One thing I noticed. Near the end where you feed the cable from the top of the vertical column to the filament detector you let it be outside the horizontal support. There is actually a special set of groves and exit points to allow the cable to run WITHIN the horizontal support. This way it only comes out just behind the filament detector. In addition I could not do it your way without getting the cable pinched between the veritical and horizontal columns as it came out under the horizontal the horizontal one. All a bit messy to do but very neat. Of course the Creality supplied instructions said absolutely nothing about all this.
Great video, thanks, im installing tonight, you made it very thorough and anytime i had a question you answered it pretty much seconds after i thought the question to myself haha thanks again !
I have seen on other 3D Printers a filament detector and would like to add one to my printer. Thanks to your video and information, I’ll be able to do that.
3:56 Как вы собрались сохранить положение винтов , если вы кувыркаете принтер? у вас есть доступ у отверстию в опоре. проще сперва вывести хвостик от материнской платы закрыть пластину нижнюю, а потом только устанавливать верхнюю часть.
I must have the older model of the v3 se. Mine doesn’t have a passage for hiding the wires on the top piece and no opening to feed the wire into and down the gantry without crushing it.
Where on gods earth is that slot in the upper piece of the cable ???? No matter where I guided the cable there was a gap. Please please please show me where the slot is. So I can guide it through. Thank you 🙏 OH and another thing, I was unable to remove the fan wire or cable from the motherboard and it GLUED to the base and I just awkwardly had to move it to the right trying not to detach or rip of the fan cable from the motherboard. Is it normal for it to be glued ?
I have posted a public post on my community tab which I hope might help you find where the cable slot is. It took me awhile to figure it out where it was when I assembled mine. Creality tends to fasten the cables to the mother board with white hot-melt glue. You can usually remove this by grabbing with pliers. If you're careful it shouldn't hurt the cable connector or the slot it goes into.
Thank you for the great video. Question: When you reload the filament after the sensor trips and pauses the print, do you have to use the extrude command or does the machine automatically prime the nozzle?
Anyone managed to get this working with the Ender 3 V3 SE and the Sonic Pad? Installed it all today with the help of this video and nothing :( Doesn't seem to do anything.
That’s the exact same problem I had, I don’t know if I should carve a piece out or if I should keep struggling trying to find the slot in the upper piece to guide the cable through
its false you cant plug that there the plug is 4 pin but your cable is 3 pin you must plug the cable to next to edge screw three pin slot ı do it now and its work with that
Whilst I appreciate the time and effort you've taken to produce this tutorial, it's a complete waste of time. Like others have explained my fan cable is firmly locked in place and cannot be removed. The bigger issue is that the 3-pin cable does NOT fit down the vertical extrusion like you have shown. The cable end (plastic) is far to big to fit down - I'd show a photo but TH-cam sucks and won't let me attach an image to this post). Now I have to reassemble everything and hope I haven't screwed up a printer that was working perfectly prior to trying this waste of time. I'm just going to throw my runout sensor away; I don't need this crap in my life. P.S. After reassembling my printer, my levelling is way off, it was perfect before now it's all blue and yellow.... what a huge pain in the ass, all for nothing
On assembly, they often hold the fan cable to the printed circuit board with a blob of hot glue. It looks like a white blob. You can take a pair of needle nose pliers, grasp the blob tightly, and pull it off. But you can just leave the fan cable attached with the cover plate hanging if you don't want to do that. You may be trying to push the wrong end of the cable through the extrusion or it may be positioned incorrectly. One connector on one end is larger that the other. If you got the kit from Ender, I can assure you it will work.
The tiny diagram that came with the sensor kit shows it connected to a three pin socket half way along the LONG side of the mobo, but in this video it connects to the correct sized four pin (but only three wire) socket on the short side of the mobo.

Thank you! This is the only video I can find installing it on this model that's actually correct and also easy to follow
Thanks for the video, it was the only one I found explaining how to do it correctly.
Great video, thanks, im installing tonight, you made it very thorough and anytime i had a question you answered it pretty much seconds after i thought the question to myself haha thanks again !
You can hide the sensor cable by passing it through the channel under the upper pole.

Hello Dean, I really appreciate your video, with it I was able to make the connection without any problem. Thank you very much for your support!❤
Glad it helped
Thank you very much, sir. Your video on installing the sensor has been really helpful. Thanks!
Thank you mister. I bought and install the detector as well
Thanks for the video guide, it was really helpful!
Now this is a video I can follow! Thanks.

у вас есть доступ у отверстию в опоре.

This is definitely the best video ✌️
Thanks for the endorsement. Much appreciated.
ah ok got it. its on the description

Yo tampoco, lo tienes que poner por fuera y apañarte con el cable colgando por la columna.
There's clips under the top plastic piece and one on the back to hold the wire for the sensor instead of it dangling all ugly like that
Thank you
i installed this on my ender3v3 se and its not working, im assuming i have to upgrade the firmware, anyone know where i can find the correct firmware?
Comment in here if you find the answer, it also does not work for me and I'm not getting any help

Opps, forgot to mention the public post has a photo of my assembly.
Thanks for this!
Thank you grandpa

Don’t know. I need more experience with it. Anyone else know?
thanks where did you buy your detector?
On Amaxon
Display tft35 e3 for creality 3 v3 se
Thank you Mr. Dean. (Sorry I'm not english fluent, so I didn't get your last name.)
You’re welcome!

I have never tried Sonic Pad. Sounds like it isn't compatible.
@@DeansNScaleTrains I was able to work it out. Just had to add some gcode into the printer.cfg file.
I am unable to fit the top frame back I have to carve a small dent under the frame where the cable/wire comes to be able to fit the frame
Running the cable is a little trickie, but it does work. Your way is also a solution.
That’s the exact same problem I had, I don’t know if I should carve a piece out or if I should keep struggling trying to find the slot in the upper piece to guide the cable through
@@WatchingTH-cam123 there is an intersection of three or so plastic pieces coming from the three holes, I carved the plastic there

Can be 2 different version of the filament sensor ?

What a waste of time, you can´t see anything, but his hand.
He pulled it from the wrong side...
I was thinking that too but there is a small opening on the left and none on the right side, Logically, it should be right but heh lol.
@@proutos99This is true, I tried it the other side, theres no slot to put it through at the top
@@Bannanamamajama i didnt even find a slot heheh
