I’ve released a better assembly video here: th-cam.com/video/S7Q4OUZdWMM/w-d-xo.html
Chuck you are the man! I built my first E3P using the Creality instructions and just built #2 with yours, it took half the time and already feels 15% better than my first without weeks of adjustments!
This was a great video until about 12 minutes in. You started out super descriptive about what screws to use, and then got really vague and missed stuff. Now, I've got things all out of order and have to spend the next few hours sorting everything out. :(
Good to know. LOL I won't use this
Same here
I have had problems since I started with the 3d printer, submitted it on service and got it back. I am a beginner and have screwed on every bolt available, following instructions from a number of youtubers with no results. I am very grateful for all the videos you post and I actually got some prints if I used a raft on all my prints thanks to you. What I never succeed with, however, are all possible calibration models that totally fail every time and I always troubleshoot without solving the problems
. my biggest problem is that i tested everything and changed everything so now i don't know how it was from the beginning.
I haven't tested this one, but it feels like it's my last resort. I return with tears or joy
Chep i really do appreciate this video. I stayed up 2 hrs trying to figure out step 5. I was sure me and my 8 yr old would deemed alittle slow after that. But because of you i have my printer up and ready and we are ready to print. Thank you so much. CREALITY pay this man.
Glad I could help.
Step five is the hardest to figure out looking at the instructions
I just received my Ender 3 today. My second printer. Moving up from an Anet A8 (modified a fair bit) which has been very reliable and has delivered flawless prints. I'm going to turn this Ender 3 into an Ender-Extender 400x400x500. But for now, I'm going to take single steps, starting from the beginning.
I just wanted to say the segments in your video I found most helpful and for which I am most grateful are:
* How to mount the right side wheel assembly to the X-axis. The Creality pictogram baffled me.
* How to level the wobbly, rocking frame.
* How to square the X-axis to the Z-axis.
* How to square the X-axis to the bed.
You made an extremely helpful video. You are so pleasant and your videos have such clear explanations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
spent the last 3 hours putting my ender 3 together while watching this video. thank you so much, i genuinely mean it. this video was super helpful.
We got our E3P on Thursday, and set aside this afternoon to assemble it - I had watched a bunch of assembly videos over the past week, but settled on CHEP's as our reference for today. We watched and paused this video perhaps a dozen times in most spots, so we know it quite well now. It is infinitely better than the supplied instructions, which, if we were limited to, I doubt we'd have a functional 3D printer tonight! After your bed levelling video and thingiverse files, we have a nicely level bed too.... Thanks CHEP, a great video, and a great channel. Certainly worth another patreon contributor..... :)
Yeah, I got mine a week ago, and I've gotta say this tutorial cleared up some things that were not listed in the manual. Even though the manual wasn't that bad.
I've had the Ender 3 for more than 1 year, but your video is so good that I watched it all the way through. Almost making me want to disassemble it, get it clean and start over 😝
I wondered if anybody might consider that.
I was thinking the same thing. Except instead of taking it apart 100% could we tram it mostly assembled?
@@FilamentFriday time to put out a
"Rebuilding ur ender square" video?
Make sure to untangle all cables first before you start. I had to take mines apart because one of the cables was caught underneath the bottom plate when I got to the final steps.
Me too, seems like he could have mentioned that, i think close to 50% of people will have that cable trapped under there because he doesn't mention moving it.
Great Vid Chuck!! Thanks... filled in a LOT of gaps left by the manual. Assembly was a lot less painful having reviewed this one a few times!
This was brilliant! Thank you for showing us the various alternate ways to go about the build. In retrospect, watching this makes perfect sense, and now I'm off to rebuild my two E3's that are hit or miss as regards leveling and print stickiness. Now I know why!
Nicely done Chuck, you definitely show new beginners and the rest of us just what is important when building this printer and "Trust me Beginners you will want to use his profiles!"
Hey there!!! I just wanted to thank you for such detailed and easy to follow instructions. I had ordered an Ender 3 which for some reason didn't work after I had put it together following the instructions that came with it. I ended up returning it and getting a new one. This time around I followed your instructions to the teeth and everything worked like a swiss watch. I'm currently printing my first test print as I write this and the quality of the print seems to be coming out beautifully. After this video I feel I have a much better and in depth understanding of the machine as a whole and all of its parts. Thanks again and I am now subscribed to your channel and will be watching all your videos. Thanks a lot Chuck!!
I found your video because manual in the box didn't cover some crucial things, I just assembled my first ever Ender 3 and successfully printed my first print, and the quality was decent! Thank you very much, that helps A LOT!
Hey There Chuck. After watching this video I purchased an ender3 it arrived yesterday assembled and then used your bed levelling Gcode. Thanks for helping us newbies to 3d printing.
Glad I could help.
Just got delivery of mine today!
Thanks Chep!
After watching this I will now come back to this tomorrow when I have a child free environment to get mine built.
Great advice for which bits are critical when it comes to the extrusion being square.
Looking forward to printing my first projects, which will be the mods you have recommended in your other videos.
Side mounting the spool as you said really makes a difference. Get some cheap skate board bearings and print out some spool adapters and you will get a smooth filament feed direct into the extruder. Best change it to the aluminium version, a real cheap upgrade. Great video as always, thanks and respect.
You are the man! I had it half assembled from the directions and then they wanted me to load the belt with everything attached to the bar. I found your video, disassembled everything and started over and it went much better. The only thing I would say is the cable that goes to the LCD gets blocked by the text on the screen so I was not sure which cable to attach. I finally figured it out and everything was awesome. Fabulous job on the video!
Yeeee im gonna have to rebuild my whole thing. Should have watched this first
Great video Chuck, a lot better than the instructions that come with it 👍👍
Thanks Chuck! Going to follow this guide tomorrow when My printer comes in. Also going to follow the bed level guide.
You skipped the part of what side the motor goes on the x axis and out of order. Useful as a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest
@@Sabsbumblebee12 and it seems you skipped the part of your upbringing where you learn not to be an asshole for no reason. It's a good video, everything was clear to me and I have a lot more confidence in the assembly quality now than if I'd just have followed the manual. Thanks a lot Chuck!
@@EctoMorpheus my apologies oh sheriff of the TH-cam. I will be sure to not point out facts in the future.
I would have been screwed without this video. Finished building it. Will adjunto it tomorrow
Thank you for taking the time to make this
Thank you so much. This video saved me at least an hour of confusion.
This video was super helpful! Having said that, keep the printed instructions handy, because you will need to reference them for the correct screws to attach the various bits, and also to reference orientation of printer. I almost installed the wrong gantry arm. The printer gets rotated a few times in this video, so it was difficult for a complete beginner like me to figure out orientation at first. Thank you for the very good video, with these instructions I have had very successful prints so far! Once again, THANKS!
Thanks SO much. Got my Creality 3 Pro all put together. I had NO clue how to do it, but this really helped!
Thank you, after following your guide I got a perfect print on my first ever 3D print.
I love your passion on how to be exact on everything you do
With good explanations, yours is way better than original instructions. Creality should hire you as consultant, ha!
I love this video. Unfortunately, I purchased my Ender 3 Pro three weeks ago so I had to go through some of the mistakes you described. That's okay. You had a ton of other videos helping correct those.
Received my Ender 3 printer last week and set out to assemble it. My 3 year old daughter insisted on helping and both of us looked at the supplied instructions with the same confused face :) Instead I whacked into Google how to set it up and your video came up 1st - and I'm glad it did. Your instructions were super clear and despite me not having a speed square on hand and just eye balling, having an awareness of which bits to make sure are straight certainly helped. We printed a small dog as our first test print and it came out perfectly - good adhesion to the base, nice and straight with good detail.
My only adjustments to your instructions were at around 10:30 where the pully isn't getting the belt quite straight in the groove and required some bending to align it correctly.
I also struggled to get the filament thru the extruder - cutting at 45 degrees made it much easier without taking out the brass screw.
The plate levelling using paper has also worked well enough for me. There doesn't appear to be any major bumps in the plate so upgrading to a glass plate is something not on my agenda right now.
Otherwise this was a pleasure to use as-is and would provide a good foundation for 3D printing to newbies like myself, although I'm still looking to add a couple of extra bits like:
Ikea Lack Enclosure - I have an old Lack Rack I made for networking equipment so have 2x spare Lacks that I'll use to either make an enclosure or at least have a shelf on top to add somewhere to store stuff
Octo-print - I've set this up already using a Pi Zero W and it's made transferring prints a doddle. I've got the camera but struggling to find a good place and mounting setup
Arduino - I need this to flash the firmware to get thermal runaway protection, and once done it'll be repurposed as a smoke detector and temperature sensor, activating a relay to shut off power if smoke is detected or the temperature goes above a 'normal' threshold as a belt and braces safety approach
Tool holder - the tools that come with it are great, and good quality too. Thingiverse have numerous holders for these that attach onto the printer
LED lights - My room isn't the best lit, so having a torch has helped inspect the leveling and quality of the print in progress. Having fixed LEDs on the printer would help
Thanks again for a great video!
Are you sure it doesn’t have thermal runaway protection? Most have it now. And if you machine has a v4.2.2 32-bit board then updating firmware only requires SD card no Arduino required.
With your help I just assembled a printer. You helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
JUST finished putting my Ender 3 v2 together using this video as a guide for alignment and squaring it up. Many thanks!
Please stop cutting out parts of you putting it together, annoying as FRICK to suddenly have that second arm on with the slider and no idea what the hell is going on. Disliked.
Thanks man been watching you a lot. Just bought my ender 3 printer today on Amazon for $182. I had an elegoo Mars for 6 months and love it. Wanted to print bigger my buddy had one of these so and I Google and you came up. I’ll be watching your video on Tuesday again to put my ender three together. Thanks.
I wish this had closeups of what parts you are assembling.
Awwwww man where were you a year and half ago! Could have really used this. Following the printed directions when you don't know diddley squat about 3d printers is a nightmare. Although I did get it working it took me all day and night. Thanks to your vids I now get some fabulous prints. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your awesome video. I received my Ender 3 Pro yesterday. I followed your video, took my time and got it all lined up. After following your bed leveling video my first print went without a single issue. I have printed 3 more upgrades for the printer today and only had one issue with the Extruder Knob.
I just got one of these but it was fully assembled, but my friend that I got it from, said to watch a video on the assembly so I'll know what to do if I ever needed to take it apart. Another friend just bought one of these brand new and I'm going to link this video to him so he will know how to assemble his. Thanks and I'm sure I'll be watching more of your videos, especially the bed leveling one.
This video saved me so much time and frustration. This is my first 3d printer so I know absolutely nothing about them. Thank you for the great content.
Chuck, I just watched five (5!) assembly videos really, yours is straightforward, detailed and yours is the best, thank you!
I can't say enough about this video. I watched it once all the way through, then a second time as I assembled my ender 3. The assembly itself took less than an hour. The instructions were all clear and concise and the tips really helped me to get a good build. I only needed to look at their written instructions a couple of times for clarity. Just following along with this I probably could have done the entire assembly without any documentation.
Assembled in less than an hour! I'm impressed. How have the test prints turned out?
I don't like CHEP's advice on the build. (I service business class copy machines. The parts support each other. To not include a supporting part in the build is an error.
I've found better posted building videos, over all. Not going to post a link. That would be disrespectful to this one.
I have watched two build videos at the start. They were 3 or so years old This is the third video I've look at to see if I've missed something. This is the most recent build that I've found. I like the other 2 better. All three of them were wrong about the "T" nuts. I found it was needed to turn the nut wide then put it in the rail channel for the best grip. My build is practically done.
@@tigerzero5216 I'm super happy with my results so far, and everything seems to be printing well. I haven't watched any other build videos, so I can't compare them. But I found it really easy to follow along with this one and my machine feels solid and prints nicely.
this video was waaaay more helpful than the instructions it came with. thank you so much!
Thanks So Much!!! The instructions are hard to understand. My friend took him days. Not knowing to check TH-cam. I'm glad my first search came across this video before I started. I got mine started within hours. First test print perrrrrfect. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks a lot Chuck - saved this video while I waited for my Ender to arrive - have now just completed the assembly and super big thanks for your excellent demo. It made things a lot easier. Only thing I had to do extra was very slightly shim the Z motor to get the lead screw aligning properly. Now to watch your bed leveling and get ready for some printing!
Thanks again.
MR. CHUCK thank you so much i was able to set you my wife 3d printer thank you sir and God bless you and your family 🙏🙌
Thank you so much! I had originally assembled this and hit a wall because the extruder arm cord was over the top bar. I knew this wasnt right, came here, fixed that. Found some other things to fix!
This video is so good I'm going to disassemble my new printer I assembled yesterday and start over.
I was in despair until I found this video.... thank you SO much.
Glad I could help
Welp...... I was having trouble with the belt because I followed the instructions to a T. Turns out they put me in a bad spot.
Googled this video and I just kinda looked at where I was at in my build and looked at yours. Looks like I’m just gonna start from the beginning another day and follow your steps.
Glad I found this video.
These instructions are so frustrating. I like the additional suggestions for using a speed square. However, you do not explain which rails to use for the top rail, which orientation to install the top rail ( there is a RH and LH along with a top & bottom to the top rail. The orientation matters.
Also, you do not show how much slack on the second attachment of the belt. Make it tight? or attach the same as the first attachment (only the brass is exposed).
Yes, I found the same: similar parts are *obviously* different once you know....but for a first timer?
So glad I found your videos and website! Truly awesome. I was hoping to use a Creality Ender 3 in my classroom and with the information I've found from you I'm set to go. Thanks Chuck!
Glad I could help.
THANK YOU. The docs and at least one other video did not show the filament going through the extruder motor, so I was getting nowhere. This saved me from giving up on 3D printing entirely.
Thank you because these paper instructions were driving me up the wall ✌🏽
Thank you so much. It took me about 4 hours to build it and im mechanically inclined💀,now im headed to your other video for the bed leveling! 🙏🏽
Thanks. It's guys like you that make my kids think I'm super dad.
Everything I needed to learn. Thanks! Only, the filament does not find the hole leading to the brace fitting and plastic tube. This looks like a design flaw, if not shear ignorance on my part.
Hey boss, great video. Just got this machine to get started in this medium. Gonna follow these instructions rather that the in box ones. Thank you, and look forward to learning more from your videos
ty im used to taking things apart much more then rebuilding them from scratch instructions should be enough but they kinda made no sense your video was much more clear! first time im working on tech for free but hey it is christmas lol
This is a really excellent video. Speaking as an engineer/tech writer/trainer, this is awsome. All the more so because the instructions that come with the Ender 3 are very iminmal. All the tips were useful, expecially the advice about adding shims (in my case washers) to the Z motor to make it like up better. I also like that you went back to connect that one last cable to the Z axis limit switch. My build went really well with no hiccups.
Got my printer on Saturday and got around to building with my dad today. Your video was a great help!
Thanks a billion billion Chuck! I had watched another video and while it was good the guy must've been an engineer cause he was methodical about getting everything lined up and squared to the mm. Glad I decided to check your channel and you address the most important assembly aspects as well as how to double check your work.
Creality should use this video on their website since they already have links to other videos on their page. I ran into the issue where all the carriage wheels were loose to a certain degree. Even though this printer has huge support you would think Creality by now would update their instructions about how to perform some of these adjustments and tips for proper assembly. Who knows how many people got frustrated with this printer and gave it a bad review after focusing solely on the slicer settings without knowing how much assembly can affect it.
Definitely gonna get the upgraded belt tensioners down the line. Big thanks again!
Best assembly video I've seen, and I've watched several. Most other "well done" assembly videos I've seen the creator goes through it in a way where you would need to have knowledge of how everything works to understand what's going on and be able to get it done right. Yours explains how and why each step is done in a very easy to follow format.
I'm waiting for my brand new Ender 3, so I'm watching everything I can find (because I can"t wait ^^^) as I'm totally new in this world. And your videos Chuck, are definitiley the cream of the cream, Yours and DrVax ones are awesomely helpfull and clear. I will immediatelly subscribe to the Patreosn because both of you guys are doing a tremendous work. Thank you so much, keep going on !
Thank you.
Im in almost exactly the same situation! Although I had a second hand XYZ Da Vinci printer- so not much modification or upgrading available. My Ender 3 is arriving on Tuesday.
So I was just sitting in front of my Ender 3 Pro which arrived yesterday, it was still in bits and I was about to start the build. Your timing is impeccable Sir! Thanks for a great video and thanks for "hand-holding" me through the process.
The best part of the video is Chuck explaining WHY you should take so many of these actions. A square, rigid frame is SO important to sub millimeter accuracy in 3D printing.
Agreed
So I got my Ender 3 Pro, built it and then found this video....promptly ripped it all back apart and built to the specs in this video. LOL It’s been printing flawlessly ever since. Thanks good sir. Definitely a hooked subscriber 😁
Thank you for this!! The instructions that came with mine were really hard to follow, and I'm an Electrical Engineer!
Got mine in pieces watching this before I even begin, looks pretty straight forward
Thanks so much for the guide. I wish I found this before assembling mine. I got stuck on the gantry belt, it just felt that tiny bit too short to hook the way the manual says to do it, and your way was a piece of cake. I ended up watching the whole video to make sure I had done it properly, and there were things I missed out on in the instructions.
Thank you for the explanation. I just received my Ender 3 today and will start the build tomorrow. Your video really helps and I appreciate some of the "gotchas" along the way. Thumbs up!
Im a newbie to 3d printer, but after watching this video it helped me trouble shoot an issue on my already built 3d printer. I couldn’t do the “baby step Z” action and that long screw was simply not staying in. It seems it must’ve come loose, thank you for the help!! 8:28
Im glad I watched this video before assembly 👍
Liked & suscribed!
A friend brought me here, I'm just starting to play with 3D printing.
Sos un capo, Chuck!
Never conveniently skip over a minute or two of work like you do around 12 minutes man, this isnt a good instruction guide if you jump cut through installing 3 parts
This REALLY helped me! Thank you. One small suggestion for improvement: when you're about to fasten something, show an image of the bolts for it. Too many of them are quite similar. That said, bravo!
I would like to see you also recommend a hot tightening before starting the print, preferably with the nozzle unscrewed a quarter of the turn, and the PTFE moved down to the nozzle, before locking the PTFE up. That way you don't have to worry about leaking
Got the first upright arm on in 30 minutes. I’ll finish tomorrow
The first part of the instruction was already unclear where I mounted the arm mount. By the time I mounted it, I got the wrong side of the arm on the wrong side, not knowing each arm is holed differently. After spending all that time making it 90, I had to uninstall and do the whole process. Then the mounting of extruder is already mounted when you showed it to us. I thought how did you get there? Left for another tutorial by 3D printing Canada
lol im glad i wasnt the only one who experienced this.
Made the mistake of trying to follow their diagrams for the first half. Your video was a life-saver.
Subscribed in anticipation of receiving our E3 Pro hopefully this week.....
Wish I had come across this before I went around and around with the bed leveling. The factory instructions left a LOT out that was really important to getting the printer up and running with minimum fuss.
In your video you mixed up the horizontal bars. Then at the end. It was corrected. Thanks now mine are mixed up. Also. My ender 3 didn't come with instructions.
Wassup
I'm new as well thank u for the build very great greatful finally got the kids to bed and this took me about 3-5 hrs lost track of time its 3ish in the morning lol
Good day.
Thanks for the great Ender assembly instructions. I have Ender V2, but your instructions are perfect for it.
I do not speak English, so I reviewed your video with subtitles from Google translator 4 times (Google does not translate very well from English into Russian and I did not understand everything right away).
Let me share my experience in assembling a printer.
There is one unpleasant feature of the assembly of openbuilds and aluminum profile carriages. Usually the wheels supplied with the printer are of good or excellent quality, without damage. But after installing the carriage on the profile (and during adjustments, you have to remove and put the carriage on the profile several times), it turns out that the carriage begins to move along the profile with dips. This is due to the fact that, for an unknown reason, the wheels are damaged from an unknown source. The reason for these damages is as follows. When a profile is cut for a printer at the factory, the end of the profile and the plane of motion of the rollers is exactly 90 degrees, and this angle is very sharp for the material of the rollers and damages them when the carriage is installed on the profile. The situation is aggravated if the eccentric nut roller is firmly tightened in the factory and the carriage is installed several times.
As a solution, on my Ender, at the ends of the profile, where the carriage will be installed, I blunt the corners with a fine grit nail file. And each time, before the carriage enters the profile, each time I loosened the eccentric nut as much as possible.
On my first Ender, I unknowingly messed up the rollers of the X and Z axis myself. I got very upset when, after assembly, the extruder on the axis moved with noticeable dips. I realized that the dips have a frequency equal to the length of the roller's circumference (I experimented - I turned the rollers a little with my hands and the dips also shifted). I collected the second and third Ender in my collection without problems with the rollers.
Thank you very much! It was my first time assembling something like this, so the manual was confusing. Now I have my printer ready! 🎉
Really well done - anticipated a couple of problems I had with my build so I was able to get them fixed right away
Really excellent video Chep!! Logical steps to follow, Thanks!!
Thank you! I just finished assembling, and my first print (3DBenchy) seems to be going perfectly!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!!!!!
Greeting from the UK :) So glad I watched this before building, all went together great and after leveling the bed following your guide we are getting 1st prints out 👍 Subscribed
I was told I was being over dramatic when I used my squares to assemble my 3d printer. Now I see someone else doing the same thing.
Thank you for this. Just used this to set my printer up with my son. Super easy to follow and build
I just finished building mine using the manual and had some questions. turns out I built it wrong. my bed is wobbling, all my wheels are tightened wrong and my frame is definitely not Square. Thank you for the video it was great I am gonna go disassemble it now and start over
