This is a modern refresh of the Ender 3 to Voron Switchwire conversion project.
It builds off boubounokefalos/Ender_SW, and incorporates several new modifications contributed by the community (including me) to bring it up to date with modern standards.
Ender Switchwire.3mf- collection of the 3d printed parts, with print settings for Bambu Studio/CAD- includes fully-assembled.f3dand.stepfiles, for use as instructions and visualisation/STLS- contains all the individual 3d printed parts/DXF- the deck and enclosure panels to cut out of acrylic or any other material/IMG- renders of the assembled printer
The base is vanilla Voron, but we have included a few modifications as listed below.
Each can be mixed & matched with the original Voron Switchwire parts too.
