Didn't even open the manual. Got my First 3d printer, followed this tutorial and my first print came out perfect! You rock!!! Literally, I have never done anything like before.

This video doesn't just hold your hand, it practically raises you as it's own

You literally saved me! I've been trying to get this together with the manual for hours and let me say i wouldn't be sane anymore if it wasn't for this video.

Thank you so much for this video. The manual was terrible so I used this video to set it all up and print my cat! Turned out great!

Newbie here...GREAT VIDEO! I got my Ender 3v2 for Christmas and did not even read the setup instructions as I found your video far more helpful. Only ran into two small issues: fist time feeding filament into the extruder I could not get it to go into the second hole and into the tube (it kept wanting to curl out of the extruder) and then when I started to do the test print my bed was ever-so-slightly off and I got a little curling on my first layer. Stopped the print, cleaned the bed, ran the leveling G-code again, made a few adjustments and now I am 35 minutes into printing the cat. Looking forward to learning more and getting better with my new "toy". Thanks for the help!

Creality owe you a check for this 3 V2 crash course💰

As someone who has that box sitting in my living room since today and I'm not that technical.... THANK YOU

Received mine two days into an eleven day stretch of 12 hour shifts at work, been watching box opening videos to tide me over until Friday when I have a day off and can assemble and test!

Bryan has done it again with what is, in my opinion, the best beginner's guide to the Ender 3 V2. I watched this video once through, then again as I put my Ender 3 V2 together - and it went just fine. My first print (the included cat file) is printing now, but the first few layers went down great! This machine is insanely quiet compared to my old Monoprice Maker Select Plus/Wanhao i3 Plus. The fans do make a decent bit of noise but the motor/operation of the machine is dead quiet. Color me impressed, both with the machine and Bryan's video. Thanks for the help, and good luck to everyone else on setting up their new device!

Just wanted to say "Thank You" for this video! After looking over the included instructions, I am not sure I could have put my V2 together without this video. Your step by step was so helpful that other than referring to the instructions once in a while, I really didn't need them! Thanks again!

I must say this was definitely the best tutorial video for how to build your ender 3 v3. I looked at so many but many couldn't contain themselves from adding mods and upgrades mid-installation. You helped me get my printer all set-up so thank you!

Gr8 video, saved me hours of anguish on how to the thing together, once built levelled & double checked I printed the cat without a single hitch, astonishing quality. Testament to your instructions & the quality of the machine. May thanks!!

best discription ever......watched several (hundred) and i am over 60 ( who says age is a barrier)...i know its been a year since u did this.....but it is still helping us aussies......thanks man......

THANK YOU BRYAN!!!! Just set up the ender 3V2 per your video and she's up and printing like a champ. Could not have done this without your help. Thank you again.

Thanks! Would never have gotten it running without your video.

I wish I would have watched your video when assembling mine yesterday. Went with the manufacturer's, and yours is WAY better. Thank you, sir!

BEST UNBOXING & SETUP VIDEO EVER. You're better than the User Guide. Thanks Bryan. I'm getting one.

Duuuuuuude! The "leveling" code was CRITICAL in setting my printer up. Thank you so much!!

followed this tutorial and setup my first print came out perfect

Thank you so much for this video. After assembling the printer, I was about to cry. But all is working now, just had to up the bed temperature

Your video really took the stress out of my first 3d printer setup and calibration. Took my time and didn’t have any issues except the first time I manually “paralleled” the bed. Once I got the feel for the proper resistance to the paper it was a breeze. Then after running the leveling gcode I felt so much more confident in the process. During assembly I switched out the bowden tube with the Capricorn tubing, switched out the springs for silicone but I’m keeping everything else stock for a while. Once again, thanks very much!

Assembly and bed leveling were a breeze with this guide, this should be required viewing lol

Thank you for making this video. I just built and made my first print on my new ender 3 v2. Did not even need the manual. Please keep making videos. Yours are the best. 🖖🏼

I love this guy!!! His videos are amazing, very detailed and well put together. You can tell he takes time to prepare for each of his videos and he edits them perfectly so they aren’t too long. Keep it up!

THANK YOU Sooooo Much for this "Hand Holding" as they say in the comments. It's EXACTLY what I need! I am BRAND NEW to 3D printing, and after long and CAREFUL research, I decided on the Ender 3 V2. Everything I've seen, including this video, has made me think I made the right decision. The printer came today and I didn't even want to open the box until after I have seen how to assemble and "Calibrate" the printer. Your step by step, clear and calm voice has instilled me with (cautious) CONFIDENCE! I subscribed 5 minutes into your video after I saw how this was going to go. Thank you again for your awesome work!

OK, I purchased it, set it up, and it has run almost nonstop since then. I love it, and I could use an updated video talking about things like maintenance, when to change orifices, that sort of thing.

Bought one of these yesterday. Didnt understand the manual, with your video we had it installed and printing in no time. Print just started, waiting for it to finish to see how things work out.

Thanks so much! Literally paused and followed every step! Really good instructions and filming!!! 😃

just bought one of these for $200 at microcenter and i wanted to say thank you for the incredibly informative and thorough video, it helped a ton

Thanks Bryan, I am a visual learner and it was a lot easier watching and listening to you than trying to follow the manual for me.

Just set up my first printer and used this video to help get me on my way to my first print with the Ender 3 V2. Thank you so much!

Fantastic video. The instructions don’t explain everything, but you do in a clear, visually understandable manner. I almost had a heart attack when I couldn’t find the m4x14 screw for the tensioner. I finally took apart the tensioner and there it was. Whew!

Thank you so much! I just bought this one and got frustrated, because its my first one, i got it for my birthday (finally 🥳) but, the informations you get from the retailer’s and the product seller are useless, you made it so clear and simple, thank you!!

My first 3D printer... Watch a lot of videos before assembly... This is the one that I decided to follow... Right now 20% of the cat already printed. Thanks! You have a new subscriber sir

Thank you for the video, it has been very insightful and helpful in putting my printer together..

Hey Bryan, thanks a million mate. I just bought my Ender printer and need all the help I can get to be able to print with it and you have helped me so much.

This is hands down the best assembly video for the Ender 3v2 I have seen. You have inspired me to give it a shot. Thanks so much!

Ok, I had to pause the video to comment. Your video is incredible. I've seen so many other videos that are close to this but they leave out very important steps. For example... this is the very first video I've seen that mentions the Ender 3's inability to read files that are in a folder. It took me so long to figure that out. Great video.

Thx for this vid! Got up to speed quickly & avoided several time consuming learning curve issues! I refer back to this video multiple times for clarity & refresher. You Rock!

I completely agree with what a lot of people are saying - this video was awesome! The manual is horrible, especially for someone new to 3D printing, but with a degree in computer science and having assembled my share of PCs and IKEA furniture. This video saved me hours of setup, the leveling file was on-point, and I’m already printing the cat! Thanks for a great video. I’d give you more than one thumbs up if I could.

This was really helpful! Loved the "fan" movements in video as well! My Ender 2 V2 is on the way so it's nice to know the basics before I get it into my hands!

One of the best unboxing and set up video's I've ever seen... on any product. truly professional level, actually better than most professionals... I wrote operation manuals for years, then was a Manufacturing Engineer producing build instructions for our production floor (Fortune 50 company), and now have been doing Mechanical Design work for 10 years.. You were clear, concise, mentioned critical points (like where edges should line up and what parts to use) ... had good shots of the parts.. etc.. again,, congrats.. oh, and even your Video Editing is spot on.... Subscribed... PS , getting an Ender 3v2 for Christmas (my first 3d printer) so this was perfect..

I just got my Ender 3 V2, a few days ago, and was very exited when i opened the box. I admit, there were more pieces than i had imagined, so i had to take a break, and look to the net for help. I found your video, and, literally in less than an hour, i had the printer up and running my first print. Your explanation, was far better than the printed manual, that was perfect. So having watched more of your videos, i am waiting, to receive a BLtouch, a a swiss all metal hotend, and a new all metal extruder - an knowing where to get the instructions. They are easy to understand, and go in a nice and easy pace. BTW - Octoprint was a piece of cake to install, following your instructions. Thank you very much..

The instruction book isn't very good. This video is by far THE BEST build guide out there. Thank You so so much for this. Just got my Ender 3 Pro V2 going!!!

I've got my Ender 3 v2 setup, levelled, and found my long lost father (well, it felt that way :-) ). Thank you Brian, you are an officer and a gentleman for creating this video and sharing it with the world.

Great video! So much easier than following the manual. My first print, the cat, came out perfectly! Never expected that, so many, many thanks for your great tutorial!

I did my first print today and it is turning out pretty good, had a problem with the level and an uneven print, though when i manually fixed that, it seems to be printing just fine.. Thank you again ..

I watched and successfully printed a 3DBenchy boat. Thanks for your instructions, they were clear and I learned a lot from you!

Being brand new to 3D printing, I was a little overwhelmed by the prospect of putting together my printer. The written instructions weren't clear to me and other videos I watched weren't detailed enough. This video was the perfect step by step guide that I was looking for. Many thanks for this! I gave the video a like and subscribed. Can't wait to go through the rest of your content!

got a v2 sitting in its box on my workbench, ordered a few of the more popular upgrades cr touch, springs, filament run out sensor and capricorn bowden tube. saves me assembling and disassembling it. Now having a first watch of this video to prepare myself :D

I am only 1 minute in. I am going to watch this as soon as I finish my dishes and put food away! I’ve had this in my living room for 3 days too overwhelmed to put it together. I’m Nervous and scared. I’m so Grateful you waited to video this process for people like me that just found your channel and know nothing about 3D printers. I’ve wanted one for over 6 years now and am so excited to learn how to do this!

Thank you for a step by step literally my first printer and everything came out great

I came here after following a different assembly video, and I wish I had watched this one first

It took a little bit of scrolling back through a few parts, but this was a great tutorial! Printing my cat right meow!

Cheers Bryan, you helped with some of the lessor known things about correctly setting up this printer, ill give you a mention in the 3D printing video im making.

Good vid. Used it to build my Ender 3v2. Better then the booklet. Very clear. Only the bedleveling, aaahhhh, whatever I do it does not stick to the bed. The nozle is different at every corner. even the front screw fell out while the screw at the back was as far in as can be. Looks so simple when you talk about it.

Best build guide on KZfaq

This video is awesome! I used to to assemble my Ender 3 V2 and didnt touch the manual once. Many thanks for yoru help.

Hope you know this video is still helping people! The leveling was still a pain because I'm dumb but I'm currently printing the cat! Thanks to you! Your awesome :) thank you for this video!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!! I needed a 3d printer to make custom molds for a business and I was dreading it bc I'm not mechanical-engineering inclined AT ALL hahahaha. I just set up the whole thing along with your video and it actually works! Thank you so much, this was a LIFESAVER!!! You literally saved my business!

More info as of Feb 2021 - I'll add my tips here, based on what I learned as a complete novice!! Hope it helps someone. Great tutorial - well presented, clear instruction. One thing I'd add is how to wrangle the cords and cables from the power supply. As you start pushing nozzles and steppers around (21min - 22min), cords can get caught and pulled around etc. There's an optimal position each cord ought to be held in. Not a big issue, but something beginners should be aware of. Also, the metal contacts on the micro-sd card go UPWARD facing - feels like you're inserting the SD card "upside down" Also - in the MicroSD card that comes with the printer, there's a folder called "Operation Video" - in that is an official Creality video that shows most steps here in more detail. You can access this on a PC/Mac. Again - great video! Thanks.

Anyone who just bought a Creality Ender 3 Version 2!!! Look no further, this is the go to guide on how to do your first setup. Follow every step closely, get the levelling file, do what he says and you will get there.

Just bought an ender 3 v2. Watched a lot of vids, read a lot of posts and this was probz the most helpful one. Thank you! Also, noone else had "peter's g code file" or something similar which REALLLY helped with calibrating/leveling/tramming.

I just assembled the machine and have it printing the cat, based solely on this video. Never opened the book. Fantastic job.

you are the best. I bought the 3d printed and i did all the work because of you

Thanks! It looks like my first print is going down flawlessly. Stumbled across this video the night before getting my E3V2 and your video helped tremendously.

Thanks for this great video! Had my first printer set up fairly quickly, and now it's happily printing the demo cat that came on the sd card.

Just bought a V2, it arrives Sunday, I'm going to have this video running while I'm setting it up Great video!

Great Video! It really helped me a lot... I build my whole printer useing youre Video. So thanks a lot!

Great video my man. THE BEST EVER DUNE.

You are my favorite 3d printing youtuber! super chipper and helpful!

Very helpful video. Was able to set up my printer using your video as a complete newbie to 3d printing. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I followed it instead of the included instructions to get my ender 3 v2 built. I printed both the cat and dog samples with the included filament and they come out nicely.

Cheers mate, this really helped. Printing that cat as I type👍🏻

This is a GREAT video, and all I needed to assemble my first 3D printer, the Ender 3 V2. Thanks.

Excellent beginner video, I'm chomping at the bit for mine to arrive! 😋 Thanks for this, definitely subscribed!😄

Thanks for video, mine comes in Saturday and I went ahead and got upgrades for it since the only negative reviews were from bad original equipment

This is such a perfect setup tutorial vid! Thanks so much for making such a thorough guide. Just got my 3v2 today:)

Tanks for the EXTREME QUALITY of your assembly explanation sas si easy To do whit tour vidéo 👌👌👌👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I learned some things about the printer I hadn’t known before. Bravo, sir

Really excellent step by step instructions - calm and easy to follow. I'm currently making a v2 build - my first ender. Glad to found that video. Thanks!

This is fantastic. Thanks a lot for all the effort you've put into this. I'll be watching it again tomorrow when mine arrives!

Great video thx . I opened my box and was like uhhh.. im new just decided to get one.. so thx again i fell alot better , not so lost

My printer is coming in any minute now. I'm excited to get it going. Thanks for this video, I can't wait to get it going.

Very good video. I just my 3 v2 yesterday and used your video to help me set it up. Was a very big help. So far I'm liking this printer once I got it setup.

Cheers brother, really appreciate the quality video! Dont think i would have gotten this far without your help. Clear, concise and easy to follow AAA+

I got my first 3D printer, followed your video step by step, and my test print cat is coming out perfect! THANK YOU!!!! I'm buying you that coffee.

Thank you for the help, my extruder and the horizontal axis wires were mislabeled by the manufacturer, this helped me figure it out and now I’m happily printing some bench tests. Now some STL files from a Galaxy far far away are in my future

Thank you to everyone supporting him because I’m new here and he’s helping me so much!

Excellent walk-thru. I just got my V2, searched for an assembly video and I'm running my first 'cat print' as I type this. Thanks for the succinct video as well as the bed levelling gcode file! Great work.

Man oh man, this video was such a huge help, thank you so much.

Thank you very, very much. You got me through the unboxing almost all the way to the end. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and candor :) . The Z axis nut also fell out of the packaging for me as I was going along with you, I had the same look on my face...lol. A couple things not in this video that I ran into. 1 I was really struggling to level the bed, I realized the back left corner where the element is attached was making that corner too high and I didn't have enough slack in the springs to level it. The 1mm of play that autohome gives was too much for me. So I ended up tightening the z-stop about 0.5mm from it being fully closed, then autohome set it much closer to the bed. And number 2, you made loading the filament in this look easy, but mine is getting stuck and I'm turning the blue dial to try to pull it through but I guess I don't know what I'm doing, so I have to chase down another video for that. But anyway THANK YOU!! Wonderful video, Creality should link to your video instead of their instructions :D

Assembled mine while watching your video. It made it really easy and the printer is working great. Thank you!

Brilliant video Bryan. Very informative. Thank you!

Without this video it would have taken me 3 years to get it working with the enclosed instructions. Thanks for saving my sanity!

Thanks. I hope Creality is paying you for making these videos, professional quality. 153,608 views as of right now.

Thanks for the video. Had a few minor issues during the assembly, but the first print was surprisingly good really. There is surprising detail in the outer layers of the cube I printed. The video was very helpful.

Hi BV. i would say do not use printer or copy paper instead use an old business card they are often 1 mm thick put like you do with the paper and turn the screw now when you feel friction on the card and you see a small indentation you are golden. If you use a peace of copy paper your two close and you get the squashed out lines and your print start to get wave look on the print and the print head might get caught on these layers. making an uneven print and you can also see it because you get a lot of crap or burned filament on the print head, this you have to clean later on, so use a business card remember you should be able to pull the card out when hit by the nozzle, but it should leave a small indent on the card. happy trails my friends.

Just got mine today! Using this video to help me setup, you have a new sub :)

Very well done video, excellent presentation, just want to say thank you for a job very well done. Appreciated very much
