If you are a budget minded Voron 0.2 builder, this video may be for you! This kit retails for $469, and includes everything you need- rails, extrusions, parts, motors, mcu/controller, bearings, fasteners, hot end, and even 3d printed parts! At the time of this video, it is unusual for kits to be complete.

Is this kit any good? I am cautiously optimistic. Based on the unboxing, you will have to decide! I will be showing the build and putting it through the paces in a future video. My goal is to help raise awareness for this brand and kit, which I think (if all goes well) could be a great new option for getting into a budget Voron 0.2 build.
This kit does stray a bit from being a 100% "stock" build, according to the Voron 0.2 manual, but it is VERY close. The most significant place it is different as far as I can tell, is the control board. The stock Voron 0.2 recommends a Raspberry Pi + a SKR Pico. This includes an alternative board that performs both the compute and the mcu function, all in one, by using the Mellow Fly Gemini v3. I have never tried this board before but I have heard positive things about it. I am looking forward to trying it out and will definitely provide feedback in future videos.

Thanks for watching!Build Tutorial for the TD-1 KIT By Ajax3d: Detect Filament Hex Color & Transmission DistanceGregs Maker Corner2024-04-13 | The TD-1 is a revolutionary device, developed by Ajax 3d, that allows you to instantly determine the transmission distance (TD) and hex color code of your filament. This is very helpful if you are using software like Hueforge, which allows you to do "filament painting". In the Hueforge, you specify both TD and Hex code and "mix" colors. This tool will allow you to get very accurate colors very easily, as opposed to relying on other more manual or time consuming methods (light boxes, test swatches, etc).
I paid full price for my kit, and have also been a Patreon of Ajax3d and this project because I think it's a fantastic idea and wanted to support the efforts.
If you are in the USA, get your kit for $40, or fully assembled unit using my affiliate link below from West3d- use this link and/or code GREGSMAKERCORNER for 5% off):
Fully assembled units may also be purchased for $80. Self-sourcing is also an option, but may end up being more expensive and difficult to assemble. You can learn more about the different options, including Ajax 3d's Patreon here: ajax-3d.com
See this page for a list of all resellers (international as well): ajax-3d.com/resellers
The TD-1 is also integrated with Hueforge. Connect the TD-1 to your computer, open Hueforge, and insert filament and you'll be able to use the readings. I may create future content on this.
The Micron Plus is designed by Hartk, a member of the Voron Design Team. The Micron is not an official Voron project, but it is a very popular "mod" and falls under the umbrella of "Printers for Ants". See the github link for the manual, printed parts, and more information!
Disclosure: I paid full price for this kit, but West3D included several upgrades to help support my channel and showcase them! A big thanks to them for helping sponsor my project.

gregsmakercorner.com#gregsmakercorner #newwebsite #workbench #3dprinting #bambulab #voronGregs Maker Corner2024-01-13 | It's 2024, and I have high high hopes for the future! I launched a new web site, gregsmakercorner.com - be sure to check it out! I highlight a lot of my content, making it easy to find videos on topics like 3d printer reviews, 3d printer builds including Voron 0.2, Voron 0.1, VzBot, and Voron 2.4 to name a few! I also have reviews and initial impressions on consumer 3d printers like the Bambu A1 Mini, which I think is a great option for anyone wanting to get into the hobby. Thanks for watching!Headamame V2 DIY Headphones- Amazing Sound and Easy Build!Gregs Maker Corner2023-12-24 | Looking for some great headphones? Got a 3d printer? Look no further.. These Headamame V2's are some great headphones! I dare say this is my first foray into "Hi Fi" and I didn't know what I was missing until I tried these out. Music is crystal clear. I started hearing parts that I've never noticed in music before- the reverb, pedal effects on guitars, etc. These are also amazing for gaming and you can get an optional gaming microphone.
In this video I pretty much go through soup to nuts on what you need to do to build these, including info on the 3d printed parts. My video is similar to the video from the designer of the headphones, that you can also find linked below.
Filament: I recommend using AT LEAST a PETG filament- ABS or ASA would be even better if you have a way to print it. I went with PETG because I like the glossy Green Gate 3d filament- links below also.
I didn't receive any compensation or free product for this review! Nope, this is just a product I'm excited about and decided to make a video on. I bought this kit after seeing it raffled off on Joel Telling (3d printed nerd's) 2023 holiday fund raiser/raffle.
I printed all the parts on my VzBot, which was briefly shown in the video. More info on the VzBot here, including my build series: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpQnpsv1trbRPkbdpc53gmuK3JUCKimgYVoron Stealthburner Neopixel Soldering and Wiring TutorialGregs Maker Corner2023-12-03 | In this video, I walk through the steps necessary to solder the wiring to Neopixels, and to install/fit into the Stealthburner. This is the first video in a series where I am upgrading my Voron 2.4 toolhead (which was a beta Stealthburner) to the latest and greatest Stealthburner, including TAP, Neopixels, and a CAN Board (BTT EBB36). I will be walking through a full tutorial for all parts of the upgrade.
Regarding the Stealthburner / Neopixels- you can source neopixels and wiring for under $10. Or, you can spend a little more and get a premade harness. I did not have a good experience with my last harness which had several cold joints, so this time around I decided to solder it (since I had to re-solder my harness anyway).
Is this a good project for a beginner? If you are new to soldering, this may be a bit of a challenge, but I do hope this video convinces you that with the right technique and approach it's not difficult! It is very important to have a soldering iron that can get "hot enough" (I use 330C), and also a small/fine conical tip.
Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video! Check them out here: pcbway.com
Here is a link to the soldering iron that I use, the Hakko FX-888D. This is a great iron, though it is a little pricey (usually around $120). However, it should be the last iron that you will need to buy! The conical tip that it includes should be sufficient for this project.
**Note- there is also a Teensy version that I'd recommend, and the build process is very similar to the ESP32 version but does require some SMD soldering. github.com/DigiTorus86/Teensy-R4ge-ProDIY PC Build Tutorial - A Perfect Complement for 3d printing and Making!Gregs Maker Corner2023-11-11 | In this video, I show how to build a relatively straight forward, higher-end PC.
This is definitely a bit of a change of pace from my normal 3d printing content, but I thought it might be beneficial as many folks in 3d printing also use/need PC's!
If you have never built a PC before, haven't built one in a while, or are curious how I build mine, I hope that this video is helpful.
See below for detail on the parts. I spec'd out this build for a higher-end, general purpose PC that is good for gaming, development with AI tools, content creation, video editing, streaming, CAD and 3d printing.
This build cost around $2500 USD before taxes. I had a few issues, namely with the initial MSI motherboards. I received a "returned" board, and then a defective board that would not post. After the second defective board, I decided to buy an Asus board.

According to Bambu, the A1 Mini is not effected, but please keep this in mind! At this time, I don't recommend leaving your A1 Mini unattended until we have more information on this potential issue. More info here: forum.bambulab.com/t/power-lead-caught-on-fire/52110
In this video, I cover the Bambu A1 Mini. While my channel is more geared towards DIY printers (Vorons, VzBot, Hypercube Evo, etc.) I occasionally buy pre-built machines, and decided to give this one a try- and I cover my rationale a bit more in the video. This video was not sponsored, I paid full price for this unit. I did order it the day it was announced and they shipped it out very quickly.
Don't worry, I still have plenty of content planned for DIY printers! But it is a nice change of pace trying something off the shelf that is able to get reasonable results- I definitely understand a bit more of the hype now.
I ordered the "Mega combo". Get one here. This is not an affiliate link, so consider using another Youtubers link (I may look into joining their program and will update this later if so).

The power and voltage that we are working with on this printer is VERY DANGEROUS (AC/Mains at 110 or 220 depending on your country). ALWAYS double check voltage and wiring and work within your country/locales electronics rules and codes. While the wiring in my video works great for my setup USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS.
This video picks up from Part 3 and shows the remaining wiring. I also walk through installing the heated bed which I save for late in the build (since it is quite heavy!). I show how to get the CPAP fan installed. After the wiring I cover a quick highlight of imaging the Pi, compiling firmware, installing KIAUH for klipper, and then plugging in my device ID into the printer.cfg file. I don't cover all this step by step because I assume you are probably familiar with this already if you are building a VzBot.
After you get your printer up and running and configured, spend the time calibrating the rotation distance, extrusion multiplier, syncing the motors.
After getting through the basics of the build, you can complete the panels, exhaust fan, RSCS cooling, and tophat. Installing all this is pretty simple.

The VzBot is a very high end printer that is designed for raw performance and speed.
This section of the build is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately I did run into some issues where I needed to drill holes in my panels. This wasn't really a big deal and is somewhat to be expected. I believe they have already addressed the hole size issue for the power supplies for future kits.

Disclaimer: I go a little bit "off script" from the manual, but these steps worked really well for me. This video is also a bit more "brief" compared to my usual step by step approach. That is because I assume that you are already familiar with building DIY and other Core XY printers (Voron, RatRig, Annex, etc.). If you have never built a printer before, I recommend building a Voron 0 to test your skill which will also come in handy for printing ASA/ABS parts that are required for this printer.

Hardware setup: If running a nozzle that requires heat tightening (most do, except for the Revo) do the following:
Hardware Steps: USE CAUTION! DO NOT TOUCH HOT END DIRECTLY. Preheat nozzle to at least 220C Unload filament Loosen nozzle. Use a wrench to hold heat block as needed. Remove nozzle carefully. Cool down hot end (50C or less) Optional but recommended: power off Printer. Install nozzle board above nozzle, with USB side facing the bottom. Tighten nozzle, DO NOT PREHEAT. Plug USB C cable into Nozzle Board. Plug the other end of USB cable into Raspberry Pi. Power up printer. Confirm that red/green lights are lit on nozzle board.
Software steps: Follow the steps here to install all required packages. Summary of steps you need to run as shown in the video:
SSH into your Raspberry Pi.
Run the following commands, which may take several minutes to complete:
From Mainsail or Fluidd, go to your machine tab and create a file called InputShaper.cfg with the following contents:
[mcu ampon] serial: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Anchor_Ampon-if00 [adxl345] cs_pin: ampon:CS [resonance_tester] accel_chip: adxl345 accel_per_hz: 150 probe_points: 60, 60, 60 ;change to fit your build- this works well for a Voron 0
Save and open your printer.cfg file. Add the following line near the top:
[include Inputshaper.cfg]
Now Save and Restart.
From Mainsail or Fluiid, Run the command ACCELEROMETER_QUERY to confirm that you are getting values back.
Next, home the printer and run the command: TEST_RESONANCES AXIS=X followed by TEST_RESONANCES AXIS=Y which will run the Input Shaper tests for both axis.
SSH into the Pi and create the input shaper chart: ~/klipper/scripts/calibrate_shaper.py /tmp/resonances_x_*.csv -o /tmp/shaper_calibrate_x.png ~/klipper/scripts/calibrate_shaper.py /tmp/resonances_y_*.csv -o /tmp/shaper_calibrate_y.png
Copy the png to the home/pi folder (~): cd ~ cp /tmp/*.png .
Copy the file locally (works on Mac): scp pi@voron0.local:/home/pi/shaper_calibrate_y.png . scp pi@voron0.local:/home/pi/shaper_calibrate_x.png .
Use a program like WinSCP for Windows machines.
View your graphs and input the data into the [input_shaper] section of the printer.cfg based on the recommendations.
Update your max_acceleration under the [printer] section of the printer.cfg based on the values recommended.

Siboor Voron 0.2 kit (budget alternative): youtube.com/watch?v=8IIDmXFI4NgSiboor Voron 0.2 Kit Review - $469 Printer Kit! Recommended for Budget Builders, 4/5 RatingGregs Maker Corner2023-04-12 | My conclusion: If you are a budget minded Voron 0.2 builder, the Siboor kit is a great value! It retails for $469, and includes everything you need- rails, extrusions, parts, motors, mcu/controller, bearings, fasteners, hot end, power supply, panels, etc. and even 3d printed parts! At the time of this video, it is unusual for kits to be complete.
DISCLOSURE: I received this kit from Siboor at no cost. However, I was not compensated for the time I took to build, review, and create a video for (which was over 40 hours). While this kit was free, I offer my open/honest review of this kit and share with you all the issues that I ran into.
This is a follow up to my Siboor v0.2 Unboxing video. Watch it for a thorough look at the parts. youtube.com/watch?v=8IIDmXFI4Ng
**CORRECTION: I USED A DRAGONFLY BMO, NOT BMS FOR MY HOT END. (Sorry for typo).
As mentioned in the video, I used all items in the kit with the exception of the clone bondtech gear, and hot end. I preferred to use a genuine Bondtech Gear and a Dragonfly BMO hot end. Keep scrolling for links to the kit as well as the parts I used.
GET YOUR Siboor V0.2 kit here. If you are in the US, expect about a week (possibly a little more) for the kit to arrive after purchasing.
NOTES: This kit does stray a bit from being a 100% "stock" build, according to the Voron 0.2 manual, but it is quite close. The most significant difference is the control board. The stock Voron 0.2 recommends a Raspberry Pi + a SKR Pico. This includes an alternative board that performs both the compute and the mcu function, all in one, by using the Mellow Fly Gemini v3.
Thanks for watching!Voron 0.2 Build Series - Part 13 Electronics WiringGregs Maker Corner2023-03-17 | In this video I go through the process of wiring the electronics, including the SKR Pico, Raspberry Pi, Power Supply, and motors.
There are some differences in my wiring over the stock Voron 0.2, which does NOT utilize a CAN Bus toolhead or an AC bed. I chose to use these components for various reasons- CAN Bus simplifies wiring (4 wires instead of 12) and can easily be connected/disconnected. I use an AC bed because it heats up very quickly compared to a DC bed, and was "stock" when I built my original Voron 0 which is where it came from.
Please note: I plan to cover step by step installation including CAN Bus configuration as part of my Voron 0.2 build series. This will be in a future video.
Powder Coated Extrusions are from DLLPDF. These extrusions, at the time of the video are Mitsumi. They are powder coated and exactly 15mm x 15mm (the coating adds a small amount of thickness). I purchased a full v0.2 extrusion kit. dllpdf.com/v0.2

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronVoron 0.2 Build Series - CAN Bus Toolhead WiringGregs Maker Corner2023-03-12 | In this video I go through the process of wiring the CAN Bus Toolhead. I compare the Mellow Fly SHT36 V2 and the BTT EBB 36, which I ultimately ended up using. However, both boards are great and I'd recommend either one- whichever you feel most comfortable with. Hopefully my video gives you information to make a good decision.
The stock Voron 0.2 does NOT utilize a CAN Bus toolhead. This is "probably" overkill. I wanted to do it because I wanted to get some experience, and I like the idea of only running 4 wires instead of "every" wire for all the things (Thermistor, Hot End Fan, Part Fans, Heater Wiring, Motor Wiring- which is at least 12 wires). Most CAN Bus toolheads (including the ones I feature) also have a built in accelerometer that you can run any time, which is also a great feature.
Please note: I plan to cover step by step installation including CAN Bus configuration as part of my Voron 0.2 build series. This will be in a future video.

This a bit like comparing an apple to an Orange, since these are two different laser technologies / classes and also come in two very different price points. With that in mind there are also some similarities- I will cover more of this in a future video.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk! I do not guarantee any safety with this laser. Please do your own research and make sure that you fully understand and accept risks before using a Diode laser.
Blue Permatex that I used/recommend: amzn.to/3ZFRf0nPart 11. Voron 0.2 Build - Mini StealthburnerGregs Maker Corner2023-02-22 | In this video I go through the process of assembling the Mini Stealthburner, followed by installing a dragon hot end and setting it onto the Carriage. (The steps will be similar for other hot ends as well). This is a very detailed walkthrough and I try to follow just about every step in the manual. I show some tricks that I use to safely install heat inserts, using a simple bic style lighter and a long m3x40 screw.
The Mini Stealthburner is a significant improvement over the V0.1 Mini Afterburner. I was very impressed by how easy it was to install, in comparison. I think this is one of the best features of the new V0.2 and also plan to have a future video talking about performance and how well it prints.
Powder Coated Extrusions are from DLLPDF. These extrusions, at the time of the video are Mitsumi. They are powder coated and exactly 15mm x 15mm (the coating adds a small amount of thickness). I purchased a full v0.2 extrusion kit. dllpdf.com/v0.2

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronPart 10. Voron 0.2 Build - Heated Bed and Cable Chain InstallGregs Maker Corner2023-02-20 | In this video I go through the process of installing the Heated Bed into the Kirigami frame.
Since my Voron 0.2 is self sourced, I didn't have pre-cut cables. If I did this process would be a lot easier/smoother. Having said that, you just need to some minimal work of crimping to get this to all work together. I also used my original V0 AC bed- most builders will be using DC. Your process will be identical to this section of the video, but your wire colors may be different (you will probably have a black and red wire, instead of two red wires).
If you are looking for a video on how to install the magnetic bed and heated bed, I show that in my original Voron 0.1 bed install video here: youtube.com/watch?v=E91spzAy8Kg
** Also- safety first! I did not install a thermal fuse, but it's a good idea to put one on.

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronPart 9. Voron 0.2 Build - Cross Beams & Belts, Belt TensioningGregs Maker Corner2023-02-19 | This video covers finishing up the X Axis assembly (with the Cross Beams) and then the belts. The belts are one of the more challenging parts of the Voron 0.2 build. I have tried to cover all the insights I have learned through trial and error after building several Voron 0's. I do not go 100% by the manual, but pretty close. I hope some of the tips and tricks I show in the manual help you with your build.
A note on tuning the belts: Pano Tuner will help you get in the right ballpark / range for your tension. If your phone or tablet app is having a hard time picking up the frequency, try to listen to the belt as you tune it, and hum the frequency. It is important to be in the range of 110-140 hz. I wouldn't recommend going over that- loosen the tension if you are. The most important thing is getting the tension "equal" so the frequency should be the same on both belts.
It is also important to make sure you have no gaps on the back or front of the gantry, when you push it fully back or forward. If you have gaps but the frequencies are the same, you are out of square. You may need to go back to the "Squaring" section of the manual on page 119, and then retension. It is important that both belts are equal tension (frequency) with no gaps.

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronPart 8. Voron 0.2 Build - XY Joint AssemblyGregs Maker Corner2023-02-18 | This video covers the assembly of the XY Joints. Getting these parts put together can be a bit of a challenge, due to the small m2x10 screw. I found it easier to tighten the m3 screws used to hold the bearings stacks before installing the m2x10 screws.
After you install, if you have any kind of alignment or binding issues when moving the X extrusion back and forth, you may need to adjust your Y rails. To adjust, you can slightly loosen the rail screws (on the Y extrusions) and move the X extrusion back and forth, so it naturally falls into place. Once you have done this, move the X extrusion to the center and tighten the Y rails back in place.

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronPart 7. Voron 0.2 Build - Z Axis Lead Screw AssemblyGregs Maker Corner2023-02-18 | This video covers the assembly of the Z Axis Lead Screw, including the anti-backlash nut. This step can be a bit confusing for first time builders. I tried to break it down to make it as easy as possible:
1) First position all your m3 nuts and ensure that your lead screw is centered; 2) Loosen everything and install the anti-backlash nut, and tighten everything down. 3) Check that there is no binding.
If you feel any binding (where it is harder to turn the lead screw in some spots) you will need to make adjustments. At this point in the build, as long as your bed was moving OK before installing the lead screw, it may be that your lead screw is not perfectly centered between the extrusions. You may want to measure the distance from the screw to the extrusion on both sides and make adjustments. Raise the bed so that it is in the center of the printer to check the distance. Adjust the bottom screws as needed to get centered properly.
In the worst case, you may have a bent lead screw. A bent lead screw can be straightened with a bench vise, but that is beyond the scope of this video (please ask in Voron_0_qustions discord if you have this issue). It may be easier to request a replacement motor/lead screw if you run into this issue.

Voron 0.1 Discord Link: discord.com/invite/voronPart 3. Voron 0.2 Build - Kirigami Bed AssemblyGregs Maker Corner2023-02-12 | This video covers the assembly of the LDO Kirigami Bed. This is not a stock part for the Voron 0.2, but is a very common upgrade, so much so that it is even called out in the manual. The Kirigami bed offers a more rigid design that should mean less frequent bed leveling/adjusting. It can be done after a build, but I wanted to install it.
Additional Info: Christopher Mueller, the designer of the Kirigami bed is currently working on additional parts that will make the bed more compatible with the Voron 0.2. I am using a Voron 0.1 cable chain, since I did not upgrade my bottom deck. This is a minor difference/nuance but I thought it would be good to mention it. Your install (especially the cable chain parts) might be slightly different in the future.
My build was sponsored by Boxxy Prints. I did not use Boxxy's parts for this part of the build (since I made the decision after the parts were sent), but used them for everything else. Get your 3d printed parts here: boxxyprints.com/product/v0-1-printed-parts-kit/?v=0a10a0b3e53b

amzn.to/3Oqw6CQLDO Voron Trident Kit ReviewGregs Maker Corner2022-09-08 | This is a review of the LDO Voron Trident Kit. I show the printer in action and talk about the highlights as well as some minor suggestions/improvements for the kit.
Disclosure: This kit was provided to me by LDO, at a significant discount. The printed parts were sponsored by Boxxy Prints.
You will also need an ADXL345 sensor (also available from Fabreeko) for an additional $5. Buy two if you are running this on a bed slinger, like the Switchwire. fabreeko.com/products/adxl345-accelerometer?_pos=2&_sid=615810c4d&_ss=r (I am not sure if headers are soldered or not on these)
Follow along as I go through the steps of configuring the software for the Input Shaper, based on the directions provided from the creator of the Badgerbox, found here: github.com/moodytechz/PicoADXL
More Info: Under the covers the BadgerBox is a Raspberry Pi Pico that is pre-made with a nice printed part box, and with all the wiring and connectors needed for connecting an ADXL345. You just need to mount it to your toolhead, and upload the ADXL.cfg file to your Raspberry Pi running Klipper.
The benefit of the Badger Box: * Most of the hardware is done for you, you just need to connect the ADXL345 and mount it * Wiring is simple: use a USB cable to connect to the Raspberry Pi * It's very portable- easily use it on any printer with Klipper
Steps you will need to take after mounting hardware: 1. Install software dependencies (numpy, matplotlib, etc.). Mine were already installed - latest images of MainsailOS seem to come pre-configured. 2. Upload the ADXL345.cfg file, obtain the device ID of the Badger Box (Pi Pico), and include the file in your printer.cfg.

#shortsA Guide to Voron Printed Parts: Options and TradeoffsGregs Maker Corner2022-08-12 | In this video, I highlight several options for Voron Printed Parts for your Voron build.
Disclosure: This video is sponsored by BoxyPrints, who provided the printed parts to me at no charge.
In this video, I talk about the following options:
1. Buying parts 2. Using the Voron PrintItForward (PIF) Service 3. Printing your own parts
Disclosure: This board was provided to me at no cost by Big Tree Tech (BTT).
Latest Information on Make Flash- this allows you to compile and upload firmware from the Pi directly to the BTT Pico while connected over USB.
This seems to work, but I'm awaiting more guidance from BTT. After compiling the firmware with the proper settings (refer to video, and/or BTT instruction link below), run the following commands from the terminal:
sudo service klipper stop make flash FLASH_DEVICE=2e8a:0003 sudo service klipper start
Pre-Compiled Klipper.uf2 files: For a first time install, download klipper.uf2 files from BTT here and copy to the drive while connected to your PC or Mac (with USB and boot pins jumpered): github.com/bigtreetech/SKR-Pico/tree/master/Klipper

This video is the first part of a multi-video build / highlight series on the Voron Trident. I do not plan on doing a step by step build video (as those are extremely time consuming and appeal to a limited audience) but I will highlight some of my build as I go and will share that.
*** Disclosure: This kit was provided to me at a significant discount, and for the purposes of providing genuine/honest feedback to LDO before final production based on my build experiences.
***Please note: there are no "official" Voron kits, as Voron does not sell any- they recommend self sourcing. However, LDO kits are largely regarded as high quality kits and are usually quite reliable with parts and BOM. There are also other Voron Trident kits which may be very different from what I am showing here. This is specific to the LDO Motors brand kit.
*** BEFORE YOU PURCHASE **** It is very likely that the production LDO Voron Trident Kit will have some changes, and I am told it will most likely NOT include a Raspberry Pi and Hot End as I show in my video. There may be other changes as well, but I don't expect anything radically different. Before purchasing, please make sure you understand everything that is included in your kit. Feel free to provide any comments here as well.
*** Retailers Selling LDO Pre-Order Kits *** I am aware of the following retailers selling pre-order kits currently. If you know of other reputable companies / discord vendors selling Trident kits, feel free to leave a comment.
