Voron 2.4 Bed Hinge Mod
Voron Bed Hinge Mod, as i'm too lazy flip my printer everytime i wan't to access the electronics. Don't know what inverted electronics mod was i used in my 2.4, but as i used the mod of LoganFraser in my trident, i highly recommend that. I tested this bed hinge mod only on a 300 spec Voron, if and how it fits other sizes, i can't tell.

Pre-Assembly
- order all the hardware
- for the joint connector i recommend a connector that can be clamped, so it can't wobble
- print all the parts with voron standard settings
- they are all oriented in the proper way
- you don't need any supports, but proper cooling
- use voron standard settings
- use abs, ore more heat resistant material
- others WILL melt and bent
- Order the custom Deck Panel at e.g. Kuststoffplattenonline (they offer the service for some more european countries, just look at their footer)
- i choosed that service, as i can upload the dxf for production
Assembly
- insert the heat inserts into the gasspring holders
- bolt on the round metal gasspring holder with the M3x8 BHCS screws
- bolt them to the rear of the frame with the M5x10 BHCS
- disassemble your bottom deck plate
- bolt on the printbed stabilitzer, more to the rear, mind the space for e.g. a nevermore
- bolt on the printbed handle
- bolt on the joint connectors
- flip the howl deck assembly and assemble the gasspring holders (the hinge balls should look totwards the outside of the bed) °-| |-°
- don't fully tighten the screws for the deck gasspring holders
- add the deck spacers
- bolt on the new bottom deck plate with the deck screw plates and the M3x16 BHCS screws
- don't tighten them too much, as the screw plates will flex
- bolt the bed assembly with the joint connectors into the printer
- use some zip ties, cord, wire, whatever you have to keep the bed in an upright position
- insert the gasprings into their holders
- you might have to open the retainers a bit with a screwdriver
- align the gassprings, so they will push straight
- now use a ballhead screwdriver to fully tighten the screws of the deck gasspring holders
- remove the bed retainer (zipties, cord, whatever) and slowly close the bed
- insert some M5x16 BHCS into the bed handle
- you are done
