Thanks for the shout-out! I have since added parts for the thick old PSU and I am using it on my printer! I had the same problem with the t-nuts on one side but when the nut is rotated it fits on my printer
Thank you for the CAD files ❤️
Wish you nice holidays
Hello Can you incorporate trident skirt
It wasn't just the printer upgrade that was amazing, the production quality of this video was on another level!
The video was also genuinely entertaining! Loved the "great memories" montage :D
yeah
The satisfaction of addressing all the challenges and overcoming all the challenges in such an ambitious DIY project will always hold more personal value than just buying something off the shelf. Also the production value and edit for this video came out great too. Not to mention making an Ender look that attractive is a feat all on its own. I'd say this project was 100% worth it.
Thanks mate!
Not if it is redundant and full of diminishing returns.
It's just a waste of time.
This is amazing! And your cinematography is spot on! I love how you did the off axis slow spin angled camera shots during the reveal of the completed printer. Really cool
Thanks David, much appreciated ❤️
Upvoted for the cardboard enclosure, seriously, that's all you need people, this guy gets it.
It's so convenient having a window or two to be able to watch the print
Cardboard + clear film/plastic from some other packaging to add a viewing window that doesn't leak the warm air, careful not to cook your control board/motors though
Only reason I dont like cardboard is the fire hazard

You clearly have engineering skills which got the build over the line. I could never attempt such a project! Thanks for the video which shows what is involved - a very accomplished result which looks amazing. 👍
My man is building his own 3d printer while i still stuggle to avoid my 100% infill prints to bend on my ender 3v2. Mad respect!
Thanks man!! Appreciate it❤️
Sometimes 50% infill is stronger than 100%
@@epp9122You won’t need more than 30% in 99% of your prints, I print at 10-15%.
@@berfranper couldnt agree with you more, mostly print at 20, or 50 max. The infill pattern makes it stiffer than if you print it solid
@@epp9122 I agree but I need 100% for my application sadly. My anycubic mega s had no problem printing with the same settings and filament as the ender yet it bends badly sometimes. Even in an enclosure, using a brim and changing the temperature it still bends. I think that might be because of the stock fan and it's too strong part cooling idk
Very nice work, Ctristof. Both the printer and the video. Clever, carefully produced, and entertaining. Thanks.
this video is the reason i just started printing parts for my own enderwire upgrade! can't wait for the follow-up and further upgrades. great video :)
I didn't even know this was an option, very cool build, it came out beautiful, and the videography on display here is awesome!
Seriously great build. Loved the story telling start to finish. Subbed!
Your video's are such a joy to watch. Thank you so much for producing and sharing them.
I absolutely love your style of video and how much fun you're having.
This gives me an insane amount of motivation. I received my first ender 3 pro v2, and I know I have a long ways in the journey. There is still a lot I don't know but I'm trying. Thanks to the algorithm for showing me this channel, subbed!
Brilliant stuff, fantastic video production. I'm currently investigating doing some meaningful upgrades to my trusty old Ender 3 Pro and debating whether I should tackle a similar project (for the fun / educational side of it) or simply spend a bit more on a modern, fast 3D printer. Either way, it's incredibly inspiring seeing what the community has come up with. Long live tinkering!
Such a great and inspiring video. Makes me really want to do it to my Ender 3v2! With the help of this video I know I can recreate what you did here, thank you!
This is such an amazing video! Great job on the printer too! looks so beautiful
Been looking for this video a couple of weeks now. Happy to find it again.
Everything about this video is spot on! I would point out that for the price, you could have gotten pretty close to a Trident kit. As nice as the Switchwire is, getting to a core XY printer is a big jump in performance, IMHO. Getting away from a bed-slinger printer may mean that you can't reuse the Ender 3 parts, but overall, it will give a big jump up in performance. Obviously, this isn't a comment Christoph, but for someone reading the comments considering upgrading their Ender 3.
Your panning time lapse shots while you were building the printer are awesome! I know they must have taken hours, so I wanted to make sure you know how great they turned out
Thank you, Darren!
It is easy to go down the rabbit hole, but you received enjoyment from the process and have a great looking machine in the end.
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for uploading it.
Converting it to klipper and later adding microswiss DD with SB front and doing the belted z conversion, and then it being such a great machine was such a rewarding experience. I learned a shit ton about 3d printers and gcode. I think i know how you feel
Awesome video! Your cinematographic skills rock! The story is fluid and well delivered, scene chronology is excellent! And what to say about the final result! A performant, reliable and sexy machine. But most importantly, it is YOUR design! Congrats! I loved every single minute of your video. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! I love your animations & CAD skills as well!
Currently doing this conversion myself, while expensive and time consuming the satisfaction of building this machine is the best feeling. My E3P was also my first printer and I couldn’t justify just selling it so may as well up-cycle it and make it better than ever.
Man your work throughput is crazy! No idea how you find enough time to get through this many projects? Have a great Christmas and see you in 2023
Thanks Andreas!
Well, it always depends on the perspective. Some guys are publishing one video each week 😅
But i guess build videos, simply take longer.
However, i also wish you nice holidays ❤️
This is such an awesome video! Everything is so well done, it's really quite inspiring. Can't wait to see what you do next!
21 seconds into the video and you answered my 2 main questions. Can't convey how nice that is. I then felt compelled to learn how any why you came to that conclusion. I recently purchased one of these from a buddy that already had a Micro Swiss NG head and linear rails. Aside from adding a RPi 3/4 to run something web based it seems like most of the other things you did ultimately have minimal return on investment. Perhaps I'll get the magnetic plate, PLA+ just glues to the glass plate.
Brilliant! Great video from start to finish well done.
I love that this is a ender 3 and not a e pro.. well done! Working on my 3 pro conversion now and do agree the stealthburner is really bulky on the ender 3
Great vid ! i built one of these a while back just cause i had so many enders laying around... totally not worth the cost for what you get. But like you had a blast sourcing and building it. The discord community was worth it alone imo. Mine sits on a shelf collecting dust now while i have a blast printing prints even twice as fast on my X1C carbon😁
This was the coolest video I’ve seen for 3D printing! It was fun to watch the journey and how you documented it. Subscribed. Awesome video man and I think this is something I’d like to attempt on my Ender 3 Pro I just picked up. 😊 Thank you for doing this!
Thanks man!
Much appreciated ❤️
I was expecting you to have at least 300k sub based on the quality of the video. This is insane !
Another great video. Just found you this last week. Very entertaining and informative...thank you so very much. Please keep it going.
Thanks mate ❤️
I reinforced the 4040 extrusion which is as you know hollow inside. I used 8mm metal tuning with 5mm hole. Cut it and beveled the ends so that the m5X45 bolts goes through the tube and then does not allow the 4040 to collapse when tightened! This is by far the best thing I have done to my frames. As you know the bed runs on a single 4040 attached to a single 4040 I frame. This is very very poor especially if it is over tightened at anytime. Adding the tube prevents such event and absolutely give amazing rigidity. I hardly ever have to adjust my bed now and it stayed within .001 on all corners now. Obviously depends on the integrity of the x gantry, which I have dual 1204 ball screws on! Zero lash ZERO. The 800 steps seems to hit the magic numbers much more precisely, IMO. Great content you have , thanks for all you do.
This is exactly where I am with my ender, I am trying to refresh it haha, great video!
This was a random recommendation and I loved it, very nicely done!
Awesome build! Love your editing of the videos, awesome content :)
Thanks a ton!
Great video and building, the unique printer you build is always priceless, enjoy the LDO Orbiter V2 extruder. Happy Holiday!
Thank you!
Much appreciated ❤️
Thank you for this video, I started making my conversion in 2021 when I was 16 to my cr 10s into a Voron switch wire and the problem is that no one really made a nice project like this one’s for the ender 3 for the cr 10 (I dont know now I am talking about 2 years ago haha) so I decided to start modelling the parts to make it how I wanted it obv inspiring by other ender 3 project and after some months I did and I loved the results but then I was too lazy to print the last parts and make a GitHub page with all info and file but now you gave me back the enthusiasm to finish this infinte projects ahah
I'm wrapping up my v2 build with the stealthburner. I agree the stealthburner is kinda big. I'll probably revert it later on. Still it's a fun build. Definitely learned a lot by building an Ender wire.
Just found your channel, awesome job on the ender.3 and the video editing, ya got mu sub
Respect to you Sir Maker! Great work! I know it's quite allot of cash, but this printer looks better than most! And it's made by you. I will try to make one, I already have most of the parts, but I'm just learning fusion and it's a pain in the infill.
Great vid.
As someone relatively new to 3d printing, and having just acquired an ender 3 as my gateway drug into this addiction, i can relate to the psychological factors involved in my desire to upgrade this thing! Not sure i'll go as far as this video, but i feel fully justified in my desire to do the mods i have in mind. Tinkering might be unnecessary with the newer machines on the block, but a part of me kind enjoys the process of maximising what i have!
I just post this here to be invited to the 1 million subscriber special: this bro is definitely going places. Not even interested in 3D printing before…now thinking about getting one.
Very good looking build man! Nice work, first video if seen from you and you definitely gained a follower!
Thanks for the sub!
This is awesome. The video was done well and I laughed several times. I'm gonna check out your other stuff. :)
WOW that is fantastic! Great job , very impressed
Great video! I've been thinking about upgrading my ender 3 v2 slightly to get it printing at 100mms at a decent quality
I'm certainly not upgrading any Ender 3 machines, but man that was an entertaining video! Subbed. Keep up the good work & continue eating oreos at the speed of light
Thanks for the video, I've had a thermal runaway issue yesterday on my ender 3 pro stock but dual Z axis, still don't know what caused it but I just printed some stuff for an hour successfully with no issues today.
Earned you a sub, great video and effort. You should consider a build series for the future.
Awesome video! I'm in the same seat as you were. I have a old ender 3 which i just cant throw away, so im planning on upgrading it with New Glass Bed, BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V3.0, BLTouch, fresh bowden tube and maybe a new hotend. But after seeing this i think i need another Z-axis rod aswell. hmm.
Oh wow, I was admiring this printer yesterday when assigning serial number 😀And look what TH-cam served me today It's an awesome build, gratz!
Thanks mate!
Much appreciated ❤️
Now that is an extreme upgrade. Excellent. I am also currently rebuilding my Ender 3 but I just want it to churn out reliable prints so I can move on to start my Corexy build.
I was in the exact same place. In order to print a 2.4 or vzbot, you need a proper printer in the first place 😅
@@ChristophLehner I've been printing ABS for a while on my modded Ender 3 with pretty good results, but I'm really glad I spent the money on the PIF parts for my V2.4 build. Everything was printed absolutely perfect, no brims, no warping, perfect dimensions etc. Well worth the €80 extra or so vs. printing your own, and spending dozens of hours slicing, sorting, re-printing etc, if you don't have a perfectly dialed in large format printer like the PIF guys do.
@@lukasmatzinger yeah the PIF program is imo a steal
Awesome video. I ended up going the other rout you did and clapping mine out with a sprite pro and dual z axis.
Man this is the most honest video I've seen to date! Title's a bit click bait I'll honest but the video itself absolutely unexpected and fresh :)
Keep it up. You've got my subscription :)
the whole video was a damn rollercoaster
Loved it
Looks great, always fun to re-engineer something into a beast. Those first much faster prints feel rewarding.
Pretty sure I beat you on expense for an Ender 3 though, only thing stock now is the frame :/ 5 linear rails, IDEX direct drive, dual Z side lift belts, Octopus, AC heated cast aluminum bed etc. Has 10 micron Z resolution with microstepping disabled using a 20:1 reduction on Z. I designed it during lockdown and built it last year, every part printed was my own design including the compact DD's. It felt really good to get it up and runninng and tuned, Klipper is amazing.
One last thing I may do is ditching the old style V6 hotends and putting on a pair of Dragon UHF, sick of fighting nozzle changes.
That's what is fun about open source products, grab the CAD file and go nuts. Make something your own.
Sounds like a super interesting build👌 did you share the project anywhere such as GitHub and do you have pics or videos of it up? I’d love to convert my spare Ender to IDEX so I can do some experimenting with HIPS supports on complex ABS prints.
Beautiful building footage!
thoroughly enjoyed the video and the humor. thanks!
Really good content and high quality video editing.
Thanks!! Much appreciated ❤️
Actually amazing sir! You should have more subscribers! :)
Wow amazing job man!
This is the most entertaining 3D printer videos i have watched excellent.
Great video. Loved the ending.
great vid thanks Christoph
Totally worth the money, as a project very interesting.
amazing video mate keep it up
I love the Intervention scene!
Damn that's a sick build, just switched to klipper as well, but I don't have the money for the rest of the modding, but certainly will try input shaper at some point
Definitely subscribed. Very entertaining video. I seen a lathe and a mill. I’m curious on make and model. Only because I’m a machinist by trade.
Still have my first Ender 3 pro. It doesn’t even resemble one anymore. This must be what chasing the dragon is like for a heroine junkie 😂
I love how the Trex did yoga throughout the video.
much love!
Great video! Excellent editing and content
Thanks! Much appreciated ❤️
just discovered your channel. hope youre doing well. was hoping there was a part 2 to this video.
Great topic, thanks for it, 👍
The video is really good and well made, the maschine makes no sense at all cost and features wise. Very entertaining :)
This is very creative. Thank you. Made my day.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is simply amazing!
Im having a crap week, this here video was a welcome break, subscribed! Such a funny video
Thanks mate, much appreciated
Nice video man, fun and interesting
That is an awesome video! I am also debating between building enderwire or just buying something like p1p and selling my ender3 to friends. I will build a voron 0.1 this month and will decide after that :)
Love to meet ya and redesign my Anycubic vyper to direct drive and making it look awesome
Sexy build, that toolhead shroud tho... Might steal it for my stock ender!
I did this a bit over a year ago (modified the CAD files myself), but skipped a few more parts than you did. I also wouldn't count the price of the Ender 3 in the total. The only reason to do this with an Ender 3 rather than from a parts kit is because you already have one.
I will completely agree that you shouldn't pull apart your only printer to do this. You need a backup printer that is untouched during this process.
I had also done X and Y linear rails already (cost was similar to replacing the V-rollers).
Mine is janky when it comes to "case" which it doesn't have, but it prints well.
Amazing work I definitely think going through the process is much much better than buying a Bamboo Labs printer. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
wow the for mat of and quality of the vid was awesome you should have more subs than 5k best of luck in 2023
Thanks mate ❤️ much appreciated
Your skill has no end this was a pleasure to watch
This was a fun watch 😁
I’m doing something similar with my Ender 5 pro and the trident blueprint. Well worth it when you find it fun
I view modding my ender 3 as a more affordable way to force myself to become knowledgeable about how 3d printers work both electrically and mechanically. My first 3d printer was a folgertecjh prusa i3 which I could never get to work after the first print. The Ender 3 was my first real working printer. It has way more successes than failures. And Through Modding it and taking it apart and putting it back together I've learned a lot
One nice extra thing with the btt board add a btt tft70 screen, a nice 7 inch touchscreen with stock marlin screen option and a switch to an other UI that you can choose
nice work, this reminded me when I convert my Ender6 to a VzBot.
This is the way!
01:26 Hey, I know that guy....! Thanks for the shoutout ;) GREAT video, very humorous... you're going to grow like crazy, I can tell :)
Thanks man, much appreciated ❤️
First time on the channel watching this video took me back to the old ages before Ender was a thing and how much I spend rebuilding my Anet A8 to AM8 then few years later rebuilding it again adding linear rails going for silent steppers with new board, power supply, volcano instead of regular e3d hot end. I had to replace some wiring few months back really makes me wonder if anything is left from that good old anet
Holly, this is so awesome, my respect for this great video and the great build conversion for the ender 3, I have one too that is like my baby, purchased on 2019 and still rocking, recently I purchased a skr e3 v3 but have not install it yet, I want to use klipper with it, I want to be able to print higher temperatures material for print automotive parts, what kind of upgrade can you recommend me and if is possible to use the same fanducts that you used and same extruder without all the others parts conversion?
Another question is have you done multicolor prints on yours by simply changing filament color? Just curious about if would be possible by using the bltouch
Great video!
i already saw this video 4 times.. And i still come here to watch everything again and again and again ...
Very impressive and very entertaining👍👍👍
Nice job for getting a voron done. I felt the same way that you did about my ender 3 but opted to make a 0.1 and keep my klipperized ender 3 instead. I then did a sub 4 min benchy and built a 2.4. The switchwire was a good choice too tho.
A sub 4min benchy? Kudos to you 👌
Which on do you like most?
