#3dprinting #ender3 #upgrade - บันเทิง
Just looked on Amazon for the metal extruder clamp and found the whole kit in your video (clamps, bed leveling springs, hose, etc) for less than $20. Now sir, that is an upgrade for a bargin!
Thank you for this video. I have been having issues with my Ender 3 Pro bed for the last week or more, and watching your method of leveling with the hot bed worked like a charm. Still have some work to do on it, but at least I can print again!
My Ender 3 has a warped bed and I have been SO frustrated trying to get any high quality prints off of it. (I'm new to this whole 3D printing thing). This was very helpful and straightforward without getting lost in the weeds of all the crazy things a lot of other people do to their Ender 3s.
Keep your old bowden tubes for extrusion tests. Cut them at desired extrusion length, insert them wherever you want to take the measurement...making sure the end is up against a stable piece of the printer, make the filament, run the test, then move the tube out of the way and take a measurement from the stable piece to your mark. Economical and makes measuring filament easier. I have a 100mm section just for extrusion testing.
Holy shit I’m seeing this 2 years later but this is soooooo smart, thanks
finally a no nonsense upgrade video without any fancy stuff and straight to the point. loved it and thanks, keep doing more. cheers
I’m very glad to hear that!
My used ender 3 had the extruder broken when I bought it. I just change it for the same one in this video and I'm now ready to try printing something! It is your videos that have me confidence to buy a 3d printer. You explain very well and it is all useful! Thx!
Thanks I've been looking for this video! 🤙🏼
Ditch the bed springs. Get the silicone spacers instead. Springs allow sideways wobble and are harder to adjust.
I absolutely love this video man it might be an older one but for a Newbie Original Ender 3 owner like myself this video is perfect man! And greatly appreciated thanks for sharing bro! 😎✌️
Hey brother, exciting news, I just purchased my first 3d printer and this video is awesome! I will be doing these upgrades as well. Once again thanks for the tips. Cant wait to print out my project!
Yessss! That’s awesome man!
Thanks for the video. I've found the tube cutter that comes with the Capricorn does not cut it flat. To cut the bowden tube square, use the base of the coupler instead. Put it in the coupler and use your blade to chop it off flat at the bottom of the coupler.
More great noob info. My used Ender 3 already had an upgraded metal extrusion “clamp”, bed springs and a glass plate. Bingeing your vids is helping drive me up the learning curve.
I love the tool holder.
Great video mate, very informative. I've had my ender3 for about the same time (2 yrs) and before I had watched your video I had ordered the same metal extruder. Lol Good to know to keep the larger coupling for the metal extruder.
When I first heard of upgrading a printer I didn't exactly understand how beneficial it was and which ones were best, but now I do. I'm definitely going to try some of these out on my own Ender 3.
Good!
This video is fantastic everything works thanks
Thanks for this video. I just upgraded my extruded to an all metal after having several print failures.
PERFECT timing!! My metal extruder gets delivered today! ...I like that magnetic bed! I switched to glass about 6 months ago and haven't really had any issues with it...but options are great! :-)
Nice.
I legitimately just got my 3d printer 3 weeks ago and my biggest issure is getting the bed leveled and my sensor keeos on grinding which messes it up so thanks for reviewing this. Def gonna get upgrades
I got my Ender 3s built yesterday and I've been having a huge fight with them when it comes to levelling. Even though the corners were levelled, after a lot of crappy tests, I levelled the corners again, then checked the center and I can't even get the paper underneath between the nozzle and build plate :(.
So either the build plate is warped, or what I'm thinking is that the clips are pressing down the corners making them fine when levelling but then the center is raised.
I'm going to get these upgrades and the bed you mentioned in a different video and hopefully that will fix it.
thanks for the video just getting into 3d printing. i also picked up a used ender 3 v2 and the person put rubber bushings for the bed springs should i get the upgraded springs or stay with the rubber bushings.
This is perfect! I just got one and want to upgrade it
Perfect!
@@FranklyBuilt Love your videos
Very good video! I hope you’re getting some sponsorship from creality
The random zip tie cut scared me lol 😂
Amazing
the magnet is directional...yes it will hold in any direction but it will be stronger in 2 of the positions and weaker in the other 2...and the magnet is strong enough that it will destroy your print before shifting the bed...
Sir what is the 3D printed upgrade to Ender 3 (3D printed Part) like 3d printed fan silencer
Thank yo so much!
Hey I have an ender 3 and decided to upgrade and I watch all your videos. I bought all the items you did for upgrades and tried to follow this video to get have mine match this video.When it comes to leveling my bed I have the bed at the lowest and I've tried leveling 3 times but my nozzle still scrapes the built plate any suggestions
My tube comes with a cutter should I just use that instead of a knife
GOOD ONE 😄
why does my extruder motor gear looks different and doesn't come out?
I put locknuts on the bottom of my bed screws. They kept turning. I lost a little bit of height. But feel happier with out them turning.
Do you have any other suggestions for the magnetic flex bed? It looks like that version is no longer carried
If you search amazon for CR10 or ender magnetic build plate they still come up
I use the stock magnetic buildplate on an ender 3 pro and i level and clean the bed everytime and it will not stick to the bed for the life of me and i dont know why
I just started binging some of your videos and am going to buy a ender 3. What brand of filament do you use?
Esun mono price sunlu overture
@@FranklyBuilt thank you for such a fast response! And thank you for inspiring me to start this hobby!
Should we hear the scraping of the paper?
Should the nozzle scrape the paper hard and should I hear the scraping? I just want to be just write
The gear on my stepper motor is pressed on ?
Sir what are the 3D printed upgrade you recommend for Ender 3
All metal extruder and Capricorn Bowden tube
I've bought the upgrade kit and put the new springs on but its too high. The springs are fully compressed and when I auto home the nozzle hits the bed. How do I fix this?
I moved the limit switch up slightly so home position is higher
A lot of your links are out of date. They're producing 404s on Amazon.
Can you do one for the ender 3 v2?
Sorry I have another question. When I use a certain PLA filament I have to zero really tight just to get bed adhesion. Any suggestions?
derek750 no idea haha I stopped having adhesion issues when I got magnetic beds
Depends on what surface you have. But the biggest issues can be that the bed isn't level enough or that it isn't clean enough
Thanks @Aggronn. Factory Ender 3 surface. It only happens with this one filament.
@@derek750 clean it with a little bit of soap and water, let it try, relevel the bed, first layer a bit higher in temperature and no part cooling fan on for the first layer
@@aggronn awesome sounds like great advice. I really appreciate it. 🤙🏼
Looking at this now should i buy this one and print this or buy the V2
V2
Do you print with abs or pla, if abs is it better to print with a magnetic bed or glass bed?
PLA+
@@FranklyBuilt interesting thanks!
The magnetic bed isn't available atm, i got one from Amazon and it isn't as strong as yours, what should I do? How do I know that the next one I buy would be stronger?
Try reordering, it's been 2 years.
Amazon has a Ender 3 for 279. Can this printer print an entire suit like your Ironman. Thank you. Your video is very informative
That’s very expensive for an Ender 3. Keep shopping, they shouldn’t be more the. $200. But also I don’t recommend using it to make a suit. You’ll have to cut up the files a lot more
What printer did you use to print you Ironman suit?
Creality cr-10s
@@FranklyBuilt thank you
Have you considered using a direct drive extruder?
James Mauch yep. Not a fan. I’ve never seen a valuable difference or benefit between them. I’ll use whatever it comes with but IMO it’s not worth swapping
Me as an adult after playing with Lego's as a child:
Dumb question
Do you have the list of materials that you used?
For what? The suit? It’s all listed through my MK85 build. Working on a master list in the discord
please update these links
also a 3d printing youtuber
-_- Nice vid. No, the clips arent needed. nice place to store em. but youll never experience movement with this mag bed. impossible.
whyyy, tell them what happens when you convert to a all metal extruder , better yet a dual drive . Don't you think these company's know what to put on them , should have let my first one stock
Ender just released the LGBT friendly woke printer, the Rear Ender
