Voron 2.4 r2 (self-build) review
Not a product — a documented open-source design you source and build yourself. The most capable machine on this list if you enjoy the build as much as the printing.
Best for: Experienced makers who want to build, not buy.

Five axes, each out of ten, averaged with no weighting. How we score.

What we don't
- A 20–40 hour build with no support line
- Kit quality varies wildly by vendor
- You are your own warranty

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a peak that no printer holds across a whole part, so use it for comparison and don't expect it in real print times.
