+100 or more.

I bought a voron trident, $1300 + ship, 3 years ago? Carton all smashed 
to hell but no empty pockets for parts. Did not say 'kit" anyplace in 
description. Got all the major hardware, but only 25% of the plastic, 
getting the printable files was always missing about half, after 6 
months they quit responding so I gave up, it may at some point be a 
printer but it will be me designing and subbing good parts if and when 
using their frame and bed. Depends on whether I find a need for a 
printer that small.
