts, and connecting all the electrical components correctly.
