The Voron Trident is an open source CoreXY 3D printer with a fixed gantry and a bed carried on three independently driven leadscrews. The chamber is fully enclosed and the bed reaches 110 °C. LDO builds the Cube kit at 300mm in all three axes rather than the standard 250mm Z height from the original bill of materials.
Rev. D is the latest revision, and it addresses the steps that often delay first time builders. The looms arrive cut and crimped, the toolhead runs on a single USB cable, and the touchscreen, chamber lighting, stainless rails, and hardware for two common mods are already in the box.
Gearhead Creations 5 minute review on the LDO Trident kit covers the pros, cons and if you should buy it.
Every Trident built to the official BOM stops at 250 mm in Z, regardless of which XY size is picked.
LDO extends the Z on the 300 mm variant to match the footprint. Frame extrusions, linear rails, and panels are all cut and specified for the taller frame, so the assembly follows the standard manual step for step with no substitutions and no improvised parts. There is one size and one configuration to order.
CoreXY bolts both motors to the frame and drives the toolhead through crossed belt loops, keeping moving mass low enough to hold accuracy at speed. The Trident takes that layout and fixes the gantry in place permanently.
The bed does the work in Z instead, riding on three leadscrews with a stepper on each. Klipper probes the plate, drives the screws independently until it sits parallel with the gantry, and repeats the routine at the start of the next print. The whole routine is a G-code macro, so it happens without anyone touching the machine.
Leadscrews also hold their position when the power is off, so a Trident tends to stay in tune between builds.
The two enclosed Vorons share their CoreXY motion, the Stealthburner toolhead, and the Klipper ecosystem. The Z axis is the difference.
| Voron Trident | Voron 2.4 | |
|---|---|---|
| Z Motion | Bed moves on three leadscrews, gantry bolted to the frame | Bed is fixed, gantry hangs from four belted Z motors |
| Leveling Routine | Z tilt adjust, three points | Quad gantry leveling, four points |
| Build Difficulty | Fewer parts in the Z assembly, shorter build, forgiving of small errors | Gantry squaring and belt tension take patience to get right |
| Ongoing Calibration | Leadscrews hold position, drift is rare | Belted gantry wants periodic attention |
| Trade-off | Bed mass moves, so very tall builds get impractical | Scales to taller frames without moving the bed |
For a first Voron, the Trident is often the better choice. A Voron 2.4 will punish a sloppy gantry build for as long as you own it, while a Trident with the same errors will still print. At 300 mm of Z, the Trident Cube also covers a big reason that many builders go 2.4 in the first place.

2020 aluminum extrusion, pre-cut and pre-tapped. LDO stainless MGN12H and MGN9H rails at 350 mm. Gates 2GT 6 mm belts. LDO 42STH48 motors on A and B, 42STH40 on the three Z screws, 36STH20 driving the extruder.
LDO Leviathan V1.3 mainboard carrying five TMC2209 and two TMC5160 drivers. Nitehawk-SB USB toolboard. 4.3 in KlipperScreen touchscreen. Meanwell LRS-200-24 supply, integrated AC inlet with switch and fuse, Omron solid state relay.
Stealthburner with the Clockwork 2 extruder and Bondtech IDGA dual-drive gears. E3D Revo hotend in high flow trim, good to 300 °C with nozzle changes by hand. A 5015 blower for part cooling, a 4010 on the heatsink, two 6020 fans in the chamber, and the Nevermore Micro V5 filtration parts.
Cast 5083 aluminum plate, Blanchard ground, 305 × 305 × 10 mm. LDO AC silicone heater with a 125 °C thermal fuse. PEI spring steel on a magnetic pad. Black acrylic deck, back, and bottom, with clear acrylic doors, sides, and top.
A Trident needs a full set of printed parts, in ABS or ASA, since the chamber runs too hot for PLA to survive. LDO includes the kit-specific prints such as the Leviathan brackets, Nitehawk adapter, cable anchors, and LED diffuser, and publishes a Printed Parts Guide covering settings and a checklist for the rest.
With a working printer, start those files the day you order so they are done when the kit lands. Without one, our made-to-order Voron Trident Printed Parts Kit from Bounty3D comes in Fusion Filaments ABS, black with your choice of accent color, dimensionally accurate and set up for generic or IGUS cable chains. It covers the functional set that gets the machine running. Skirts, hinges, and the cosmetic parts come off the finished Trident later.
The Raspberry Pi is not included by default and must be sourced separately.
Around 1.5 kg of ABS or ASA covers a full set of printed parts for the Voron Trident build.
There are 96 brass heatset inserts to melt into the printed parts. LDO supplies the insert tip, hex wrenches, and a driver, so you need your own iron and a pair of side cutters.
The official Voron manual drives the mechanical assembly, and LDO's build notes accompany it, marking the steps that change because of what's included. The wiring guide covers the pre-terminated looms and the Leviathan pinout.
Once Klipper is talking to the board, print the Voron design cube first. It exercises extrusion, temperature control, motion, and dimensional accuracy in one small part, and it will tell you quickly what, if anything needs tuning. LDO recommends OrcaSlicer, which ships with Voron profiles ready to go.
