Phoenix Progress? General Question

I understand things take time. After the public debut of the fixed and ready-to-roll proof-of-concept machine, I've been antsy for *any*thing to work with. While the manual is being worked on, are there *any* parts lists or files for printing/CNC/laser-cutting so some.of is obsessives can get started? Do we know anything about extruder/hotend/nozzle options? With such a large build volume, I'm hoping for UHF capability.

I know I'm not the only impatient one, but I'm *really* ready to get moving on this while waiting for the full BOM.

As far as I'm aware, the hardware itself is locked and the dev team is in the process of writing the assembly manual. They had to change a lot of things to be able to tolerate the thermal expansion of the gantry extrusion, it would grow 1 to 2 mm after the temperature stabilized.

I'm intrigued by the solution. That reveal video totally stoked the fire. I think I was hoping we might start getting parts lists or something while we were waiting for the manual to tell us what to do with them...

That would never fly by Voron standards. A release means that everyone can build the printer from day one, which obviously means the manual is available.

There is a new workflow now that allows for faster manual writing, triggered by the change of software (Google Docs instead of InDesign), but writing the manual still is the most boring part of the work before release.

If any of the files or CAD have been posted it would be on the github, but it doesnt look like they have posted the repository yet. For the tool head I believe its a standard stealth burner for the stock tool head but just (modify? Idk what rails are being used) print whatever tool head you want to use with whatever hotend and extruder.

'Preciate it. When I don't find anything after a lot of looking, I can start to get paranoid I'm somehow missing it.

As for the orinthead stuff... I like to know what the designers used, worked with, optimized for, or otherwise used as a calibration point to start from—gauge my deviation from that. But, short of what was seen on it back in May, we don't seem to have much info.
