Thank you! The deadline is moved to August 31st so I have some extra time to make it nicer :D

@@properprinting i hope you win! im guessing this cant work on a standard ender 3?

@@FoxSock Unfortunately, I don't think it will. The toolhead carriage on the standard ender 3 is different to the s1, therefore you probably will not be able to install the mod unless you change the toolhead carriage.

Einstein also added a fudge factor to his equations so he could manipulate the outcome to suit him. the cosmological constant made it seem like the universe was eternal, having no beginning. until he was called out for it. until he was shown by Hubble that the galaxies moving away proves there was a definite beginning. now why would a great scientist lie like that? and how many others do the same? the law that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed proves everything was made by the Creator, we call God. who transcends all time space matter. like for the theory of evolution. it's scientific. it's science fiction. you have to use an IMAGINATION for any of the evidence. now when I look at all the facts and evidence I see a world that's not billions of years old, but 6000. I see that there was a global catastrophic flood. there is extraordinary evidence for that, all those fossils had to be buried very quickly. there are petrified trees going up and down through layers, meaning it had to of been from liquefaction. I'm not making this up, watch Kent hovind. if the greatest of scientists can lie for their agenda, so can anyone else. just look at Lucy. those bones. it's a baboon, nothing human about it. don't let them fool you. all those "missing links"? no sorry they're not different species and no proof they had any descendants. in science u must prove things without a doubt. a theory has doubt it cannot be scientific because it must demonstrate to be repeatable.

I'm looking at a LASER kit. How have you got on with it and is there anything you could recommend? Many thanks in advance.

Yesssss!

Hi, have you found or designed a tool part for the 5W laser engraver ?

Does the laser engraver work well?

@@soa1Yes, i have the 1.6 w & the 10 w!

Brilliant mod, and has pushed me over the edge of thinking of buying this printer, to actually buying it. Good luck!

Love your mod! Printed it today, it’s awesome and fits perfectly. I was hoping that I can easily switch between the extruded and the laser engraver. But the laser engraver doesn’t fit when your mod is mounted :( it’s just about 2mm or so. In case you want to make it even better for the contest, you could maybe find a solution that the laser engraver also fits.. but nevertheless: GREAT JOB! Thanks a lot!

Thanks man! I was considering making it fancy with inserts and everything, but the more parts I removed from it, the better it became xD

@@properprinting yup, most times the simpler, the better!

Thank you! This realization came while I was designing it. Initially I had the idea of adding inserts or nuts. Since there's no pulling force on it, it can be done without. Just two parts and you're left with one screw xD

Came here to say the same. Simply awesome!

Does this mod make sense if you’re only 3D printing? What does tool change mean?

Thanks Grant!

I didn't understand a thing, but it's an interesting video. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mandy! I'm very happy with that printer! Very reliable.

I didn't even know that! It would be so cool if they use the same connector. Thanks man!

@@properprinting unfortunately my answer Was not Posted, on the creality Website they do have the Sprite Pro and a Laser Module got the s1, with the same connector, so your Design is even more usefull!

Thank you! It looks like that there is a public voting which is done on their platform www.crealitycloud.com/ It's a little vague and I'll post this mod soon on there. More info on the contest is places here www.creality.com/blog-detail/creality-2nd-modification-master-contest

Exactly! And I made a mod in the past using a solenoid so you can control it with laser cutting software. That worked pretty neat

@@properprinting neat! I love your vibe bro, take my sub :)

@@Psi34ax thanks for the sub!

Thanks man!

That's awesome! A foldable printer was my first video taking off :D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bK2Eds6VnNiolWg.html That also included a tool swap system which I started this channel with.

That's awesome! Please share a video once you've made one! Who knows the COVID boredom ends up starting an awesome YT channel :D

@@properprinting Nah no interest in running an ongoing channel. It's already done aside from waiting for the 2nd V6 and extruder. Wanted it mainly for using dissolvable support material and 2 color printing.

Good ol' days! I think that the ease of upgrading Creality's printers helped with their success.

Thanks! The possibilities are endless!

Awesome! I'm very curious how this printer turns out. This is a project I'm doing without filming so I can thoroughly enjoy the build itself! If it's put together I might tweak it a bit ;)

@@properprinting oh so you are building one! neat, can't wait to see your voron vids.

Awesome! I met Nathan at ERRF. He's a great guy and gave me his PCB, very cool and I can't wait to test it out!

Says completely normal sentence. ***HEAD TURNS TO DUST FOR SOME REASON***

Thanks Bryan!

They are way too lazy.

nevermind, found it :)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm aware of this issue and it looks like that the tolerances between printers is huge. Mine fits perfectly, but it doesn't for some. I eventually turned it back to original because I don't really use this functionality and it became less stable over time.

@@properprinting Okei, I'm gonna try making it less wobbly or maybe design myself an extruder mount, thanks!

Some people reported this problem, so you're not alone. The tolerances of the sheet metal part are quite course. You can resize the part a bit in the slicer software in the horizontal direction only to make it longer while the dove tail connection remains snug. Hopefully this helps!

This is an old comment, but in the event you haven't yet. I would suggest you either pay a little more for the pro, or just keep the Ender 3 S1 with the stock Sprite and upgrade the heat break to the all metal one with the high flow nozzle (Creality sells a kit). You can use the same Sprite extruder for pretty much all the materials. The only difference with going to an all metal heat break is that you can print at 300°C. So I would suggest you just upgrade that with a steel nozzle and keep going from there. I suggest the S1 over the V2 btw. And invest in a PEI build plate if you have not done so already. It'll make your prints stick sooo much better!

@@kennethchau6318 I actually ended up doing exactly what you recommended. I bought the all metal hot end kit. I also did end up buying the sprite pro head as well because it was a great deal on a microcenter black Friday sale. So I have a spare, or an upgrade for another printer if necessary. The S1 Pro was not in stock when I bought it, so I ended up getting the S1, but have essentially bought the led bar, the pei build plate, and the hotend upgrade. So it's almost the pro, for all intents and purposes. I've very much enjoyed the stock S1 and it is way quiet, which is nice. I appreciate the advice and appreciate you taking the time to make the recommendations. They are all great info. Thank you.

Although I haven't tested this, PETG is usually more durable, especially when it's in a warmer environment. Nylon or Polycarbonate would be even better, but that's difficult to print.

No, as long as the height of the sensor relative to the nozzle tip remains the same, nothing changes.

Standard settings with the PLA out of the box did it for me. The right orientation is shown on my website. It shouldn't be a difficult print. I did use Simplify3D though, but any modern slicer is capable of generating removable support structures. Is the PETG you used dryed? It absorbs moisture over time.

Thanks!

It changes a few mm in both directions which is still within the boundaries of the print bed.
