Voron is the best-known open CoreXY printer running Klipper. The official Voron 2.4 tops out at 350×350 mm, which is why many people look for a Voron 500×500 or Voron 600×600. We have built and serviced large Klipper printers for years, so here is what to know before deciding.
Is there an official Voron 600×600?
No. Voron Design publishes machines up to 350 mm. The 500 and 600 mm versions are community modifications – longer extrusions, different belts, a stronger frame. Each such build is effectively a custom project.
What changes when you scale a Voron
- Frame and gantry stiffness – 2020 extrusion starts to flex at 600 mm; you need a thicker profile or a carbon beam, and a heavier gantry lowers accelerations.
- Belts and resonance – longer 6 mm GT2 belts stretch, so large machines use 9 mm belts and careful input shaping.
- The bed – heating a 600×600 plate requires a 230 V heater, an SSR and a solid machined aluminium plate, or the bed warps.
- Z axis – four screws or belts (quad gantry level) with a heavy gantry need stronger motors.
- Chamber – with ABS and ASA, a larger chamber volume is harder to keep at a stable temperature.
Voron 500×500 or 600×600?
The difference in volume is about 70%. If you are building a machine with headroom anyway, 600 mm leaves room for housings, moulds and large prototypes in one piece. We compared this in 3D printer 500×500×500 or 600×600.
Building it yourself – how long does it take
A large Voron typically means dozens of hours of assembly, then calibration: QGL, bed mesh, input shaping, pressure advance and profile tuning. Parts for larger formats often have to be sourced yourself. It is a great project for a hobbyist, but in a company what counts is the time to the first production print.
The alternative: a ready 600×600 printer on Klipper
Our Revon printers grew from the same experience as large Vorons: CoreXY, Klipper, enclosed chamber – but with a frame and bed designed for large format from the start. Each runs Revo OS, our optimised Klipper-based system, and arrives calibrated, with service and support.
