Trident 300

The Trident 300 is an FDM 3D printer from Voron Design with a 300 x 300 x 300 mm build volume.

Specifications

The Voron Design Trident 300 is a prosumer-grade FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer featuring a build volume of 300 mm (X) x 300 mm (Y) x 300 mm (Z). Developed by the open-source community Voron Design, the Trident is a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) machine. Unlike off-the-shelf commercial printers, it must be built either from a pre-sourced kit or by self-sourcing components. The builder is responsible for structural assembly, wiring, and software configuration.

CoreXY Motion Gantry and Fixed Portal

The Voron Trident utilizes a CoreXY kinematics design for motion in the X/Y plane.

Calibration

Follow this 8-step calibration guide to configure the Voron Trident 300 for high-performance printing.

• Frame Squaring and Structural Verification

Before applying power, verify that the frame is square and level. Use a machinist's square to check all extrusion joints. Measure the frame diagonals in the X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z planes.

• Expected result: Diagonal differences should be under 1.0 mm to ensure a square frame and prevent linear rail binding.

Common defects

• Hardware defects and mechanical weaknesses
• MIC6 Bed Bowing from Rigid Mounting: If the MIC6 aluminum bed is bolted directly to the frame mounts without clearance for thermal expansion, the bed will bow in the center when heated to high temperatures. This causes first-layer height variations. Use kinematic mounts to allow the aluminum plate to expand freely.
• Z-Lead Screw Binding: The bed moves on three lead screws.

What it is used for

Best Use-Cases

• High-Speed ABS/ASA Printing: The enclosed chamber and CoreXY gantry are suitable for printing ABS and ASA parts quickly without warping [6, 9].
• Low-Volume Batch Production: The Trident is a reliable platform for print farms producing functional plastic components.
