Trident 外壳概述 — 与 V2.4 的主要区别
Trident和V2.4在相同构建体积(250mm或300mm)下共享相同的外部框架尺寸,但内部布局不同,因此对封闭结构的需求也有所差异:
- Z 床体通道: The Trident's Z motors mount below the bed plate in a Z motor block assembly. This means the entire bed weight and all three Z steppers are in the lower portion of the frame. The V2.4 has Z motors mounted on top of the gantry, which gives more clearance below. For the Trident, you need easy access to the Z motors for belt tensioning, repairs, and maintenance — which means the bottom and back panels need to be accessible or removable.
- 布线: The Trident has three Z motor cables exiting the bottom of the frame, plus the bed heater and thermistor cables. This cluster of wiring at the bottom-rear needs careful strain relief and routing to avoid pinching between panels or interfering with the Z bed movement.
- Z型链条 The Trident uses a shorter Z-chain than the V2.4 because the bed moves in Z rather than the gantry. This changes how you route cables and where the chain anchor points are located.
- 工具头间隙: The top panel clearance differs slightly because the Trident doesn't have a moving gantry — the toolhead stays at a fixed Z height relative to the top of the frame. This simplifies top panel design (no gantry interference) but means the top panel must be removable or hinged for toolhead access.
250mm和300mm Trident尺寸的面板尺寸
Trident 框架使用 2020 型材。面板嵌入框架槽中,通过面板夹或压入式装饰条固定。以下是精确的面板尺寸:
| 面板 | Trident 250mm | Trident 300mm | 厚度 | 笔记 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 左 / 右 | 326毫米 x 370毫米 | 376mm x 400mm | 3-5mm | 全侧面板 |
| 返回 | 326毫米 x 370毫米 | 376mm x 400mm | 3-5毫米 | 通常为便于访问而进行改装 |
| 底部 | 326毫米 x 326毫米 | 376mm x 376mm | 3-5mm | 对Z轴电机的访问至关重要 |
| 顶部 | 326毫米 x 326毫米 | 376mm x 376mm | 3-5mm | 固定式或铰链式 |
| 前门(铰链式) | 326毫米 x 370毫米 | 376mm x 400mm | 3-5毫米 | 250mm宽 = 更宽敞的门 |
| Z-Access(底部后置改装) | 150mm x 200mm | 180毫米 x 220毫米 | 3毫米 | 底部面板上的切口 |
面板厚度选项:3mm(轻便,适用于Trident)、4mm(重量与刚性平衡良好)、5mm(较重但非常坚固,可减少振动)。多数制作者选择3mm或4mm聚碳酸酯或亚克力。推荐使用PC而非亚克力——其抗冲击性更强,且不会因过度拧紧而开裂。
独特Trident挑战:Z轴床体通道
Trident的三Z电机组件位于热床下方,安装在前部和后部Z支撑之间的底部2020型材上。这是设计外壳时最重要的考量——你需要接触这些电机以进行皮带张紧、Z轴校准和维护。
选项1:全尺寸底部面板(可拆卸)
最简单的方法:标准底板,四角用内六角螺丝固定到T型螺母上。需要接触Z轴时,拆下全部8颗螺丝,底板即可自由脱落。这是Voron的默认设计,若无需频繁操作则效果良好。使用M5x8mm内六角螺丝和M5滚入式T型螺母。在底板边缘加装密封泡沫胶带,防止底部气流进入。
选项2:Z-Access门(底部面板开孔)
更实用的方法:在Z电机模块正下方的底板开一个检修门。该门通常为150x200mm(250mm Trident)或180x220mm(300mm Trident),位置需与Z电机安装区域对齐。此门可:
- 铰链式 — Piano hinge on one edge, magnetic latch on the opposite edge. Best for frequent access.
- 螺丝固定 — 4-6 M3 screws into heatset inserts. Cleaner look, less risk of air leaks.
- 磁性 — Embedded magnets in the bottom panel with corresponding magnets in the door. Quick tool-less access, but sealing is more difficult.
选项3:下拉式Z轴电机支架改装
一些社区改装将Z轴电机模块移至延伸至底部框架型材下方的下拉式支架上。这样无需拆卸任何面板即可完全接触电机。代价是:打印机高度增加30-50毫米,且电机更易积灰。在Voron用户改装库中搜索"Trident dropped Z mounts"。如果你计划频繁调整Z轴皮带,或正在构建大尺寸Trident机型,这将是个绝佳选择。
选项4:后板接入
一些建造者会在背板底部开一个与Z轴电机区域对齐的切口。结合底板检修口,这样你就能同时触及Z轴皮带张紧器(Z轴模块后部)和电机接线(底部)。背板切口还有助于Z轴电机线的布线。
前门配置
Trident的前门比V2.4更宽,因为框架使用相同的2020型材,但门开口位于两个前Z轴型材之间。在250mm的Trident上,门宽约250mm,明显比V2.4的门开口更宽敞,便于进行调平、取件和维护操作。
- 把手放置: Center-mount handles are standard. Because the door is wider, you have room for a proper handle rather than a simple pull tab. Aluminum bar handles or 3D-printed handles work well. Place the handle at approximately 200mm from the top of the door (chest height for most users when seated).
- 铰链: A continuous piano hinge on the left side is the most common and reliable setup. Use 0.5m of stainless steel piano hinge, cut to length. Three separate cabinet hinges also work but require precise alignment.
- 磁吸门扣: Install a strong neodymium magnet (10mm x 5mm, N52 grade) on the right side, with a corresponding steel plate on the door frame. This keeps the door sealed during printing but allows easy opening.
- 密封: Use adhesive-backed foam weatherstripping along the door frame (not the door itself). 5x3mm foam strip creates a good seal without requiring excessive force to close.
三Z电机线缆布线
Trident的三根Z轴电机线缆从框架底部靠近Z轴电机模块处引出。正确布线可防止线缆干扰Z轴床体运动、避免被面板夹住,并确保应力释放。以下是正确操作方法:
- 退出路径: Route all three Z motor cables out through a single cutout in the bottom panel or the lower back panel. A 25x25mm or 30x30mm cable pass-through provides enough space.
- 应力释放: Use printed cable clips or adhesive cable tie mounts near the motor connectors. The cables should have 3-5cm of slack between the motor connector and the strain relief point to prevent tension on the JST connectors.
- 组合套装: Bundle the three Z motor cables together with spiral wrap or braided sleeving up to the pass-through point. Beyond the pass-through, separate them to the driver board. This keeps the cable management clean and prevents individual cables from catching on the Z bed or frame.
- 热床/热敏电阻线缆: Route these separately from the Z motor cables to reduce electrical noise on the thermistor signal. The bed cables exit from the bed itself (front or side of the bed plate) and should go directly to the pass-through without crossing the Z motor cables.
- Z endstop 线缆: The Trident uses a single Z endstop (usually on the left rear Z support). Route this cable along the bottom frame extrusion with cable clips, exiting near the other Z cables.
Z-Chain 与 V2.4 的差异
Trident的Z链将电缆从热床连接到电子舱。由于热床沿Z轴移动(而非龙门架),Z链比V2.4的更短,安装方式也不同。
- 链条长度: Trident 250mm Z-chain: approximately 400-450mm. Trident 300mm Z-chain: approximately 500-550mm. This is roughly 40% shorter than a V2.4's Z-chain.
- 锚点: One end of the Z-chain mounts to the bed carriage (moving end), the other mounts to the bottom frame extrusion or an L-bracket near the electronics bay (fixed end).
- 线缆松弛: With a shorter chain, cable management is tighter. Use smaller-diameter cables (20-22 AWG for Z motors, 20 AWG for bed heater) to maintain flexibility. Pre-curve the cables in the chain path before final assembly to ensure they don't bind at any Z height.
- 链条方向: The Z-chain typically opens toward the back of the printer. This keeps the cables away from the front door area and makes them easier to access from the rear for maintenance.
顶板 — 固定式 vs 铰链式
Trident的顶板可以是固定式或铰链式,具体取决于您需要接触工具头的频率:
- 固定顶部面板: Simplest option. The panel sits flush on the top frame extrusions, held in place by panel clips or press-fit trim. To access the toolhead, you remove the panel (requires removing all clips). Best for builders who don't frequently change nozzles or work on the toolhead.
- 铰链式顶板: A lithium hinge (found on most Voron build plates) or standard hinge on the back edge of the top panel. Lift the front edge to access the toolhead. The hinge must clear the top panel's seal — use a hinge with 1-2mm lift clearance. A gas strut or printed prop arm keeps the panel open. Best for frequent toolhead maintenance.
- 顶盖改装: A riser extension (50-100mm tall) that sits between the top frame extrusions and the top panel. This increases Z height clearance for tall prints. The top-hat can have its own hinged or sliding top panel. For the Trident, a top-hat is particularly useful if you want to print taller objects without modifying the Z belt system.
面板材料推荐
| 材料 | 优点 | Cons | 成本 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 聚碳酸酯(PC) | 抗冲击,耐温140°C,透明,易于切割 | 容易刮花,比亚克力贵 | $$ |
| 亚克力(PMMA) | 便宜、清晰、易切割、刚性 | 脆性(受力易裂),耐温性较差(最高80°C) | $ |
| 中空阳光板 | 出色的隔热性能,轻便 | 不清晰,更难清洁,刚性较差 | $ |
| 铝塑复合板(ACM) | 刚性、耐温、专业外观 | 贵,不清晰,重 | $$$ |
建议: 4mm polycarbonate for all panels. It offers the best balance of clarity, impact resistance, and temperature tolerance. If budget is tight, 3mm acrylic works but be careful not to overtighten panel clips — acrylic cracks easily under stress. For the bottom panel (which doesn't need to be clear), 3mm aluminum composite or twin-wall PC provides better durability and insulation.
ABS打印的密封处理
适当密封的腔体对于稳定的ABS打印至关重要。Trident的腔体需保持45-60°C,以减少气流并防止翘曲。关键密封点:
- 面板边缘: Use 3x5mm adhesive-backed foam weatherstripping on the frame channels where panels contact the extrusions. This seals the panel-to-frame gap and reduces vibration transmission.
- 前门: Foam seal around the entire door frame. Ensure the door seals completely when closed — even a 1mm gap causes drafts that lead to ABS warping on large parts.
- 底部面板: Critical seal — drafts from below cool the Z motors and create a temperature gradient in the chamber. Use a thicker seal (5x8mm) on the bottom panel since it sees the most wear from panel removal.
- 电缆穿线孔: Seal cable exit holes with silicone putty, grommets, or 3D-printed cable glands. A 25mm hole without sealing creates a significant air leak.
- 顶面板: If hinged, add foam seal to the hinge-side frame edge. If fixed, standard foam tape on all four edges.
- Nevermore 过滤器: The Nevermore carbon filter should be mounted inside the chamber near the top for optimal air circulation. For the Trident, the Nevermore mounts well on the left or right side panel, mid-height, using printed brackets. Alternatively, mount it on the bottom panel (left or right of the Z motor block) for a cleaner look, but air circulation is slightly less efficient.

Z 皮带张紧配件
Trident的Z轴皮带从Z电机模块向上延伸至框架顶部的Z惰轮,再向下连接至床架。皮带张紧器集成在Z电机安装座中。要调节皮带张力,需接触Z电机模块底部的皮带锚点位置。设计底板或Z轴检修门时,请确保其开口与这些张紧器位置对齐。经验法则:Z轴检修开口应在Z电机模块四周各延伸20mm,以便留出工具操作空间。
腔室排气解决方案
ABS打印会产生需要排出的烟雾。Trident的排气解决方案选项:
- 后部面板排气: A 80mm or 120mm hole in the back panel with a mounted exhaust fan and duct to a window or ventilation system. This is the cleanest solution and works with standard Trident panel dimensions.
- 侧面板排气: An exhaust fan mounted on the left or right panel, near the top. Ducting connects to a flexible hose that routes to a window. The side position keeps the exhaust path short and efficient.
- Nevermore 过滤器(仅限,无外部排气): A Nevermore carbon filter recirculates and filters chamber air. This works well for small to medium print volumes but doesn't replace external venting for large prints or extended sessions. Many Trident builders use a Nevermore + external exhaust combo — the Nevermore runs during printing to absorb VOCs, and the exhaust fan runs briefly after the print finishes to clear the chamber.
- 过滤器放置: Mount the Nevermore on the inside of the left or right side panel at approximately mid-height (200mm from the bottom). Use the printed Nevermore 2.1 or Nevermore 5 brackets designed for the Trident's panel clip pattern. The inlet side should face down toward the bed, the outlet side up toward the top of the chamber for optimal circulation.
逐步组装外壳
- 首先将所有面板夹安装到框架型材上(每侧面板8个夹子,顶部/底部各6个)。保持略微松动。
- 安装带有Z轴检修门或全可拆卸方式的底板。在放置底板前,在底部框架型材上添加泡沫密封条。
- 在密封底部面板前,将Z轴电机线缆、热床加热线缆和热敏电阻线缆穿过底部面板。安装应力消除夹。
- 安装预先开好穿线孔的背板。将线缆穿过穿线孔,并用密封圈或密封胶泥进行密封。
- 安装侧面板。如果使用Nevermore过滤器,请先将其安装在一块侧面板的内侧,再将面板固定到框架上。
- 安装Z轴拖链并布线工具头线缆。确保拖链在其全行程范围内自由移动。
- 安装前门,安装铰链和磁吸扣。测试关闭时密封是否完整。
- 安装顶板(固定式或铰链式)。若为铰链式,请测试铰链能否顺畅开启,且不与相邻面板产生卡滞。
- 拧紧所有面板卡扣。在剩余缝隙处(尤其是面板相接的角落)加贴泡沫密封胶带。
- 测试外壳密封性:将热床加热至100°C并保持30分钟,检查腔室是否达到并稳定在50-60°C,且任何位置均无显著温度下降。
常见外壳设计错误需避免
- 忘记Z轴访问: Building a fully enclosed Trident without a Z-access panel is the #1 mistake. You will need to adjust Z belts. Plan for it before you install the bottom panel.
- 线缆被夹: Z motor cables caught between the bottom panel and the frame are a common issue. Always route cables through a dedicated pass-through, not between the panel and the extrusion.
- 亚克力面板拧得过紧: Acrylic cracks when compression from panel clips is uneven. Use 4mm PC instead, or use rubber gaskets between clips and acrylic to distribute pressure.
- 密封不充分: Small gaps around cable pass-throughs or at panel corners cause temperature gradients that wreck ABS prints. Seal everything, then seal it again.
- 电子元件过热: The Trident's electronics are in the bottom-rear of the frame — one of the hottest areas in the chamber during long prints. Ensure your electronics bay has adequate cooling (dedicated intake fan, heatsinks on drivers).
- Z 皮带张紧(无需接触) Placing the bottom panel without aligning the Z-access door to the belt tensioners. Measure twice, cut once.
