Received my Ender 3 printer last week and set out to assemble it. My 3 year old daughter insisted on helping and both of us looked at the supplied instructions with the same confused face :) Instead I whacked into Google how to set it up and your video came up 1st - and I'm glad it did. Your instructions were super clear and despite me not having a speed square on hand and just eye balling, having an awareness of which bits to make sure are straight certainly helped. We printed a small dog as our first test print and it came out perfectly - good adhesion to the base, nice and straight with good detail. My only adjustments to your instructions were at around 10:30 where the pully isn't getting the belt quite straight in the groove and required some bending to align it correctly. I also struggled to get the filament thru the extruder - cutting at 45 degrees made it much easier without taking out the brass screw. The plate levelling using paper has also worked well enough for me. There doesn't appear to be any major bumps in the plate so upgrading to a glass plate is something not on my agenda right now. Otherwise this was a pleasure to use as-is and would provide a good foundation for 3D printing to newbies like myself, although I'm still looking to add a couple of extra bits like: Ikea Lack Enclosure - I have an old Lack Rack I made for networking equipment so have 2x spare Lacks that I'll use to either make an enclosure or at least have a shelf on top to add somewhere to store stuff Octo-print - I've set this up already using a Pi Zero W and it's made transferring prints a doddle. I've got the camera but struggling to find a good place and mounting setup Arduino - I need this to flash the firmware to get thermal runaway protection, and once done it'll be repurposed as a smoke detector and temperature sensor, activating a relay to shut off power if smoke is detected or the temperature goes above a 'normal' threshold as a belt and braces safety approach Tool holder - the tools that come with it are great, and good quality too. Thingiverse have numerous holders for these that attach onto the printer LED lights - My room isn't the best lit, so having a torch has helped inspect the leveling and quality of the print in progress. Having fixed LEDs on the printer would help Thanks again for a great video!

@FilamentFriday 3 жыл бұрын

Are you sure it doesn’t have thermal runaway protection? Most have it now. And if you machine has a v4.2.2 32-bit board then updating firmware only requires SD card no Arduino required.

Thank you for your awesome video. I received my Ender 3 Pro yesterday. I followed your video, took my time and got it all lined up.

Thanks a lot Chuck - saved this video while I waited for my Ender to arrive - have now just completed the assembly and super big thanks for your excellent demo. It made things a lot easier. Only thing I had to do extra was very slightly shim the Z motor to get the lead screw aligning properly. Now to watch your bed leveling and get ready for some printing! Thanks again.

Hey there!!! I just wanted to thank you for such detailed and easy to follow instructions. I had ordered an Ender 3 which for some reason didn't work after I had put it together following the instructions that came with it. I ended up returning it and getting a new one. This time around I followed your instructions to the teeth and everything worked like a swiss watch. I'm currently printing my first test print as I write this and the quality of the print seems to be coming out beautifully. After this video I feel I have a much better and in depth understanding of the machine as a whole and all of its parts. Thanks again and I am now subscribed to your channel and will be watching all your videos. Thanks a lot Chuck!!

I have had problems since I started with the 3d printer, submitted it on service and got it back. I am a beginner and have screwed on every bolt available, following instructions from a number of youtubers with no results. I am very grateful for all the videos you post and I actually got some prints if I used a raft on all my prints thanks to you. What I never succeed with, however, are all possible calibration models that totally fail every time and I always troubleshoot without solving the problems . my biggest problem is that i tested everything and changed everything so now i don't know how it was from the beginning. I haven't tested this one, but it feels like it's my last resort. I return with tears or joy

We got our E3P on Thursday, and set aside this afternoon to assemble it - I had watched a bunch of assembly videos over the past week, but settled on CHEP's as our reference for today. We watched and paused this video perhaps a dozen times in most spots, so we know it quite well now. It is infinitely better than the supplied instructions, which, if we were limited to, I doubt we'd have a functional 3D printer tonight! After your bed levelling video and thingiverse files, we have a nicely level bed too.... Thanks CHEP, a great video, and a great channel. Certainly worth another patreon contributor..... :)

I just received my Ender 3 today. My second printer. Moving up from an Anet A8 (modified a fair bit) which has been very reliable and has delivered flawless prints. I'm going to turn this Ender 3 into an Ender-Extender 400x400x500. But for now, I'm going to take single steps, starting from the beginning. I just wanted to say the segments in your video I found most helpful and for which I am most grateful are: * How to mount the right side wheel assembly to the X-axis. The Creality pictogram baffled me. * How to level the wobbly, rocking frame. * How to square the X-axis to the Z-axis. * How to square the X-axis to the bed. You made an extremely helpful video. You are so pleasant and your videos have such clear explanations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks a billion billion Chuck! I had watched another video and while it was good the guy must've been an engineer cause he was methodical about getting everything lined up and squared to the mm. Glad I decided to check your channel and you address the most important assembly aspects as well as how to double check your work. Creality should use this video on their website since they already have links to other videos on their page. I ran into the issue where all the carriage wheels were loose to a certain degree. Even though this printer has huge support you would think Creality by now would update their instructions about how to perform some of these adjustments and tips for proper assembly. Who knows how many people got frustrated with this printer and gave it a bad review after focusing solely on the slicer settings without knowing how much assembly can affect it. Definitely gonna get the upgraded belt tensioners down the line. Big thanks again!

This is a really excellent video. Speaking as an engineer/tech writer/trainer, this is awsome. All the more so because the instructions that come with the Ender 3 are very iminmal. All the tips were useful, expecially the advice about adding shims (in my case washers) to the Z motor to make it like up better. I also like that you went back to connect that one last cable to the Z axis limit switch. My build went really well with no hiccups.

I can't say enough about this video. I watched it once all the way through, then a second time as I assembled my ender 3. The assembly itself took less than an hour. The instructions were all clear and concise and the tips really helped me to get a good build. I only needed to look at their written instructions a couple of times for clarity. Just following along with this I probably could have done the entire assembly without any documentation.

I have watched two build videos at the start. They were 3 or so years old This is the third video I've look at to see if I've missed something. This is the most recent build that I've found. I like the other 2 better. All three of them were wrong about the "T" nuts. I found it was needed to turn the nut wide then put it in the rail channel for the best grip. My build is practically done.

@@tigerzero5216 I'm super happy with my results so far, and everything seems to be printing well. I haven't watched any other build videos, so I can't compare them. But I found it really easy to follow along with this one and my machine feels solid and prints nicely.

FINALLY! So many posts on reddit about problems I know were caused by poor, non-square, assembly, I use to point people to "The Edge of Tech's" individual videos on Z, X and Y reworks, now I can just point them to this complete guide.

THANK YOU. The docs and at least one other video did not show the filament going through the extruder motor, so I was getting nowhere. This saved me from giving up on 3D printing entirely.

Triple check you're putting the pieces pointing the right way. Don't force the motors while wired or you risk frying the board, instead rotate the rising motor slowly. You got this champ

Best assembly video I've seen, and I've watched several. Most other "well done" assembly videos I've seen the creator goes through it in a way where you would need to have knowledge of how everything works to understand what's going on and be able to get it done right. Yours explains how and why each step is done in a very easy to follow format.

I love this video. Unfortunately, I purchased my Ender 3 Pro three weeks ago so I had to go through some of the mistakes you described. That's okay. You had a ton of other videos helping correct those.

Thank you so much. Without this video my Ender 3 Pro would have been out of square in all three axis and the z screw would not have worked at all. Fantastically useful video sir!!
