# Overview
The **Doron Velta** is a Voron-styled delta printer by [Rogerio Goncalves (rogerlz)](https://github.com/rogerlz), a Danger-Klipper contributor. It started around SMRRF2023 as an April Fool's joke — "the Voron team will never release a delta" — built from the arms of a donated FLSUN Q5 plus spare parts, and grew into a real, working design that looks like a Voron Trident that got squeezed into a tower.
**This is not an official Voron Design project.** Aesthetic and hardware conventions are Voron (2020/2040 extrusion, MGN9 rails, GT2 9mm belts, button head hardware, ACM/acrylic panels, Klipper), but it carries no VD support or serial numbers beyond the community "DV-###" special serial tradition.
Current design revision is **R2 (v20, 2024-07-13)**. rogerlz's original repo was archived 2026-01-03; active development and kits now live with **Fabreeko/HoneyBadger** and **FYSETC**.
==Decide which lineage to build against: rogerlz R1/R2 originals vs. Fabreeko R2 (fixed/renamed/pre-oriented STLs, Voron naming) vs. FYSETC R2 kit CAD.==
# Design
## Specs

| Firmware | Klipper (or Danger-Klipper / Kalico) + Raspberry Pi host |
| Panels | ACM/acrylic, full enclosure |
## Known limitations
Straight from rogerlz's disclaimer — worth reading before committing money:
- The toolhead **does not have full bed travel**. It will hit the panels and/or belts.
- R1 → R2 reclaimed ~15 mm total travel via printed-part revisions (2020s moved 5 mm back, 2040s 5 mm out).
- Full travel would require a major redesign; do not expect it.
# BOM
Sourced from the [official BOM.md](https://github.com/rogerlz/Doron-Velta/blob/main/BOM.md) (R2). Source links point at the vendor rogerlz called out where one exists — substitute freely, most of it is generic. The **Ordered** column is yours to flip to `Yes` (add a date if useful, e.g. `Yes 2026-08-20 AliExpress`).
Note: AliExpress links in the official BOM are affiliate short-links (`s.click.aliexpress.com`) and rot over time — ==verify each still resolves to the right part before ordering==.

## Printhead
The official toolhead as of R2 is **[CraneFly by chirpy](https://github.com/chirpy2605/voron/tree/main/general/CraneFly)** — a delta *effector*, currently **BETA2** (last changelog 2024-07-06). The older MiniSB variant is still hidden in the F3D but is no longer maintained. None of the below is included in the frame BOM above.
==CraneFly is still a BETA release and chirpy notes the CAD "will change as the BETA is developed." Check for a newer revision before printing.==
### CraneFly effector — chirpy's BOM
This is chirpy's complete list. It covers the effector only — hotend, extruder, and wiring are separate (see below).
| Item | Part Number / Spec | Qty | Source | Ordered |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| M3 × 8 BHCS/SHCS | Effector plate → cage | 8 | — | No |
| M3 × 6 BHCS | Hotend mount → cage | 6 | — | No |
| Brass heat insert, M3 × 4 × 5mm | Voron-standard | 20 | — | No |
| 4010 blower fan | Part cooling, L + R | 2 | — | No |
| 3010 axial fan | Hotend cooling | 1 | — | No |
| Neopixel | 1 hotend + 1 lens | 2 | — | No |
BETA2 adds an **alternate effector plate using M3 square nuts** (DIN 562 preferred) instead of heat inserts — if you go that route, swap 8 of the inserts for square nuts.
### CraneFly printed parts
- Effector plate (heat-insert version **or** M3 square-nut version)
- Effector cage
- Strain relief
- Lens — opaque/translucent, or any filament if skipping Neopixels
- Lens carrier — DV logo or VD logo variants; VD carrier has a Rainbow Barf option
- Probe mount (optional)
Print in **ABS/ASA or better**, Voron spec slicer settings. ==Do not use Arachne or similar — chirpy warns it causes print problems.==
### Hotend — supported patterns
Pick one; the mount is pattern-specific.
| Hotend | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dragon SF / HF | |
| Dragon ACE | |
| Dragon Volcano | Dragon UHF without MZE |
| Rapido v1 / v2 | |
| Revo Voron | |
| Bambu Lab X1C (and clones) | |
| Sailfish high-flow | ==Ships with the FYSETC kit — confirm it matches a supported mount pattern, it is not on chirpy's list== |
**Peck flexure mounts** exist for Dragon-pattern hotends but chirpy labels them **ALPHA — untested on this printer**. They use 4× M3 × 6 straight into plastic (no inserts), and the lower grub screw must go past the switch wire hole. ==Avoid for a first build.==
### Extruder and wiring — not in chirpy's BOM
BETA2 added mounting for various extruder patterns, but warns *"some extruders may not fit within the dimensions of the arms."*
| Item | Part Number / Spec | Qty | Source | Ordered |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| Extruder | Kit ships metal Sherpa Mini + Moons pancake | 1 | [Sherpa Mini](https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa_Mini-Extruder) | No |
| Hotend | Per table above | 1 | — | No |
| Toolhead PCB / wiring | ECAS04 fitment supported; strain-relief mount exists for the hartk MiniSB Bowden PCB | 1 | — | No |
| PTFE / bowden tube | Length per final geometry | — | — | No |
| Zip ties | Effector has moulded tie points | — | — | No |
### Assembly order matters
chirpy is emphatic: assemble in the documented order or you'll have to dismantle to reach later steps. Rough sequence — heat inserts → left fan **wire** through cage (fan not fitted) → hotend to mount, slide in from rear, 4× M3 × 6 per side → 3010 fan (cable to the right) → hotend Neopixel routed same channel → right 4010 → left 4010 → Neopixel into effector plate → plate onto cage with 4× M3 × 8 → arms and cable routing.
## Hardware
Most hardware in the design is **button head** SHCS.
| Item | Qty | Source | Ordered |
|---|---:|---|---|
| M3 × 6 BHCS | 40 | — | No |
| M3 × 8 BHCS | 110 | — | No |
| M3 × 10 BHCS | 12 | — | No |
| M3 × 12 BHCS | 10 | — | No |
| M3 × 16 BHCS | 26 | — | No |
| M3 × 20 BHCS | 2 | — | No |
| M3 × 30 BHCS | 2 | — | No |
| M5 × 8 BHCS | 24 | — | No |
| M5 × 10 BHCS | 26 | — | No |
| M5 × 12 BHCS | 36 | — | No |
| M5 × 16 BHCS | 3 | — | No |
| M5 × 25 BHCS | 6 | — | No |
| M5 hex nut | 3 | — | No |
| M3 heat-set inserts | 50 | — | No |
R2 note: the M5 × 60 screws from R1 are **no longer needed**.
## Panels
| Item | Part Number / Spec | Qty | Source | Ordered |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| ACM/acrylic inner panel | R2 panels are slightly wider than R1 | 2 | [Viper Worx UK](https://www.viperworx.uk/product-category/panels/doron-velta) | No |
| ACM/acrylic bottom panel | | 1 | [Viper Worx UK](https://www.viperworx.uk/product-category/panels/doron-velta) | No |
| ACM/acrylic upper panel | | 1 | [Viper Worx UK](https://www.viperworx.uk/product-category/panels/doron-velta) | No |
| Acrylic side panel | | 3 | [Viper Worx UK](https://www.viperworx.uk/product-category/panels/doron-velta) | No |
==Viper Worx is UK-based — check shipping vs. cutting panels locally or sourcing from a US vendor.==
## Printed parts
Not a purchase line, but plan filament before ordering:
- Fabreeko repo ships STLs **pre-oriented**, renamed to Voron conventions, with an OrcaSlicer project file sized for a 300mm printer.
- Optional 3rd accent color — treat `[a1]` and `[a2]` as the same color if only using two.
- Kyleisah contributed built-in supports for the corner pieces.
- ABS/ASA recommended (Voron convention); enclosure is part of the design.
==Estimate filament: main + accent 1 + accent 2 quantities.==

# Build Log
## 2026-08-17
- Created note. Pulled specs and BOM from rogerlz's official repo (R2, archived) and cross-checked against Fabreeko and FYSETC forks.
- No parts ordered yet.
- Expanded the CraneFly effector into a full sub-BOM from chirpy's BETA2 README: hardware, fans, Neopixels, printed parts, supported hotend patterns, and assembly order. Flagged that the kit's Sailfish hotend isn't on chirpy's supported list.
# TODO

- ~~Expand CraneFly toolhead sub-BOM~~ (done 2026-08-17)
- ==Pick a hotend from CraneFly's supported list — Sailfish (kit hotend) is not on it==
- ==Check whether CraneFly has moved past BETA2 before printing the effector==
- ==Decide heat inserts vs. M3 square nuts for the effector plate==
- ==Confirm MISUMI part numbers and get a quote (compare vs. Amazon/AliExpress extrusion)==
- ==Estimate printed-part filament by color==
- ==Source a Raspberry Pi / CB1 for the Klipper host==
- ==Check R2 panel dimensions before ordering — R1 panels do not fit==
