In this video I go over my top useful upgrades for the Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro and give away a free 3D printer !
Please let me know what you think of the video and if I should do more like it (and more giveaways)!
When it comes to upgrading your 3D printer, you can really spend days even weeks looking through all the upgrades and trying to decide what to print. In reality, not all of the upgrades are useful so in this video I try and go over the ones I have found to actually help improve print quality, reduce the risk of fire and electrical problems, and improve organization and efficiency.

I printed that filament cooling ring you suggested. With it installed, I can not make any prints anymore. It cools the filament off before it hit the bed. So for now, I rate it a thumbs down and will go back to stock.

@@Daveyk021 Cooling before the filament hits the bed, I have never seen or observed this before haha. Make sure to check your printing temps and type of filament. If that fan addition had the ability to cool before the filament hits the bed I think we would see it on every single printer ever made :)

@@AustenHartley I am too new to know a good answer. I put the stock part cooler on and it started working fine again. I tried several bed temps ranging from 50-65. Using inland White PLA. Usually set it at 210, but with this I tried 210-220. It just created strings. I love the idear of that circular part cooler. It would be a big help building parts that need external supports added. I will try the shorter version again once I get a few parts printed. I am now printing that filament roller with bearings (that should be in today.

@@AustenHartley I wish I could say why. I played with several bed temperature and numerous filament temperatures. All I could print was plastic string - lol. Now I was using the taller one (it's not much taller, very little difference). I will try the shorter one, maybe tomorrow. 8-). I did print the roller wheel assembly for the filament entering the extruder. Got the bearings for it today. It works and looks perfect! I did have to ream the bushing holes out with an exacto and then run the assembled wheel (spinning of course) over sandpaper a few times to keep it from binding to the holder frame. I want to make the Z-AXIS handle, but mainly for looks. I really do not see a need for it (yet). If I want to move the axis up, I just do it through the front panel, or if the steppers are un-locked or the printer is off, you can just pull up on the x-axis bar (to me in the UT Immersion world, that is the Y-AXIS. X-AXIS goes the length and Y the width, but it opposite with the 3-D printer.

One of the most important parts about running the BLtouch is not ease of use as much as it is to create a bed mesh. When it probes various locations it compares the height of each of them and then generates the new zero for that spot where it actually physically reaches the bed and adjusts for that during the print. For example, you might have a slightly warped carriage that has some warping near one of the corners. Trying to correct that by simply adjusting the knob will actually change the slope of your print bed in a way that can cause issues on the non-warped areas. There are only two solutions for this: 1. buy a new carriage or 2. Use a BL touch to generate a bed mesh. When you take that into consideration, the ease of using a BL touch compared to manual leveling is the cherry-on-top to save you some time, not the main feature.

@Jack5822 Жыл бұрын

I agree, 100%. I level my bed when heated, and prints come out nearly perfect at the corners, but the father they get from the corners the worse they are. My glass bed is lower in the center. I plan to add BL touch so it could detect that and help my prints come out better across the entire surface.

I recommend using clips for your glass bed. As he said, you can just put the glass on the heated bed and take it out. I would not recommend that because the speed of the Y axis will move the glass bed and cause some really bad layer shifts.

Clips are not optional, your plate will slip all over the place if your bed is actually flat and you don’t clamp it down. I don’t think he meant that you shouldn’t clip your glass plate.

Great video, I'm glad I found your site and now subscribed to it. I have an Ender 3Pro and really enjoy it. I have printed many of the upgrades and now ready for more things to do. I also found the chain is not a great item but everyone should at least give it a try. The rail covers are one of the easiest to print and add the most noticeable color to the machine and the fact that they are easy to change so printing different colors for a quick look is fun. looking forward to more of your videos and hopefully selling prints in the future.

Just some notes, the spool roller w/bearings is really nice been using it for almost a year now, same with both filament guides although I have recently moved the spool holder off to the side and no longer need the guide for the top bar, however, the one that goes on the extruder is still in use, now in regards to the drawers, if you have big hands like me and you manually level your bed DO NOT put this on your printer, I did, thought it was great, put all my tools in it... then I needed to level my bed one day and boy does this drawer get in the way of trying to get at the knobs. I think it lasted maybe a month before I was too frustrated with it to keep in on the printer, and it only lasted that long because I did like it but in the end, it was just too much hassle.

I got an Ender 3 v2, before upgrading it, after every print I had to re-level the bed, after upgrading the springs to stiffer ones, issue continued, got BL Touch, leveled bed, adjusted z-offset and that is it. No longer the printer starts grinding the nozzle on the bed at all. And less releveling! So yes, for certain cases BLTouch can improve.

@sgtkabukiman9411 3 жыл бұрын

The BL Touch is is not meant to compensate for the levelness of the bed but rather the flatness of the bed plate. You're still meant to manually level periodically. The BL Touch measures for warping caused by frequent heating/cooling cycles and adjust the amount of filament extruded to compensate. if you have a dip in the middle of the bed, no amount of manual levelling is going to fix the bed/layer adhesion problems you'll have. The BL Touch will extrude a little more filament into the dip on the first layer so the subsequent layers are properly level.

@Vash.Baldeus 3 жыл бұрын

@@sgtkabukiman9411 I am fully aware, but I prefer leveling it every 5 or so prints and not every god darn print, makes it easier for me.

@ModelLights 2 жыл бұрын

'after every print I had to re-level the bed, after upgrading the springs to stiffer ones, issue continued,' Realize though, with this happening, you have something much more fundamental going on. Rarely even have to adjust my bed at all on the CR-10, and the Ender has basically the same bed design. Two main culprits, first being the bed wheels. Instead of out at each side of the bed like they should be, it's supported very near the center, so small angle changes can make larger changes by the time you get to the side of the bed. These need to be adjusted to near perfect, too tight binds and shifts due to the bearings being too tight, and too lose allows shifting. You have to take out all possible play but be just under binding anywhere. Looking at it, why they moved the wheels in closer on the bed is beyond reasoning. In the direction of travel they should be as far apart as possible on the bottom of the bed, that's free extra accuracy. The other main culprit is your bed level is stable, but your X carriage is not. You want to adjust the free side of the X arm a millimeter or two high, so when the carriage is moved to that side it comes down to even since it's mainly supported on one side. You have to make sure that the wheels on both sides have minimized play but do not bind, both when the carriage is on the left and on the right. And of course the X carriage wheels have to be correct as well, but it's easier to feel the X carriage moving or binding so most people notice that more easily. The wheel system can work, but it requires good adjustment to be reasonably precise and repeatable. Almost all of the 'my printer isn't precise and repeatable' problems in Creality printers trace back to these. Once you're set up for the day and have the bed level you should hardly ever have to mess with your bed. Even every 5 prints you almost guaranteed have some other more fundamental problem causing your bed to shift around instead of being smooth and precise. Undo your belts and move everything around by hand and it should all glide smoothly and precisely, no real wobble and only smooth deflection even when you push on the edge of the bed. If you feel much of anything other than smooth motion while doing it by hand, you have problems. And be aware, the plastic tires on these wheels can develop flat spots if the forces are too high on them and they aren't moved for a while, which can throw everything off Even one of my machines did this, I had left the X carriage up off the bed for a good while, and the weight was putting pressure on the wheels on the X arm.. Even if your issue ends up being something different, realize you have an issue going on and your bed shouldn't be changing that often, something is shifting.

@@sgtkabukiman9411 No, BLTouch/3DTouch creates a mesh map of your bed and applies correction to Z axis so the nozzle height is consistent across any [X,Y] coordinates. So it can compensate for unleveled bed as well, easily. I have not leveled my bed once since installing 3DTouch years ago.

@deltacx1059 Жыл бұрын

11:08 except it is not complex in the slightest compared to the parts already on the printer, and realistically you will never have a perfectly flat bed so a bed leveling probe is a pretty good upgrade. It has a more pronounced effect on big printers like a cr-10 max, they make things quite easy regarding leveling because they will compensate for distortions unless the bed is way off.

@glenthompson291 Жыл бұрын

I would recommend printing a storage container that attaches to the V slot covers, It is convenient for misc. tools. Also the BL touch and now the Creality CR touch are great for mapping the warping of the bed. over time the print bed warps and the sensor can account for that when printing.

@shanemeyer9224 2 жыл бұрын

Your episode is fantastic and very informative, but the only thing I strongly disagree with it the BLtouch, especially being an engineer I would expect you to love it as higher accuracy is always better, I bought an Ender with a terrible glass bed and struggle for a very long time trying to level it well. I ended up buying a BLtouch(a real BLtouch) and truly feel this has been the single most important thing I've done to my printer period, I now never ever have to fuss with getting my bed perfectly leveled and then make sure the clearance is right and all corners are the same, I hit new bed mesh and then set the Z height to where I like it and thats it absolutely 💯 accurate, I can even remove the glass bed and swap a pei sheet on it and I don't even have calibrate or adjust anything it always keeps the nozzle exactly the right height off the bed

So I printed 2 prints of ABS without cooling of the motherboard. (ABS=part cooling fan 0%) Also, white USB card reader burns cards if they slightly moved, it burned 2 of my SD cards. Fan issue affect to my knowledge all of Ender 3 (PRO, V2) not sure about other models.

hello Austin i just got a Ender 3 and I'm having some trouble with it was curious if you had the same problem when you got yours or if I'm just not doing everything correctly. when i print the test prints out they print perfectly but when I download a file and slice it and turn it into a G code on ultimaker cura it runs the print but doesn't seem to extrude at the correct rate -_- any fixes or tips thx!!

How do you recommend attaching the glass bed? I have mine at home but the clips won’t fit the 4mm thickness. Larger clips I guess?

@AustenHartley 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah just us 4 larger binder clips !

I've heard way too many stories of warped glass print beds so there's no way I'm not getting bl touch. Even if I don't need it, it's better to have one than miss it. I'm going to get ender 3 max soon, which ships with glass bed.

Yeah he is completely wrong about ABL. They should be called Auto Bed Level Compensators, since they do not change the actual level of the bed but CAN account for warped beds that are known QC issue with ender 3s

What’s bl touch ?

@TealJosh 3 жыл бұрын

@@theoneand0nly874 it's a small probe that can be bought seperately and attached to the print head. It's used for automatic bed leveling.

My ender 3 pro doesn’t have an e fan cover also on mine I put in much stronger springs along with the original ones so it is almost impossible to undeveloped it easily I had trouble with them unscrewing themselves

Hello, so I’m having problem with my ender 3.It keeps hitting the print/slightly touching the print when it prints and I’m not sure what do do

@Jhale716 3 жыл бұрын

Bed leveling is much easier when you change the springs and do the leveling correctly, most instructions miss doing this correctly. Have a glass bed ender 3 pro and don’t need glue or adhesive for PLA, and for PETG only need glue as a medium to ensure it releases from the glass. Have done a thingy on thingiverse that covers leveling, search my name there to find it.

Could the plastic stip at 9:33 be turned up to have the angled grooves flat to the top of the 4040 bar. That would fill the gap.

Hello thanks for your videos!! I have a ender 3 pro only to create clay cutters and after 6 pieces the printer is not working well it seems that the walls are not well filled and I don’t change anything , but I have no idea how to fix that again. Can you make a video to show good parameters to cut clay cutters but for really beginners I mean going into each step of the menu to explain what they are? I hate reading manuals and I need help!!! Thanks and gratings from Spain!!!

I had a manual bed for years, I won't go back... Love my printers with BL or CR touch. Makes things a ton easier. I think your rail slot covers were supposed to be placed a little higher...

Very helpful. Even I'm not a fan of E3 and own Homers Tarantula (pro??) as well as have built myself two custom i3's with 300x200 and 240x240 beds. Have to agree with you on the BLTouch, unnecessary complication as manual 16point mesh levelling does just the same job without too mush hustle and makes the printers plug and play(print). The beds are hard mounted to the Y carriage so just a check from time to time and carry on printing. Sometimes people concentrate too much on accessories rather than functionality. Function before form, not the other way around.

my ender 3 is working great.. I bought it a couple years ago and have printed as a hobby.. using.. maybe 5kg of filament so far (so not a ton I guess?) I don't know most of the problems people talk about.. but I have come to a few things: 1) I don't really use the aluminum bed/build tacky surface - mine came with the Glass+textured top bed (Corundum glass bed) - and I've never used anything else to print on - it's great. so the 'warped bed' issues people complain about - I don't know if my bed was warped or not, because I have a glass bed on top of the heat bed. 2) build errors. assembling it is .. nerve wracking for some. any misalignment can mean disasters in the future, so quality checking each step is really desirable.

I think on my Ender 3 Pro they mounted the electronics box upside down to keep the plastic out of the fan. The SD Card reader is at the top. Which by the way is a real pain in the ass when you insert the SD Card and it falls to the bottom when missing the socket.
