"Bothering you?" LOL. Wrong it actually works very well, many "upgrades" do nothing for performance and are lipstick to make it look good, and can degrade performance. "Upgrades" are only going if blind tested and carefully precisely measured with calibrated instruments, anything else is blind guessing. Though nothing wrong with making it quieter or look better or cooler in your view.
@@airgliderz sorry i did not specify. You spent long writing down some advice that's actually elementary and I feel sorry for the time you wasted.My Fan cover has come down with some cracks and the noise it now makes bothers me. Hence am looking for a solution.
@@merwynmathew call them and get a new one, how did you break it?? If fan noise is an issue put in a noctua fan for ta size you need to to match existing oem then add a simple solid state reliable voltage buck, can get 5 if them for $10 on Amazon, good quiet noctua fan is not much either
@@airgliderz Yes im quite intrigued by the noctuas.. Never used the buck convertors before.. And worried to play around with the electronics.. Just wish they would sell fan covers.. Cant seem to find them.
My cooling fan connectors (see 3:32 in your vid) also broke (in part ? because Creality had used "pointy" tipped screws, the leading few millimeters of which did not bight into the plastic). Although I just swapped the two screws with squarer-tipped self-tapping screws (which worked fine), my fix is probably more appropriate as a preventative upgrade for a new fan shroud.
please sort your audio levels in future videos.. especially if your using ultra compressed music. having to constantly turn up and down speakers every time you transition from narration to a random unnecessary montage scene is really annoying. if you insist on the montage edits please either compress your voice over audio and bring your levels up to match the giant wall of sound music, or just use more dynamic music that isn't compressed to shit/obnoxiously loud.
Yes this is one of my earlier videos I was very bad (nonexistent) at audio balancing at the time. Sorry for the poor experience. I’m considering fixing the audio and uploading again.
No offense intended, but these are not upgrades. These are embellishments. They do nothing to add to the functionality of the printer. An upgrade, in my humble opinion, is something that improves on a device's functionality.
Yes fair points a lot of those were not technically upgrades and none of them added additional functionality but a few did restore the original functionality. Before I had the side mounted filament spool I kept getting snags and ruining prints partway through. Also with the original fan housing there were some broken bosses causing the fan to rattle around inside. I appreciate the feedback and will be more considerate with my wording in the future!
@@DesktopInventions The dual side part cooling fan is an upgrade indeed. Some suggestion for other upgrades: - double sided pei sheet - direct drive mod with 3d printed bracked. These two will change your printing experience on the ender. Thanks for your work, keep it up!
Lol moving the spool can't change the angle it's pulled off of it.. It does help the angle it go's in to the extruder. However no matter where you put the spool it's a wheel so it will always leave at 90 to the center. Science..
Yup exactly the filament pulling off will always be tangent to the spool. I meant changing the angle where it goes in the extruder. I’ve had some issues there in the past causing some under extrusion. Looking back though it may have also been from poor spool management.. losing the end of the spool and causing a tangle has definitely happened a few times.
I don’t think there was any improvement, but I also did not see any issues. I didn’t get a chance to do an overhang test with the Z-19 but retraction test prints and speed test prints looked good.
There are settings within your printers firmware to set the X/Y offset for the BLTouch. I recently did a video on installing the a BLTouch which touches on this point… pun intended xD
The side mounted filament will work. I don’t think the new extruder head will work since the pro has 3 fans and possible different mounting. Extrusion slot covers will work but the length might vary. The QR cover should work also. X and Y knob covers work work since the ender3 pro doesn’t have those knobs. If you check out the links in the description they should have more information if they work on the enter 3 pro. Hope this helps!
My P.O.S. Ender won't work, it just sits there on the work bench w/ fan running, bed heats up & that's it. Back to the store for a refund. It's "Not Mac Compatible" with 10.13.6
That’s strange, you should be able to download some Gcode files directly from thingiverse and print from an SD card regardless of Mac or PC, unless something is wrong with the printer itself. I hope you get it figured out!
V2 spool holder works great on a Ender3 V2. Thanks for posting!
Good to know! Glad you like it!
The black and yellow color scheme looks really nice! Good db change too for the fans
I know you know the black and yellow looks good! Just wait for the next video with major dB drops
This is exactly what i was looking for... the fan cover has been bothering me .. Thank you .
Glad you found it helpful! Noisy fan covers are no fun!

love this, cant believe you only have 962 subs, you deserve 10mil
Thanks for the support! 1 by 1 on the way there, I will keep focusing on improving the content :D
you're ambitious for using the plastic extruder
The extruder and heat block are still metal just the fan mounts are plastic. We’ll see how it holds up over time
@@DesktopInventions you're not talking about the extruder
You mean the plastic part that holds the extruder gears?
@@DesktopInventions yeah that is what he meant.
My cooling fan connectors (see 3:32 in your vid) also broke (in part ? because Creality had used "pointy" tipped screws, the leading few millimeters of which did not bight into the plastic).

Yea that’s a good point, I think my screw boss had broke off completely. I wonder if they’ve fixed the design yet.

Good video bro should do a part two with more upgrades
Thanks for the feedback! There is a part 2 and part 3 video you can check them out on my channel. I will add a link to the video description also.
Cool stuff! Definitely wanna check out that noise reduction rig. I’d like to get new fans too.
New fans are definitely worth it, a huge improvement!
Great profile pic btw!
Liked & Subscribed, Thankyou for making this video.
I’m glad you enjoyed it :D thanks for the support!
great and thanks to share with us.
Happy to share it was a fun project to document
wouldn't the hotend fan silencer make the z axis go shorter?
Omg I’m so glad I found your channel you have such amazing vids I subbed right away😊
Thanks I’m glad you enjoy! I’m happy to keep making new videos in the future
you are family?😉
Not a fan of the cooler (pardon the pun) :D but i want to do a yellow upgrade now :)
Yea it’s a very different design! The black and yellow really pops in my opinion!
2:31 not a servo. it's a stepper motor
Thanks for the correction!

Thanks for the tip on the PEI sheet. Direct drive is definitely on my to-do list in the near future!
Just print a direct drive adatper then you can print flexible materials
Thanks, that’s on my list of future upgrades. Do you know if it will impact printing speed having a heavier mass moving around?
how do I get the gcode for these upgrades.?
All the links for the files are in the description. You can load the files into cura or another slicing software and export your own g code

Did the Z-19 improve cooling at all?
I don’t think there was any improvement, but I also did not see any issues. I didn’t get a chance to do an overhang test with the Z-19 but retraction test prints and speed test prints looked good.
I’m just here for the music
I’m glad you’re here :D
can you put the BL Touch V3.1 on it with the other fan bracket?
Yes, in the link for that bracket there is another bracket you can install next to it for the BL touch.
@@DesktopInventions Now that the BLTouch hase moved, how do I tell the printer about this?
There are settings within your printers firmware to set the X/Y offset for the BLTouch. I recently did a video on installing the a BLTouch which touches on this point… pun intended xD
@@DesktopInventions
Thanks. I've managed to work it out since asking this question.
I think using JyersUI firmware helped.
I think you can upgrade to voron switchwire
I haven’t heard of that one before, thanks I’ll check it out!
Stepper motor not servo motor
Yes thanks for the correction!
🔥💕😍👍
Thanks for the support!
