Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon P1 Max[1]Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[2]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$959 advertised single-unit sale/from price; $999 compare-at, not launch MSRP. Global USD storefront, Other plug/no resin selected; US price, availability, shipping and tax require checkout. Checked 2026-10-17.[1]$1,274.99 for the LDO kit at Fabreeko, on pre-order with a mid-to-late September ship estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live product feed shows the Trident kit at $1,199.99 and unavailable, so the figure depends on which variant is selected[2][3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedTwo size variants on the LDO kit: Rev D 250 mm and Rev D+ 300 mm. Distinguished from the Voron 2.4 by the Z system: Trident has a fixed gantry with three Z motors lifting the bed, while the 2.4 lifts the gantry on four belted Z motors. Colour options black, space grey, blue[2][4]

Frame construction & materialNot documentedAluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedCoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[2]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear guide rails and ball lead screws (manufacturer specification)[1]Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[2]

Heater cartridge power (W)Not documented60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[2]
Heated Bed & Surface
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedPrecision-ground steel build platform[1]LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[2]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Leveling-Free 3.0 with feedback and pre-print self-check (manufacturer claim)[1]Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[2]
Electronics & Power
Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist)Not documentedLDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[2]

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
