mine broke today, having withdrawal issues since parts won't be here till monday.
Mine is 6 years old without issue other than early on the X axis belt pulley slipping on the stepper shaft, causing X shift. The tiny set screws kept backing out. A dab of VC3 took care of that but I doubt I'll ever get them back out.
extruder tensioning arm, known issue on mine, also have replaced fans a couple times (going to ball bearing) and a z limit switch issue.
is what it is i guess. printer has about 500 hours on it.
the real amazement is not the printer, but once you can design, the world it opens up, is crazy.
I also design for money and have one product on amazon now, and soon to add more.
I ordered the BMG clone from diamondlabs in antisapation of that going on mine. so far I have put the dual Z screw kit in, added a bl touch, doing the extruder and when I can find a raspberry pi in stock I am going to add octiprint and change to liniear rails. I am also starting to source parts to build a voron 2.4 and add a second printer.
