Compared to the majority of consumer-grade 3D printers, there are a couple of things that make Voron printers stand out. Firstly, they use the CoreXY motor setup, and secondly, they use Klipper firmware. Let’s take a look at what this means.
All Voron printers use CoreXY motor configuration (except the Switchwire which uses CoreXZ, but this is just CoreXY rotated 90 degrees). To understand what this means, first, let’s quickly look at the alternative, which is usually Cartesian configuration. In Cartesian printers, each motor controls the motion in one axis. So, to move the print head in the X axis, you run the X axis motor. There may be two motors on a single axis, but each motor is only ever attached to a single axis.
