Tiny M - Build log

17 Dec 2020

This will be a build log for my Tiny-M 3d printer. I am planning to build a Tiny-M printer (which is in fact based on the Voron V0). I'm still thinking if I should go for a Duet board or with a classic SKR Mini v2 which is way cheaper. Things I need to figure out:

find a list of vendors of 3d printer parts in France (since I recenly moved here and I want to get the best prices regarding shipping). - voron french discord group might be of help here
find someone French or EU based that will be able to print the necessary parts - voron french discord group might be of help here as well
study both V0 and Tiny-M step files, as well as Xile's direct drive mod.
figure out a rough total price and keep a BOM with links

Later edit 1:

These are the sites that I received:

One guy on the french voron/tinyM channel offered to help with screws & printed parts: iBLtz V2.400 ❤️

Ok, so after downloading both step files, I started comparing the two designs: V0 and Tiny-M. Since the Tiny-M doesn't have a comprehensive guide like the Voron does (manual + videos online), I don't wanna screw things up so I'm the kind of person that needs to know the differences. Hence, I decided to spend a few hours navingating the two designs in Fusion, hide and unhide parts, measure things, compare parts, etc.

Here are the two step files:

I also made a small comparison table to note the biggest differences:

↘︎	Tiny-M	V0
Width size _^*	300mm	230mm
Depth size _^*	300mm	230mm
Height size _^**	366.2mm	280mm
Print area	150x150x150 mm³	120x120x120 mm³
Extrudsion type	2020 Nut 5 I-Typ alu	1515 Makerbeam XL
Motors	Nema 17	Nema 14
Rails type XY	MGN9H	MGN7H
Rails type Z	MGN12H	MGN7H

_{^{* - without side panels}}

_{^{** - with including feet}}

Most printed parts are more or less the same ase V0 - most of the time only the size/scale of things are a bit different.
