Seems like a lot of people managed to switch out the bracket without removing the whole axis, so you might give it a try this way! Saves you some time 😁
After downloading the firmware it took away my auto leveling what do I do

@@digidex4557 What does 10x10, UBL and HS stand for?
@@rramsey69 UBL: Universal Bed Leveling
I believe 10x10 refers to the number of points it checks for leveling. HS may stand for high speed, which is typically not recommended for normal users
Thanks this was helpful. Kind of annoyed you sped up the parts I needed the most, but by slowing the video down to 0.25, pausing and squinting was able to figure it out
Thanks so much for this well explained video. Funny how the Creality sensor comes with no instructions whatsoever. This was just what I needed to make it all work. Except the part about pulling off the entire x-axis. Managed to install the sensor without having to do this step. Thanks again.
It seems like more people actually made it work without tearing of the whole axis 😀 Glad you like the video! Yeah it's funny how they don't even supply any firmware build for it, you really have to kinda know what you're doing to install it 😅
@@yoramswiers It was a fiddly process, which I did before watching your video. In hindsight, I think it would be easier on the fingers to take off the whole axis like you explained. Live and learn. I guess they rely on folks like you to put out explainer videos.
Thanks for these tips, Im just few weeks new to 3D printing and i am still a newbie, i bought Ender 3 V2 from a friend (2nd hand) so its my first 3D printer, I hope to learn more tips from you sir!.. God Bless
I have the Creality Ender 3 V2 with the 4.2.2 highly modified. I am running the added z axis 2nd motor upgrade which I highly recommend(gets rid of any sag on x axis) along with the $40 Creality Direct Drive extruder(they did release newer direct drive for around$98 which I may upgrade to in future but happy with current setup). The $40 direct drive has worked flawless since install and setup. I just picked up the filament detector will use your video to get it hooked up, I will have to design different mounting since I am running direct driver extruder. I am also using CR touch added some G Code for the auto level routine, have not had to set any height changes in over six months, works incredibly well. I also just recently bought the surround chamber for the unit which should keep temps more stable. I have used PLA, PLA PLUS, NylonX with CF, and PETG with CF without any issues to date. I actually like the way the CF adds some hold to the prints keeps things stiff while printing tall items. My most used nozzle is the hardened steel .6mm for type of items I 3d print it is good speed and quality good compromise, plus holds up well to the CF.
is this a comment on the video or a diary entry?
Thanks for the video this is exactly what I was looking for. Also, this video is so professional I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. subbing now!
That's awesome, glad you liked it! I just started, so subs will follow, I hope 😁
@@yoramswiers you're going to make it big!
yo, really thanks for the frimware he is perfect, and good videos
good vid mate easy to follow, you can install the sensor without removing the whole thing, just gotta undo the 3 bolts holding the bearings in and it pops off, saves some time. Firmware install was super easy to follow. keep up the good work
That's awesome, glad you liked it! Did you actually managed to get of the screw that goes in the T slot on the X-axis. I Tried it but didn't really work and I got get it off I wouldn't be able to get it back in there very easily. Hence why I went this route, am I missing something?
@@yoramswiers yeh getting it off was hard. I jammed the little screwdriver in to stop the nut turning. Getting it back on was way easier.
@@oDesired Yeah that's what I was going to do, but didn't think it would be so easy to get it back on.
I got a black screen after following your instructions exactly. So here’s what I did. Might make a difference for someone having trouble. Don’t do the “quick format” option on the card. Do a full format. Also I hit the “eject “ button before pulling the card out of the computer. I also pulled the power cord out for a few seconds, turned switch on then back off, plugged cord back in and inserted so card with firmware on it. Powered back up and it works perfect. Don’t know what exactly I did wrong the first time.
hey thanks for the video. i have followed it exactly and for some reason the z axis will not touch the bed anymore to level the bed. any ideas what i can do?
Hello.Please help me with the choice of firmware on my printer, My motherboard version 4.2.2 is also equipped with filament sensor Touch sensors , which firmware should I choose specifically for my motherboard . My TFT display. How to flash the display to work with my motherboard. thank you in advance
Is there some type of guide i can get? my filament scrapes on the sensor. It leaves a bunch of filament dust.
I am a newbie at this. Will the firmware you have selected work with both , the filament sensor, and the CR touch unit?
Thank you for doing this video first off. Second I have the ender 3 v2 but haven't assembled it yet how can I install this sensor when I assemble it for the first time? Does this question make sense?
I have an Ender 3 V2 4.2.2 and I installed the oem filament sensor and I have a touch screen, I am unable to update the firmware, it wakes to a Creality screen with a progress bar and nothing ever happens. Any ideas?
thank you for this tutorial. without which it was a mission impossible ! However, now I'm looking for an easy way to replace the filament once the end is detected . it's really difficult with so few space betwwen the sensor and the extrude. any advice ?
after doing this seems like the sensor is inversed, it it shows filament runout when it has filament, but shows there is filament when filament is taken out. how do I fix this?
Do you think you can make the video go ANY faster?
Hello, can you make a video for Ender3 V2 for clogs detection? Bcz most of the time the printer keeps printing, the filament is also there but due to clog nothing comes out.
when it pauses does the bed heater turn off? If so how can this be prevented, as the model will release from my plate if it cools down.
In what way is the Creality one better than the DIY one you can put together for a few bucks and without taking apart half the printer?
im looking for the filament runout and the build plate leveler? anyone know where i can find both?
I guess there has to be a 3dprinted base to attach next to extruder so you dont have to disassemble the half printer.
I have something similar as a filament guide.
What version would I use for a Ender 3 pro with a cr touch and board ver. 4.2.2???
have you find out if it works with ender 3 pro?..Please help
Will this work on Ender 3 V2 Neo? It has CR touch pre-installed.
Thanks for the great video. An easy step by step. Just one question, will the Jyers
E3V2-BLTouch-3x3-HS-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin
work on my Ender 3B and will it have the firmware for both CR Touch and Filament runout sensor. Thanks.
I don't know for sure but I suspect it would. As long as you pick the firmware that is configured for your board there is not much that can go wrong. It may not work but your printer isn't going to blow up :p
Good morning,
Sorry about my English, I don’t speak it well.
I watched your video and it helped me to place my cable end sensor on my ENDER 3-V2.
I updated the software as you explained with the correct version 4,2,2.
Everything is working well.
Except that when there is a current break, the print does not restart where it stopped, but it starts from the beginning.
Can you help me?
Thank you and beautiful day,
J chose the same software as you but how do i set my home offset
Hello. What firmware i need to choose because i alredy got CR Touch and now i install that smart filnament sensor... in github site they re many choises... i know what board i got but idk what is the correct file... I got this option...
E3V2-BLTouch-3x3-HS-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin
E3V2-BLTouch-3x3-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin
E3V2-BLTouch-5x5-HS-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin
E3V2-BLTouch-5x5-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin..
idk whta means that 5x5 or 3x3 or with HS or without..
And i got btt smart filament sensor ... not same u got in the video...
Thanks for answer !
does the same process work for the ender 3 v2 neo?
If de have a creality Cr Touch, can we take the firmware with Bl touch ? Will it work ?
Hmm don't know for sure but I think it's possible it works. The sensors seems very similar and have the same amount of pins, so it may work if you're lucky, but it's probably going to need some extra configuring though.
I currently have the Ender-3 v2 Neo with the 4.2.7 motherboard. It has the leveling sensor on it also. Is the default firmware still the correct download?
Still waiting for someone to answer.
Thanks for the video. I got right to the end and found it didn’t align with my Redrex Dual Gear Extruder Metal Drive Feeder. I need to raise the run out sensor by 10mm.
That's unfortunate, luckily we have a 3D printer 😎
Exactly! Spacer designed, sliced, printed, fitted and working a treat. Cheers.
@@paulowen9628 Perfect, just like it should be!
Hi! Great video, I've one question though I have a ender 3 v2 Neo, and I think the firmware is different for the regular v2, can I install the sensor without changing the firmware?
Just looked up the Ender 3 neo hadn't heard of it.
I have no idea what it's firmware looks like, it's possible that it has the option to enable a filament sensor but I am not sure.
Also depending on the board it uses you can flash new firmware that has filament sensor support.
@@yoramswiers thank you for taking the time to answer how you're doing great will recommend you channel
Hello, I have the same doubt. Did you manage to solve?
I bought a generic $1.69 runout sensor on Aliexpress and printed my own bracket that is combined with a roller style filament guide that uses a standard skateboard bearing. I might upload the design to thingaverse since I had to remix multiple designs to get the nice roller/sensor/bracket combo perfect for my Ender 3v2. I also made an second version for my Voxelab Aquila.
Thingiverse thing #6195542 Filament sensor bracket with guide pulley system. Uses the ultra cheap generic sensor and requires no disassembly except to plug in the cable to the motherboard.
Hey, on my printer I use a sensor witch has 3 wires. I followed all steps, but wenn Iit starts printing it emedietly show Filament Runout. Does sameone know why it could be?
Does it keep printing if no filament is loaded into the filament sensor? If so, it's probably just a matter of switching 2 pins on the connector. If that's not the case you can always send me a dm on any of my social media and we can try and resolve it!
No it stops printing and starts the reload process. It stops printing even there is filament in the sensor. But i have seen a video on how to use such a sensor and i realy have to change some wires. I´ll try it out later.
Doesn't show how to remove the last screw on the bracket
Can this sensor be installed for the printer ender3 v2 neo?
Yes, but the firmware he recommends is not the correct one because it doesn't include the "BL" sensor (the thingy that touches the plate to home Z), so you need to choose one that does have that.
i have an ender-3 and i can see that all the firmware versions are for the ender-3 v2, will these work with my ender-3?
have you find out? I have an ender 3 pro
I dont know I just dont use mine, and use a sonic pad insted
will this firmware also support the bl touch
Yes check around 7:00 or github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases . Here you can find different firmware builds depending on your configuration, as you can see some have BLTouch in the name.
will this work on the ender 3 v2 neo?
I have the same question. Anyone could please help us?
does this work on on ender 3 pro? because after bin file. screen stays blue
same here E3V2-Default-v4.2.7-v2.0.1.bin doesn't work stays on blue screen
did you fix it, if so how
@@maxenlol no still blue screen
have you fixed it? I want to install same sensor on ender 3 pro
I came here to watch how the sensor is installed. Your video failed because the actual part I was interested in was sped up. I'm not interested in having to pause every ten seconds to catch up. No love from me. Sorry.
Even when you slow it down it's way too fast lol 😂
Seriously. He's saying to disassemble something and he speeds it up to what we can't see.
Same!
I have an original cr10 and can't find instructions anywhere on how to replace the extruder bracket clearly. Most are gor different models and the steps don't apply.
Has anyone found a good guide? I also can't believe that creality doesn't have a support site for their products. Everything is via email and that is slow and communication is iffy. If you ask more than one question they only answer one and you have to keep going back and forth. They should have online instructions at minimum and a video tutorial would be great! I'm seriously starting to get put off from Creality and I've supported them since 2016.
will this fit on ender 3 v2 neo?
installed my filament sensor today, used the firmware on the website of creality, flashed the firmware onto my mainboard..success, flashed the firmware onto my screen...no success
This is a great starter video about the process of installation however you are doing too much work ! You can disconnect the tube feeder and connectors to the extruder feeder motor and remove the three nuts that attach the mounting plate to the gantry. Also, remove the two screws that attach the screw drive. This allows the removal of the extruder feeder assembly without disassembling the frame and removing the entire gantry. Easy !!!
You could have just removed the extruder and x axis bracket. I have the same unit and that's what I did.
Indeed others mentioned this as well, I pinned a comment about it. 😃
Tried it and screen stayed blue firmware doesn't load
Not sure what I did wrong
@@jameslaub9082 Are you sure you picked the right firmware version for your printer?
@@yoramswiers Same issue and did install correct firmware 4.2.2 is the same I have as well screen stuck blue
@@patrickrauch4890 If you checked version number on the board and it matches the firmware version number and it still does not work. My first guess would be a hardware related issue... Maybe you can try using a different sd card? Also are you able to flash the stock firmware version from the Creality website?
@@yoramswiers Hi there, I have the same issue as listed above. I can indeed flash the stock firmware and print normally again. Also, the filament sensor does have power and turns on its light when I insert filament. Therefore I was thinking it isn't a hardware issue.
I am however using an ender 3 pro, with a v4.2.2 board. I thought this version would be identical as it's the same board, but would you might know if there's anything in the firmware I need to change to accomodate for the different type of printer?
I'm gonna work on this a little longer and if I get something that works I'll let you guys know.
DONT DO THIS. I downloaded the file and followed his directions and now the screens shows nothing. I cannot get the printer to work anymore.
Please don't fast forward trough the process.

I've never seen a less clear "how to" video. Thanks for the video, but the speed ruins it
🧐😮👍👋👋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my gooood it makes my eyes bleed man! Never lay down your printer on its back! You have just bended Z axis T-nut! And that's how z-wobble appears after filament sensor installed XD If you want access to mainboard lay down your printer on its side, never give preassure on Z axis nut!
That's indeed a valid point, putting a lot of pressure on the z-axis would not be good. I this case I don't think the weight of the printer is actually enough to do some permanent damage, but still better to avoid than having to fix it.
Make the video 20x faster next time, too slow
Jyers is dead. No development for over a year now.
Thanks for the video. Please DON'T call a video "How to" unless you show details on each part and how to do it. Instead, you sped it up like crazy and I nearly broke my printer. I would appreciate a more clear video. Thanks
Slow down this is a tutorial
