Absolutly amazing. Einstein said we should make things as simplest as possible, but not simpler. You did that. Make a nice documentation and mount instructions, give yourself time to make it look all pretty, and you are winning. At the same time that opens up a room for a short video build tutorial.
@@FoxSock Unfortunately, I don't think it will. The toolhead carriage on the standard ender 3 is different to the s1, therefore you probably will not be able to install the mod unless you change the toolhead carriage.

Hi everyone! This is my submission to Creality’s second Modification Masters contest. I went all in on simplicity and this mod can be made with just the parts out of the box! Check out my website properprinting.pro for more information and the 3D printable files! More information about the contest www.creality.com/activity-news/modification-master and my submission www.crealitycloud.com/post-detail/11066
Love your mod! Printed it today, it’s awesome and fits perfectly. I was hoping that I can easily switch between the extruded and the laser engraver. But the laser engraver doesn’t fit when your mod is mounted :( it’s just about 2mm or so. In case you want to make it even better for the contest, you could maybe find a solution that the laser engraver also fits.. but nevertheless: GREAT JOB! Thanks a lot!
Some of the best mods and or inventions are the ones that are the simplest. Your mod here is the perfect example of that fact. It's so simple and straight forward that all you need is what you get when you purchase the printer as you mention in the video. You just do a quick print and mount it, and you're done. Great job on coming up with that design. 🤘😉👍
Thank you! This realization came while I was designing it. Initially I had the idea of adding inserts or nuts. Since there's no pulling force on it, it can be done without. Just two parts and you're left with one screw xD
That looks like something good for a first mod to that printer just for added ease of getting to the nozzle. Not that it's hard to get to it as-is, but the mod looks so easy to do, why not do it.
This is Brilliant, You Should mention this for Many CR-1o Smart Pro Users who have the All Metal Direct Drive Sprite Extruder as well. Great Modification. Nice Work
I just bought this printer and got it set up a few minutes ago. Your mod is the first print. It's going right now. Oh for the record, I got the loose coil of filament in the vacuum seal bag. The mini spool must reserved for Proper Printers like you. :P
I was excited when I saw this, but then you covered the holes for mounting the laser module. Which is exactly what I would want a quick change setup for. I'm too lazy to design an adapter for it myself. That said, great design and I can see why people would want it.
Just picked up a Ender 3 s1 for $50 bucks and its wasnt barely used. came with extra hothead, nozels, ablout 4 heat beds also the extra parts wereworth that alone, great mod! thank you
this is amazing. afaik there will be a high temp print head as well as an laser for the s1, so this will make it so much more easier to change those toolheads! well done!
@@properprinting unfortunately my answer Was not Posted, on the creality Website they do have the Sprite Pro and a Laser Module got the s1, with the same connector, so your Design is even more usefull!
Thanks! I’ve got a Sovol SV05 and well, it’s 99% creality from the motherboard to the extruder, etcc…. I really like, as you said in the end, how this mod allows a quick disconnect to swap nozzles, etc… Fingers crossed it will work with my mount!!!! THANKS!
this is great! i just ordered ender 3 S1 as my second printer and I am planning to make is into a foldable printer that can fit in a suitcase while travelling and this mod is definitely going to make the folding/easy disassembly easier. Thanks
That's awesome! A foldable printer was my first video taking off :D th-cam.com/video/6GTCkd7rDe4/w-d-xo.html That also included a tool swap system which I started this channel with.
Thank you! It looks like that there is a public voting which is done on their platform www.crealitycloud.com/ It's a little vague and I'll post this mod soon on there. More info on the contest is places here www.creality.com/blog-detail/creality-2nd-modification-master-contest
Nice, simple and useful, really hope you win ! Making something simple yet effective can take more time than most think. The only thing still Ender on my Ender Pro is literally the frame and bed. Coverted it to a V6/BMG direct drive IDEX printer, has a unique 5:1 Z belt drive with brake and full linear rails. All designed from scratch, many hours of CAD work but It still can reach entire bed so lost no print size. Linear rail adapters and the IDEX mounts all made from aluminum for rigidity. I'll have to make a vid of it sometime I think you'd get a kick out of it. COVID lockdown boredom lol
@@properprinting Nah no interest in running an ongoing channel. It's already done aside from waiting for the 2nd V6 and extruder. Wanted it mainly for using dissolvable support material and 2 color printing.
hey brother , my CR touch stopped working properly out of the blue, so when i try auto level it tries to drill through the plate. Reddit has 20 million different ideas about it , seeing as you also use/have a S1 I was wondering what you would think could be the culprit?
It can be roughly four things. The CR touch, the cable(s), the interface board or the main board. I cannot give a clear answer of what it might be, because you need to start excluding things to find the culprit. My best bet would be the connection to the interface board and second best, the CR touch itself.
Great video! I have a printer that someone did this mod, but I need to return it to factory. Where can I get the part that was removed at timestamp 3:14? I don't know what its called or where to buy it. Help please!
@@properprinting Thanks for the quick reply. I have your quick change upgrade printed in PLA. I put the printer in an enclosure to print something in ABS and the whole extruder assembly has drooped because of the heat. Any ideas on how to recover?
@@anthonyjones3345 you're welcome! Well, it sounds like you can get your chamber up to temperature! I'd remove the quick change, mount it normally and reprint it out of ABS if that's possible.
Dude, I just finished building my Voron 2.4. It's amazing... I would love to see you play with that! I know you really like your Enders but you would love the Voron experience. Cheers!
Awesome! I'm very curious how this printer turns out. This is a project I'm doing without filming so I can thoroughly enjoy the build itself! If it's put together I might tweak it a bit ;)
would there need to be any kind of offset settings since the mod adds extra thickness? say, if i selected the option "auto home", would it center properly or not?
My Ender 3 S 1 printer is both overcooling and overheating and beeping. How can I fix it? What is the problem? (I contacted the technical service, they say it is hotend, but I am not sure)
I bought it from a local Dutch site, but you can look for 2mm prototyping board on Amazon or AliExpress to find something like this. Note that the standard is 2.54mm, so double check this!
The tool plate of this printer should fit any standard Creality printer. I don't know if they can be bought separately, but it would be a smart move if it would because this extruder performs very well! I still have that Foldable Ender 3, but I haven't gotten to it yet to do more with it. If I do, I'm going to change the folding mechanism as well to make that better and simpler.
@@properprinting would the wiring be an issue as the new one has a ribbon cable? I’ve just bought all your plans to turn my ender 3 into a foldable one
@@86sprout Thanks for buying the plans! The ribbon cables makes it more difficult to lengthen the cables. If I could do it over again I would've bought new cables at the right length. I managed to lengthen them and everything works just fine, but it's a hassle and an increased risk.
@@86sprout That wouldn't be the easiest task. I reverse engineered the connector and you can find the pinout in the Other tools tab on this page properprinting.pro/product/creality-ender3s1-simpletoolchanger/ This cable goes to a large flat cable connector on the board which is not like the standard Creality boards. This means that you need to make some sort of adapter for it. Soldering individual wires is also possible, but it's very difficult to go back to its original state.
Some people reported this problem, so you're not alone. The tolerances of the sheet metal part are quite course. You can resize the part a bit in the slicer software in the horizontal direction only to make it longer while the dove tail connection remains snug. Hopefully this helps!
Love the simplicity! Great functional design! 👏😎
Thanks man! I was considering making it fancy with inserts and everything, but the more parts I removed from it, the better it became xD
@@properprinting yup, most times the simpler, the better!

As an S1 owner who has both the Sprite extruder that came with it as well as the Creality laser engraver, I can't thank you enough for this design!
I'm looking at a LASER kit. How have you got on with it and is there anything you could recommend? Many thanks in advance.
Yesssss!

I'm using the V1 version on a LK4 Pro with differents hotends, a laser, a plotter :)
Nice work on this one, amazingly simplier !!!
Awesome mod! Definitely going to use this.
A $15,000 mod would be to move the nozzle fan out of the way to give more clearance for bed clips!

Reminds me of times from first cr-10 when right after assembly people would print bigger bed knobs and other stuff with PLA that it came with 😄
Good ol' days! I think that the ease of upgrading Creality's printers helped with their success.
What a simple, elegant solution! Bravo!

Hi, this mod works for Ender 3 V2 with Sprite Pro upgrade? thank you.
Does it work on the S1 Pro?
The only reason I haven't bought the laser engraver is because it's too much of a PITA to take the extruder assembly off. Now, I may actually get it.

I bought it from a local Dutch site, but you can look for 2mm prototyping board on Amazon or AliExpress to find something like this. Note that the standard is 2.54mm, so double check this!
Do you also have a mod for the CR Laser engraver? So I can hot swap between the two tools without removing brackets?
Do you have an adapter for the Creality CV-Laser for tool swap?
Somebody place that on Printables! www.printables.com/model/192454-cv-laser-module-holder-for-ender-3-s1
So it makes it so you can slide the engraver/nozzle thing on and off without needing to unscrew it? That's cool
