Today I'll be going over all the upgrades I’ve done to my Ender 3 Pro and show how you can transform a budget 3D printer into a truly great one that produces flawless results every time. It’s been over a year since I’ve done any adjustments at all to it, not even a bed leveling, and it's been an incredibly stable workhorse this entire time. Honestly, it’s so good now that I can simply push print and walk away without worrying about failed prints!

I'm gonna look into some of these upgrades including the springs and bl touch. Thanks for the recommendations

Very useful video going to be looking into quite a few of these upgrades. Just got a glass bed installed today and that itself is such an upgrade best adhesion I’ve ever gotten. Think the probe is at the top of the list for upgrades.

Good to see you doing 3d printer content again. I'm about to view your practical electronics & circuits video for some guidance on a few projects I've printed, but not finished building due to having to make electrical connections to motors and lighting. Keep up the good work. You could maybe think about publishing a video on how to design simple 3d parts (boxes, etc) for custom upgrades. Again, much appreciated content. Be Well and Happy!

Great video ❤❤❤

@SAMZIRRA

Nice video, very thoughtful❤

I took a little bit different route. I started with an Ender 3 V1. I've installed a dual z drive, a Creality 4.2.7 board, a Sprite Pro direct drive, all metal hot end and upgraded the ducts and fans, a Meanwell power supply, a CR Touch and upgraded the display to a V2 type display. I also upgraded to the MRiscoc professional software, and lastly a Diamondback diamond 4mm nozzle.

No yellow springs. Use Silicon. About the only thing i disagree with. Yellow springs will lose there tension faster then the silicon

Hey I’m new to this I bought an ender 3 and Ik it’s old but thanks for the info

@I000I

I upgraded mine (Ender 3 Pro) with direct Sprite Extruder - not only it's better and not touching Z axes, but also changing filament has became very easy and almost instant. Then CR touch, PEI surface. And Klipper, of course. Too bad i never heard of this KIAUH before! 😁

Thanks for a great video! +1 :D I've had my Ender 3 (v1 I believe) for several years now, but I only recently started printing again after a 1 year hiatus. There are several popular upgrades, or "upgrades", that I have not made. I'm glad that you mentioned the fact that a direct drive on this one will add substantial weight to the print head. Several people I know have gotten lower quality prints after installing a direct drive. I ended up replacing the bowden tube with one that flexes less, and have left it at that. I have a raspberrry pie laying around so I might look into getting octo print onto that. Or do you suggest just sticking to a laptop?

Cant waith for my Ender 3 v3 KE to show up in the mail.

I have the Ender 3 Pro which is heavily modded. New main board, dual z rods, auto bed sensor, silicon bed mounts, direct drive and all metal hotend. Though it prints well, it still has limitations which is mainly speed and cannot print faster than 60 or 70mm/s with the current hotend. I would need to go to a high flow hotend and I am not sure which one would be best.

@JUSTTRYITDIY

great video, I have just strated but see some of the short falls of the printer, I have some updates on order. will the auto level work with stock set up or will I need to update something

@kylegriesser4281

my bowden tube literally failed within 2 prints of me getting the gender 3, i took apart the whole heating area and cleaned it out entirely and even ran plastic through it by hand, couldn’t use the change filament option to push plastic out either, was jammed somewhere in the middle

@Los3140

Wanted to say Thank you, I found the answer to what I thought was an Extruder problem. The issue turned out to be my Bowden tube was not propberly installed into my nozzel. I corrected all in accordance with this video. Once again Thanks.

I have a question about the filament roller guide and spool location. When printing taller prints it looks like the guide would put a hard bend on the filament with it being located on the side have you had any issues? I have the same roller on mine, but my filament is still on the top. With the encloser I'm getting I will have to move my spool location.

@jcandy5799

Hi, your liink for the Bigtreetech board includes a touch screen, do you recommend the touch screen or just the board (it looks like your Ender does not have one)?
