## First Voron Build: Stock v0.2 + Mini Bento Box
I based my first Voron v0.2 build on a [Siboor Kit](https://www.siboor.com/product/siboor-voron-0-2-r1-3d-printer-kit-color-frame-color-abs-parts/), which includes all necessary printed parts. I could have printed the parts in ASA on my X1C, but I decided to take a shortcut by buying the printed parts.
I'm keeping things mainly stock for the initial build, with one exception: I've added the Mini Bento Box mod. The Siboor kit also had several mods included:
- **Kirigami sheet metal bracket** – Sturdier than the version based on extrusions
- **RGB indicator in the front panel**
- **75W bed heater**
- **Umbilical breakout toolboard**
- **Polycarbonate panels**
- **TZ-V6 hotend**
## Planned Upgrades
Once the initial build is complete and tuned, I plan to add the following hardware upgrades:
- **Bondtech LGX Lite Extruder** – A lightweight, high-precision extruder with excellent filament control.
- **Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W/BTT SKR Pico** – I'm going to replace the Fly Gemini V3 that comes with the Siboor Kit with a more standard hardware combination.
- **[Fizzy's Tech Panel Clips](https://www.printables.com/model/933648-ft-panel-clips-for-voron-v0v01v02)** – Quickly remove and replace the panels
- **[Build Plate Stops](https://www.printables.com/model/637251-voron-02-build-plate-stop)** – Orient the build plate faster and more reliably
- **Silicone Bed Leveling Mounts** – Replace the stock bed springs
- **Dragon Burner Tool Head** – I am standardizing all my printers on Dragon Burner
After the printer is proven and stable, I'll add these mods. I'll also wait until [[Helium]] is up and running, so I always have a working Voron.
## Using the First Printer to Build the Second
After the Hydrogen is tuned, I'll print parts for a second Voron v0.2 build, which I've named [[Helium]]. This second printer will serve as a testbed and a production machine, allowing me to experiment without taking the original machine offline.
Once [[Helium]] is up and running, I'll complete the upgrades on the original printer with the LGX Lite and X1C hotend.
## Current State
After the initial build and tuning, I was able to print successfully for about 76 hours. After that, I started to experience significant layer shifts. I've checked everything possible non-destructively. At this point, I'm going to tear down and rebuild the entire XY motion system.
