INTRODUCTION

Before you begin on your journey, a word of caution.

In the comfort of your own home you are about to assemble a robot. This

machine can maim, burn, and electrocute you if you are not careful. Please

do not become the rst VORON fatality. There is no special Reddit air for that.

Please, read the entire manual before you start assembly. As you begin wrenching,

please check our Discord channels for any tips and questions that may halt your progress.

Most of all, good luck!

THIS IS JUST A REFERENCE

This manual is designed to be a simple reference manual. Building a Voron can be a complex endeavour

and for that reason we recommend downloading the CAD les off our Github repository if there are

sections you need clarication on. It can be sometimes be easier to follow along when you have the

whole assembly in front of you.
