Bodean here from North Carolina! No I'm not a Duke fan or Tarheel fan, lol. I'm retired and I just started this hobby about two months ago. I have a MK4, P1S, SV08, and a Centari Carbon  on the way. Also currently trying to decide if I'm building a Trident or 2.4 or maybe both then a zero. Definitely looking forward to the build though. Appreciate this site and the whole Voron community, makes things much less complicated.

Welcome. As @claudermilk hinted - you're hooked. (Well we have that in common) I started with the Reality clan (Ender3, Ender5 and Ender 5 Plus) Then wanted muticolor printing and got a CRX (dual extruder, single hottend) Read about CoreXY printers and decided I want one. Not knowing much - I went out and bought a TronXy 5XA. Modded the printers to the extreme but decided I still did not have a true COREXY. The Voron journey started. Looked at the BOM, could not decide what to build and self sourced parts for a V2.4, Trident, Switchwire and a V0.1. Needless to say - built them all. Then I decided I need to see if ordering a kit is better/cheaper - Along came another V2.4 and Trident, Trizero, Boxzero. And the Tronxy - It is now an all metal VZBOT AWD. 

Not forgetting the desire for multicolour - started down that rabitthole and it soon became a deep burrow. ERCF v1, ERCF Community addition (x2), Tradrack (x2), Self sourced Box Turtle and just completed a LDO kit Box turtle. 

Getting the gist of "escalated quickly"?  But it was all very enjoyable and satisfactorily and I hope your journey will be too.

Welcome again, and please consider a build diary for your projects.

We can all count on @mvdveer to build whatever new project comes along. He's an addict. 😜

I'm not as bad. I went from being aware of 3d printing and that it was really difficult and fiddly to get anything to finding out about the Prusa and Voron (among others) in the same weekend. I jumped in with a Prusa Mini kit, and the moment that was complete I started looking at sourcing a Trident.

I think the Trident would be the easiest Voron to start with. The V0 is smaller, but because of that the build is fiddly and finicky.
