i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new series online ?
@Briggs Lawson Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!
@Elijah Roman glad I could help xD

I don't even have a 3D printer but heck I love these videos
Same was never looking into getting one cause I thought they’d be like $2,000 and cost like $100 a day to run lmao but little did I know I can get a $200 printer and only costs a few cents a day to run
Get one
@@comhghallgeraghty3541 You know that not everyone has the money, or they're more expensive in some places, right?
@@DreadlyKnight same lol thought they would be like 2k for one or 3-4K for a good one
@@misterdumbass5306 i just bought a used CR10 proV2 from a reputable ebay store for $339. Then added ebay's 1 year insurance for $37. A sweet deal on a great printer for big stuff!
@19:32 one of my favorite tips from you. The HOT SWAP.
So much better than the pause/resume=layer shift!
Thanks Frank! :)
I have been disabling the stepper to level because of other videos and didn’t even think I could be pushing the y-axis a bit without realizing it. You are the best, dude.
i was literally scouring the internet for this and all of a sudden this video pops up! THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Hey man, Thankyou for this vid. Perfect timing. I just got the 10S Pro V2 this week and have been having a time getting the prints to stick to the rough bed it came with. Your vids have really helped and this one is perfect for this new printer as I am learning it. Much appreciated and keep up the good work!
Watching your videos is how I got into 3D printing. These are such helpful tips especially adjusting your z axis while your printing to get that perfect first layer.
Idk how to express how helpful the baby z step portion of this was. I’m using a glass bed that seems to be warped because the corners are even but the middle sits lower. I used baby z step for the entire first layer of a boba fett helmet and it changed the game. Couldn’t get the print started before. Thank you once again for a brilliant tutorial.
I had no idea about baby Z steps! Thanks for that! Will be super helpful!
really great videos they were super helpful. I have the ender 3 with all the upgrades (got it second hand) and have been having problems with it and couldn't find a good in depth video until now! so thank you!!
Perfect. I just ordered my CR-10S Pro V2. These tips will really help!
Anyone new to this channel: Frank is someone I consider an oracle of printing! Great guy, printing great things, offering sound advice , and more importantly someone who cuts out the BS! Take notes :)
Oh, and check out the awesome stuff he's printed and painted!
That idea of writing down what the empty spools weigh..... GENIUS
I'll definitely be using this guide for my first printer. It's such a valuable guide and easy to understand. Thanks!
For anyone trying to get into the space, or any space, watch as many TH-cam videos on the subject as possible. In my experience, the more you acclimate to the information you're receiving, the more comfortable you'll feel. See what information keeps sticking out and let it stick with you. I watched videos for years on building/upgrading computers before I actually went out and did it, which gave me the skillset required to build/upgrade my first computer with no issues, so I highly recommend this method if you have the patience.
And by the way your videos are the best and easiest to follow I've found. I've been printing for a little over a year and keep moving up. I started with a solution and then moved all the way up to the Prussa 3 and now have the ender 3 v2
Really great info my guy. Thank you for all the time you put into these videos. They really help the people like me who are just getting into the hobby.
Wow in this video i leand a lot thanks Frank. Iam in the middle of wiring up my Ironman mk85 helmet and your TH-cam videos as always help so much. look forward to seeing your new one 💜👍
thanks to all the help from frank ive learned so much
I am so glad I found your channel, got a ender 5 plus and your channel has made my experience with 3D printing very fun and learning me up well
Am I glad I went to rewatch this video and now I know why some filament seemed transparent and wouldn't stick anymore. Thank you so much
Definetly gonna be watching this thanks Frank. Btw starting to get the printer figured out putting in the silent board a d extruder tonight.
Great video man! I never knew about baby steps and I'm having real issue printing since I changed my filament over. I'll defo give baby z steps a go!
What a great video Frank. I wish I seen this when I was starting out. Everything that you said I had to learn on my own or got some help from my Facebook group for creality printers.
I'd like to add when cleaning my bed I wash it with Dawn dish detergent first the ones I wipe it clean then I use the rubbing alcohol at least 90 proof.
As far as using the disabled stepper program I do that every time I level my bed. Then once it's leveled I autohome it. I have never had an issue.
I've only been in this roughly a little over two months and there's other people from our group asking me how I get my print so smooth.
One of the things I must say is a must upgrade from the get-go would have saved me a lot of heartache. Is to switch to a Capricorn Bowden tube from the beginning. I was at a point where I was changing nozzles almost every print and a half. Had major clogging issues until I change that too. Now I can't tell you when the last time I changed the nozzle. Everything's just running so much smoother.
I'll forward this video to our group page for all the new guys that just joined.
Thos helps me so much. I have a CR10S and I haven't used it in almost a year because I can't figure out why the bed only moves half way or why I'm having a hard time getting the first layer print correctly. These videos definitely help me troubleshoot my printer.
Been watching your videos for awhile. Great stuff. I've learned a lot from you. And that's coming from an old timer. Keep up the great work.
Ooo nice, always on the look out for tips on first layers! Had some issues recently that I’ve solved
15:00 After I cut at a 45° I like to then clip a tiny piece of the point off. For some reason I've found that the point causes the filament to jam when inserting; however, if you nip that a little you'll almost never have issues 🤘🤘
Just wanted to say, that I have been watching your videos. They have been a big help for me getting started with my 3d printing adventure.
Thank you for the baby Z axis tip. That fixed my problem
Another great video man! looking forward to new review video you mentioned near the end
Great video, i have been disabling my steppers every time i level my bed, after watching this i'm going to start using the manual adjustment.
Man you have been so helpful in so many ways. Now my prints look good thanks
Thankyou mate I've had a creality cr X pro for 3 years and have nothing but trouble your the first video that actually explains properly I'm yet to upgrade parts but learning what to swap out I'm running creality B L touch the z is off about an inch high and have to put it down all the time anyway I'll keep watching and learn thankyou once again,, Brad
super helpful video like always. amazing work
I just got into printing thank you so much this has been so helpful
Your leveling tip was invaluable!!!!
Can't believe all these tutorials for FREE. Amazing Job!!!
Very good information, thank you.
Lots of great info. Thank you
Great video. I will surely share this with people new to 3D printing or not new
Cool, I learned something more, thanks for you sharing
Just found this channel and I’m really glad I did. Keep up the good work, you’ll reach 100K in no time :)
Thanks for the tip. Helped me a ton
Hey! Thank you so much for these tips and tricks vids they help me so much.
Your videos are so concise and helpful.
I’m thinking about getting a 3D printer and you have helped me so much, thanks
I usually have the exact opposite from you as far as the bed. I've used that textured bed on 5 different printers and could never get any plastic to stick. I just got a couple ender 3 pro's and flipped the textured glass bed over and put a magnetic sheet on it and used the smooth side with a liquid I got on amazon that pla sticks to like none other. It's nice because it washed off with soap and water. I'd love to show you my setup if you're interested
Thank you so much man just got mine and this is extremely helpful!
Thank you for this video. I have been literally pulling my hair out after installing a bltouch and the creality textured glass bed to my ender 3 pro and no matter what I did nothing would stick and the bed level never seemed to be right. Fingers crossed I can now get it sorted
Love the videos! Just got my first printer and can’t wait to use it!
A little disappointed you omitted your most important upgrade. THE GOOGLY EYES ON THE EXTRUDER!
really detailed tutorial thanks
Great tips, thanks for the info!
This evning is saved!!! 3d print vid from the best creator
wow.. those stack of spools shows how much this guys prints... 😮😮😮
Thank you for the bed leveling thing, I didn’t ever move my axis around to level the bed. I though you auto level and do the paper test in the middle to change the z offset.
Great tip on not disabling the steppers. I was taught to disable them while leveling. Did it your way and PRESTO good first layer. Knew something was wrong but never suspected that as I moved the printer head by hand I was lowering the Z on my Ender 5.
Allways disabled steppers, never knew about the baby z steps!!!....... you learn something new everyday!
Great tips man.. keep it up!
Great info, thanks!
Thank you so much Frank this'll help me so much when I start printing for my business and I want her all the video before this comments 🤣
Thanks man your videos really help
5:28
I bought an Ender 3 Pro beginning of this year. Apparently, the rods no longer have a flat cut into the post. The gears are hot-pressed onto the post. Just a heads up.
Yeah they changed it randomly. It’s weird
very helpful video, thankyou
Some good tips for beginners,
I got to say that i get tired of the countless " Little things to help you print better" videos on youtube, but unlike many of the others, this one was actually very good. I have been printing for a couple of years and it still was able to give me insight on some things i have never considered before. GREAT JOB Frank, and thank you!!
Well thank you so much!
Another tip is to print with the door to your print room shut! It helped me so much!
Hella inspired by your content and my Ender 3 v2 comes in on Tuesday!! Do your tips for the Ender 3 also apply to the Ender 3 v2?
Your awesome man, nice info
I friking love u man thanks for all this info
Would love to see a video about what you do to fix when layers strip from the prints.
Love your stuff!!!
What do you mean? Under extrusion?
@@FranklyBuilt a print will complete and it looks great at first, but, when I move my hand around it some of the layers peel off as if they aren't sticking to the rest of the print essentially peeling off. I can upload a video if I'm explaining this poorly.
That’s an under extrusion and temp issue
@@FranklyBuilt ah, thanks! Hopefully I can correct it before your 3PM stream.
I have a couple trouble shooting issues on my Ender 5 Plus that I have not been able to resolve. For the most part, my prints are looking pretty good, with the exception of the layers that are completely flat, or parallel to the bed, those layers almost always look slightly burned, but not to the point of getting dark, but there is definitely some discoloration happening. Also, last night I printed a 55 gallon drum that I found on thingiverse. The outside looks good, but not perfect, but the real issues are the floor of the drum (inside) has the issue I just explained, and also, the inside walls have a lot of stringing. That stringing is not to the point of causing any structural issues, but it is very easily noticeable. My bed leveling is almost perfect with my numbers all being 0.0XXX. Bed adhesion is flawless since upgrading to a Wham Bam PEI build surface.
THANK YOU.
Whoa! That swap was extreme lol
This man, amazing
Hi I just got my Sovol sv03 a couple weeks ago and have been having a great time learning the hobby. I was looking to purchase some more filament but I wanted to ask a question. In your experience, what is the best filament to use for cosplay armor and props? I have been reading a lot and it seems split between PETG and ABS.
Pro tip: Johnson & Johnson baby oil applied to your filament (PLA & PETG only) with nozzle @ 207°C & 260 C°.as the mineral oil bonds to your filament you will see a two tone colors and swirls depending on the color(s) and manufacturers. Other than morphed color schemes, the oil allows the filament to have flex/elasticity.
Thank me for support?? Man, thank you for the information. I'm getting the little Ender 3 and will be learning how to run it. I want to use it to print out parts for a larger project which will be a CNC machine and double as a 3D printer.
Cheers you cover most of common mistakes very quickly damn
Need this info very good
Thank you for exp ❤
Hey Frank thank you so much for doing all these videos. I am having an issue we’re my CR10 S pro v2 is oozing a lot, I get a lot of filament strings and I’m not sure why, do you have any videos regarding issues like these?
love the new intro
Sir yoh have my like just for explaining what the babystep was ..... Thank you
I’ve wanted to get into 3D printing for like 5 years now but it always seemed too expensive to just jump into, but after watching a ton of your channel and a bunch of other videos and doing research I ordered an Ender 3 last night! I chose that one cause it works best for me price wise, and I feel like I would rather learn how to make it better than just dump money on a better one right away. Like I already ordered a metal extruder and the better bowden tube based on your recommendations. I can’t wait to be able to print whatever nerd shit I want 😂
Would u recommend?
@@The_Ladder_Perspective hi! yes I would, there’s definitely a steep learning curve so do your research before hand but over the last 10 months I’ve printed a lot of stuff and like BIG stuff too, just in pieces. And it was great to learn how everything works on a more bare bones printer, so I could figure out what upgrades to prioritize. Like the first thing I did after a couple days of owning it was order the silent motherboard. And it wasn’t until a couple days later when my prints were all still failing, and being smushed vertically, did I realize I just completely missed a screw when assembling the printer day 1 and it was still in the box. Now, after dealing with a few blowouts of my bowden tube hot end (even though it worked great for months), I’m looking at upgrading to a direct drive. So much of the fun is in the troubleshooting and the customizing, and that’s why it comes down to what you want out of it. Maybe none of that sounded fun to you lol
Bottom line, for the cost as an entry point to 3D printing, it was worth it for me, especially because it made me feel like I could afford a couple rolls of filament to start with and the upgrade parts I already new I wanted from my research. (Also huge tip: don’t bother with the creality brand PLA filament. They had a nice deal for two rolls for like 30$, gave me nothing but problems for anything more complex than a vase, I pretty exclusively use overture pla/pla+ now)
Awesome video, when can we expect that filament review video looking for a good spool to buy soon.
Soon
Awesome video💪....im really looking forward to get a ender 5 plus...quick question ...how do you deal with the smells from the printers?
They don’t smell. PLA is fine
What paints do you use for your awesome Ironman prints? Thanks for all you do
11:22 - Bed leveling on the Ender 3! Yay!
This is awesome information! I want to add do NOT clean the Creality carbon and silicone coated black bed with anything other than a little water and a clean cloth. I followed other TH-camrs using alcohol and window cleaner which is fine for normal glass beds but it destroyed the coating in the middle of my bed in less than a week. Good news is they are not expensive to replace. Also with these beds you have to wait for them to cool down so the print automatically pops off of the bed. The manual had no info about this. Happy printing everyone.
So for the Creality CR 10S Pro V2 it would just need water and a clean cloth? I am new to this and was wondering if the Isopropyl alcohol is needed for it?
I have to slightly disagree on that. I’ve been cleaning all 8 of my printers half with ultrabase and half with the textured sticker with isopropyl and they’ve been fine for months :/ weird
Lol love the eyes on your printer
I'm curious about that Lord Drakkon project you are working on there.
Suscribed 🔥awesome content 🤙🏽
Hey great video but I was using my ender 3 and I couldn’t find babystep z, at the bottom of tune it only said change filament.
Well THAT answered my question I asked you in the comments, that I asked you about earlier today!! I REALLY need to get caught up on your vids dude!! ...and you said you're closing in on 50K? Dude. As of today, this says you're closing in on 2 HUNDRED and 50K! ;-)
Hey so I’m new to 3d printing and well I made one really good print then after that all my belts were off placed and the wheels on them are still wobbly after tightening what should I do
Awesome video, i have a CR10S myself but for some reason i'm missing the 'level corners' option in the prepare menu. I just have the stock firmware running on it that came with it from the factory i guess. I believe it is version 1.1.6. Did you upgrade the firmware to get this option?
Yeah I did. But you can just do it manually like the ender
This is a sick video man. Btw where's the Magneto helmet STL file from, and how do I get it?
Do3d.com
I just got my printer set up, andam trying to Otterbein the bed and am having a really hard time. I understate the spring system but it dies not seem to be working. During infestation we had to remove the round silver gear that that twists around the metal rod. I need to know how many mm that piece should be up the silver sold rod it tightens onto.
Frank, is that The Dragonslayer behind your left shoulder? Because _holy God_ I now know what I will do for my first project that isn't a benchy
Not gonna lie. baby z stepper is news to me LOL! Thanks!!
today is my birthday, last day i got my birthday gift i.e a 3d printer.
