| Property | Voron TridentCOREXY | VzBoT AWD 330COREXY |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | ||
| Brand | Voron Design | VzBoT |
| Class | COREXY | COREXY |
| Identity & Market | ||
| Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first) | Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[1] | VzBoT AWD 330, also written Vz330. Sold as "DIY VzBoT AWD 330 VZ330 3D Printer Kit" by Mellow[2] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | $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[1][3] | $1,360.00 at Mellow, available and shipping from China, checked Aug 2026[2] |
| Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk) | Two 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[1][4] | Ordered by colour (black or silver) and mains voltage (110 V or 220 V). Mellow describes the kit as a test version that still requires the buyer to print some components, and the 5-inch DSI screen requires a host computer that supports DSI — neither is included[2] |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[1] | 330 x 330 x 400 mm[2] |
| Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang) | Not documented | 530 x 500 x 720 mm body dimensions[2] |
| Net weight (kg) | Not documented | 31 kg net, 36 kg gross[2] |
| Frame construction & material | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[1] | CNC-machined all-metal frame with carbon-rod components[2] |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[1] | CoreXY in an AWD (all-wheel drive) arrangement — two motors on X and two on Y, four in total for the XY plane, each on its own external driver[2] |
| X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size) | Not documented | LDO 9 mm rail on X; LDO 12 mm dual rails on Y; 10 mm optical shafts on Z[2] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[1] | Not documented |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers[1] | Four external TMC5160 drivers for the LDO XY motors[2] |
| Extruder | ||
| Type (direct drive / bowden) & design name | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[1] | Lightweight all-metal direct drive with a twill drive wheel[2] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[1] | VZ High Speed hotend[2] |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[1] | Not documented |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limit | Not documented | 120 °C maximum bed temperature (manufacturer claim)[2] |
| Bed heater type (DC/AC mains) & wattage | Not documented | 750 W silicone bed heater on an 8 mm aluminium plate[2] |
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[1] | 8 mm aluminium plate with a magnetic spring-steel PEI-coated sheet[2] |
| Leveling & Z-Offset | ||
| Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe) | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | LDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[1] | 32-bit mainboard, quoted by Mellow at 550 Hz. Exact board model not named on the listing[2] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Klipper[1] | Klipper or RepRapFirmware[2] |
| Connectivity, UI & Camera | ||
| Display: size, type, touch? | Not documented | 5-inch DSI display; requires a compatible host computer, which is not included[2] |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | COB LED chamber lighting included[1] | Not documented |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Self-assembly kit[1] | Self-assembly kit; some parts must be printed by the buyer[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.
