Do:
- Film the printer printing, bay closed, with a handwritten sheet showing your Reddit username and date.
- Post it to r/voroncorexy as a serial request.
- Print it in accent ASA and bolt it to the front top rail:
venv-cq/bin/python scripts/nameplate.py --serial V2.xxxx --names "Alex & Helper" --date 2026-12-20
Check
A serial like V2.1234 arrives, and the plate is on the front top rail, clear of the closed door (verify on bench).
Helper Reads the serial back from the post and checks every character on the printed plate.
What you're looking at
Voron serials are issued by the community, not a vendor: mods on the r/voroncorexy subreddit review a video of a finished machine and reply with yours. The nameplate carrying it is the first print made for the machine itself.
Caution
The request goes on the subreddit, and the machine has to be finished: cables managed above the deck plate, electronics separated from the chamber, bay covered. Your Reddit username and the date must be handwritten and in shot. Discord username is optional now, and its old 4-digit tag is no longer required.
Tip
the subreddit's nameplate bot posts a generic serial plate when your serial lands. This one is ours: front top rail, two M3 T-nuts, blue accent. src
Good stopping point · ~20 min since the last one
the serial request is posted and the nameplate generated. The plate mounts on the front top rail because the skirt ring covers the front bottom rail and the front uprights are 20 mm wide; do not bolt anything to the left upright, which carries the door hinges.
