Wow, this video must have taken a really long time to make. Not only did you assemble the printer first and then disassembled it again for the video. But all the close up shots, the constant repositioning of the camera for the best angle. Not to mention having to rebuild the hot end, and troubleshoot the z height issue. And your brother did a fantastic job editing the video as well. Never missed a beat to highlight every step along the way. Fantastic work you two.

WOW! Just stumbled upon your channel whilst searching for the Sappier +, and i must comment on your style of presenting..........This is the standard all assembly, review and first print other KZfaqrs should adhere too! Brilliant!! Clear, Concise, Detailed, and presented in a way noobs and the more experienced 3d'ers can understand and enjoy. All ready love you and subscribed, not going to miss anymore of your 3d Vids.

Many, many thanks for these Sapphire PLus Videos Part 1 and Part 2!!!! Finally someone who knows about this printer!!!!! Two very intensive and professional videos, made by people who have a lot of knowledge and love for the detail!!!!! I will now often watch your idea of videos with great interest and joy!!!!! Thank you very much again!!! Kind regards: Werner from Germany!

Thank you! Best video for Sapphire Plus !

This is the best 3d printer build video I've ever seen!

good engineering training: "check the voltages." "don't tightening all the way yet" ! good job !!

Awesome!!, Best assembly video I've seen for Saphire 3d printer.!!

Great job, thanks for that! This is really the first vid I found where the installation / connection of the probe is explained in such detail. Nice job, you have a new subscriber :) I'm really looking forward to your next video!

Great how-to video. I assembled my Sapphire Plus watching your instructions exclusively. I had both wires broken in the harness on the X limit switch 4 inches from the hotend. Keep up the great work. Dan

The kit I just got from Amazon has quite a few differences. The belt came affixed already, the Z screw nuts have oldham style connections so the screw can move freely(I almost think taking the top bearing out after assembly may help) helping eliminate Z banding. My bags are labeled differently and my Z axis motors are coupled together with a belt(I love this) but it has no adjustment so it will likely need one as the belt loosens up which I'll print and use a skate bearing for tension. Mine has only one endstop which is a lot easier. The bed also came with lattice glass and no bltouch included(here I use geetech v3.2 for $11 each shipped). My heated bed has wires soldered directly(very poor job and no constraint so it was weak out of box--one of my big gripes) with XT90 connectors which I like but again the connection point at the bed needs strain relief. My hotend also leaked out of box so I am rebuilding the entire thing with a dragon. There also seems to be some sort of intermittent connection to the hotend thermistor so thats probably gonna be replaced as well. Overall this is a great machine and the factory seems to really want to improve it. The linear rails are hiwin-esque and perfectly smooth through the travel with zero slop. I have MGN12s and HGR15s from ebay and they are nothing alike. I did have a small issue with one carriage where some rubber flashing was catching against the face of the rail and a quick swipe with xacto and it was fixed but this goes to show the tolerances are super tight. I think the Z will be changed to single stepper with belt drive but the stock configuration is really impressive.

It is just amazing. Really excelent work! Thanks to you I think that I found to fix the problems with the leveling!! Everything clear and really well explained! Let see what you will be able when you will grow up!

Wish I'd have watched this in it's entirety before assembling mine. Got it together, but it took a few tries to get the corner extrusions in the right place.

What an excellent tutorial. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. Off now to watch more of your content.

at last I solved the problem by placing a PEI plate. Wonderfull magnatic stuff....

Very clear, detailed and helpful video. Thank you for taking the time to clearly explain so many issues with this set up. Appreciated!

This is the best "assemble your Sapphire Plus" video that I have found (and I have seen lots). It is also the one that convinced me to buy a Sapphire Plus and I'm currently following the steps laid out here to assemble it ... but I'm hitting some concerns/questions. As a noob in corexy I have no idea how "smoothly" those linear rails are supposed to run and how to lubricate them. In your video you seem to have a huge can of super-lube, but I only have the small tube that came with the printer. How much to put on the rails and where (in the groove?)? Other videos mention completely taking apart, cleaning and lubricating the carriages of the linear rails, but I don't feel up to that. Now on the z-axis (bed not yet mounted) the separate rails seem ok, but the pre-assembled top seems to bind a bit on the Y rails. The good news is that this is consistent over the entire Y axis, so I think this means the rails are parallel, but that the x gantry mounted on them is pushing apart or pulling them together. I tried loosening the x gantry a bit and then indeed things moved much more easily in Y, but as soon as I re-tighten the bolts, it becomes pretty "stiff" again. Then after adding the belts, things also take more force to move than I had expected (i.e. more than moving the bed or x gantry on my Ender 3). Is this normal and if not, any tips what to do about it?

Thermistor can be easily fixed and replace, see at 10:13, there is a screw for the thermistor cartridge on the left and another one for the temperature sensor below the nozzle :) However, this is a really nice video that helped me to build mine. Thank you !

agree with marcus best assembly video of this printer thanks for your efforts and clear instructions

Great job, a note to the angle brackets at 11:31 : they have holes instead of slots, the head of bolt has about the same diameter as the hole and get stuck in the hole and nothing is fixed.

Fantastic video. Thank you!

As a sapphire plus owner, I feel you. This thing was a nightmare at first. I just ended up getting a really flat bed and skipped autoleveling altogether. Though, I would like to get klipper running on it. And totally replace the part cooling, as these fans just don't really blow on the part at all, the air flow is totally out of the way of any freshly extruded plastic.

Thanks young lady. Very well done! You’vr earned a subscriber 👍

What if you have a newer crtouch or bl3.1 which has a single plug. is where a way to just plug in a single plug without it being split up?

Great video, very clearly explained. Sapphire Pro

Thank you for your excellent work!

You know, I've had this printer for several months, and haven't been able to get it working, primarily because I haven't been able to find any good instructions on the build, and some of the issues that come up. I was missing the same parts, had the same short cable, and thought, since this is my first attempt at building a 3D printer, it must have been me. Mine had a bad thermistor, and it took 2 months to get a replacement. (Actually, you can get it out. there is a tiny set screw hiding at the bottom of the hole that lines up with the thermistor. For some reason the top of the hole isn't threaded, but the bottom is. It's the same size set screw that they use to hold the heater cartridge in place. Nobody has made a build video that comes close the explaining things as well as this one. I have hopes of figuring this out now. (although I'm not quite sure how updating the firmware parameters work, but I'll hopefully get that figured out shortly). Thanks SO MUCH.

when trying to home the bed, the bed would not stop rising even when touching the z axis endstop, any solutions to this problem?

you should maybe switch the hotend, mine had realy bad heatcreep. I tried some mounts and finaly found one that keeps all the printspace and uses a E3D V6 with propper cooling, so printing in PLA is now decent. only issue is that I don't have a mount for the BLtouch I bought to fix the bad bed (I have a big hump in the middle). great Video and hope yours gives you less issues then mine.

Good job 👍

And the glass is creality LoL

Hello Aurora. Hello Aurora. Could you provide this Marlin with the corrections please.

I have a question about Marlin Compiling when I install Marlin on my machine it stops compiling halfway What does it mean

Do you have a ready made firmwarefile for the stock SP-5 with BL-Touch ? I tried to follow your description but it did not work at all so now im looking for a precompiled firmwarefile for me to install.

Hello Aurora and Brother, Awesome videos and very good teaching all around. After a series of test prints the print bed does not hold any of the standard filament. So I tried some other filament, nothing sticks to the glass bed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the answer.

What hotend do you recommend to install on this printer that's direct drop in?

Would you consider a review on the Flsun SR

Does that still a good purchase for a core xy printer?

Have a little weird question for you :-) If you have a corexy laser running marlin how will you then connect a Rotary Roller on as it does not use the Y axis in the same way. has searched everywhere but can not find anyone who can maybe you know It 🙂

She is the future

Bonjour Madame, s'il vous plaît comment réinitialiser mon imprimante sp-5?

Hi, I'm already looking out for a 3d printer with some decent print dimensions. Preferably corexy with linear guides. That's why my attention is already some time on this two trees sp5. But I also see bad reviews. The other option is ender 5 plus. But that's no corexy or linear guided... I have a budget around 750€. So both printers are in range with some space for upgrades. Two trees sp5 + upgrades OR Ender 5 plus conversion to corexy... Which would be the better option? Thank you for your reply

It’s a very interesting printer…

How do you feel about these printers at their current price of $479.99 before tax?

Hi Aurora, have you published the support for the filament sensor? If so, where? Thank you very much for your awesome work and best regards from Argentina

Can you supply your start and finish gcode that youre using?

Do you have any pics of how you solved the wires around the print head being to close to the heater block

What a wonderful video! very nicely done. thank you! Subscribed and liked! Do you have any links to where you purchased?

I wonder how many issues you would find with the Tronxy x5sa

Does this it prints better than ender/cr6 other cartensians?

Now I have just received such a machine and can say it has almost only been with all the small flaws even though the prices have risen sharply. Missing screws and contacts etc. bent bottom plate lead swre plate bent, 1½-2mm skewed frame, software that does not work completely and nuts etc. must be tightened after, poor possibility of leveling the plate massaging the glass plate. So it's doubtful that Twotrees does anything to improve, really a shame because those are small things we talk about to have a really good product, so you want to buy one then take and decide to test it first or buy something else

Wow

great video very detailed.. followed you instruction to a tee but now my y end stops are not working.. i have a creativity ELF it has the same mother board as the printer you you were working . can you please help me get marlin together for my printer..

is this version 1.0 or 2.1

Hello, can you tell me where you bought the 3D touch?

Hello, your kit bring the bltouch, or you buy one?

It is not a beginner friendly printer unless you really want to learn about 3d printers rather than using it for personal reasons

What verison is it?

i love her for good video

Thank you, you convinced me of not buying this printer.
