    The Ender 3 is one of the most popular printers of 2018 with a very large user base available online at websites like Reddit, Facebook, and TH-cam, all filled with resources which help to improve the experience for a new user or an experienced hobbyist.
    New design features improve upon the wildly successful Ender 3 model 3D printer. Improvements to the Y axis improve stability, and the alteration of the control box unit move the fan to the bottom of the unit, no longer under the print bed.
    Our all new magnetic bed surface for easy model removal is included stock on the Ender 3 Pro. Easily remove the magnetic print surface from the hotbed and remove models with no spatula or razor necessary.
    The brand name Meanwell power supply delivers more power with a stable output ensuring the temperature fluctuations are minimized, especially during long and intensive prints. Heat the hotbed faster and to higher temperatures before making the Ender 3 Pro a much better option for printing ABS and other high temperature high strength filaments.

    @17:07 I believe every 3D printer has a human sensor, to detect when you have left the vicinity so that it knows it's time to knock your print free from the print bed. My sensor seems to be 100% functional, as no print has EVER failed in my presence and yet EVERY print has failed when I've left my printer unattended.

      Any idea how to give prints as best a possible chance of remaining on the print bed as opposed to breaking away part through prints please? Am a newbie and am really struggling with this. Thought bed levelling was enough of a nightmare never mind prints breaking away from the print bed. Tried different print beds and glue sticks without avail. Understand that there's adhesive sprays that are available but they are quite expensive from what's understood however I'd make the investment should these be highly recommend. Also believe hair spray can help with adhesion. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    you can buy the PSU just search amazon or whatever for MEAN WELL LRS-350-24 that is the PSU you want.
    you can also replace the fan in that PSU 60x60x10mm fan get a quiet one to make it less noisey (its a 12v fan!! not 24v the PSU down converts to 12v for its own fan)
    for the feeder that bolt is exactly the problem. too tight too much friction. loosen it a smidge and it will be fine. and yes the aluminum one is so much nicer.
    also your over extruding a tiny bit lower your flow rate or extrusion multiplier 2 points. (95%-96% or .95-.96 usually works well)
    I also think you have some binding (that is the bulging you see in the middle all of your benchy's have it)
    make sure the right hand vertical gantry is not too tight (loosen till it wobbles then retighten only enough to stop it from wobbling) also loosen the screws holding the brass pushing around the lead screw in place in the left vertical gantry. raise it to the top then retighten it "just a little" to snug it not really tight. that should take care of any lead screw offset.
    that last benchy is pretty darned nice.
    while this is not guarenteed to work you can try this to improve the giant trash bin print. run multi process print the bottom 3 or 4 layers normally then when it gets to the spiral increase the flow rate on the printer to 150% it will make .6mm walls and they will resist warping a little more.
    BTW those first layers NOT BAD for a full platen build !!!
    and you just made a lot of people giddy with their peeling fetishes with that peel off their :-)

  • @Maltesaa
    @Maltesaa 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think that one of the reasons for the warping on the cube, is the print cooling fan. Because the walls are so thin, when the fan blows air on the print, it slightly moves the wall and creates the waving/ warping effect.

    The full metal extruder assembly (dual gear or the single) is really nice I like it very much. I have a full metal dual gear version on my Ender3, but I really recommend everyone who upgrade from the factory one, to recalibrate the e-steps and the flow rate properly.
    If you upgrade to the 1.1.5 "Silent Board" you don't have to use the smoothers & it's makes the stepper motors silent while printing so you don't have to worry about the noise at night, especially if the printer is relatively close to the place where you sleep or rest.

The better ones are Chrome weather black where the Bowden tube goes in they are the better wants to use we have found.

    The aluminium extruder has a special way to build it. You have to put a hex bolt into the spring and you use the bolt to push on it and spring to give more tension. It allows adjustment, where as the way you did it gives no adjustment and the spring is loose.

  • @trakaiszeks
    @trakaiszeks 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fun fact: The amount of yellow filament means that your bowden tube is not all the way in on the hot end. That creates additional stress on the feeder and the heating element and causes additional extrusion issues as you technically end up with a small compression chamber of hot filament that ends up acting like a damper. You need to open it up, heat it to 200c and push the bowden tube in to line up with the edge of the nozzle socket, maybe a bit more through even and when you tighten the nozzle down it will push the bowden tube back a bit. That will eliminate the chamber!

    I also replaced my extruder mechanism with the red aluminum one you used, and ended up having problems where that threaded hole for a coupler was chewing on all the incoming filament and leaving tiny dust particles of old filament in my new filament. There wasn't enough room to screw in a coupler so I fixed it by superglueing a very small length of ptfe tube in the hole to cover the threads.

    You should print a camera bracket to fix the camera to the printer for when you are filming upgrades, I like the look of that extruder upgrade but will soldier on with the existing part until it causes me some problem

    You need to replace the stock extruder gear assembly immediately. The stock assembly is just barely good enough to get off a couple of prints.
    Within a week, mine cracked at the pivot screw. Making it impossible for the spring to hold tension and causing the filament to get trapped underneath the bearing.
    A metal extruder assembly, even a dual drive assembly, is only like 15-20$. So just order it with the printer. You can even find sets that come with the upgraded capricorn tubing for an extra $5 so might as well get that too. Useful for long prints. I melted the stock tube trying a 17h print at 210° PLA

    Really enjoyed this video Vlad, really nice upgrades, I would also put the diode upgrade on the Z axis as I noticed that you manually push the drive motors with them plugged in when you are levelling, having the diodes in circuit will prevent you damaging the drive board so as like many folks manually move the Z axis its worth fitting the diode board to it, really like the bin, I thought that was the design, it looks better like that, very impressive and a lovely filament.
    Thanks for taking the time to make the video, I often find people with no creative ability to make their own videos are often critical of others, ignore people telling you to clip your nails and stuff like that, nails are useful for cleaning up your prints :-)

    - PTFE capricorn
    - and change fan support for hero me Gen2 support
    This upgrades are very efficient.

    wow. I also have an Ender 3 pro, but with the standard magnetic bed I was never able to print large, because there is a dent in the middle of the heated bed. Even with a glass plate from a local glass shop I cant print on the hole size :( But i haven't got any issues with the printer itself and I already have it for about a year now :D also I fried the original mainboard when I installed a new quiet fan for the heatsink, after that I bought a Creality silent mainboard. The motors got really quiet. I can really recomemnd the silent mainboard :)

    Короче, рассказываю про ендер3 (не про). свежие (декабрь 2018 - настоящее время) идут:
    а) с резинкой на экструдере.
    б) с посаженными зубчатыми колесами на моторы, их не подвинуть. а это затрудняет установку всяких резиновых\пробковых демпферов.
    tl-smoothers бесполезны на принтерах этой конструкции, т.к. поверхность один хрен недостаточно гладкая, выбрать разницу можно снизив ширину слоя в софте (для сопла 0.4 можно поставить ширину 0.38 и получить такой же результат, как на видео). эти приблуды нужны ТОЛЬКО для дельта принтеров (reprap KOSSEL для примера), там профит виден очень хорошо.
    магнитный стол - тема, всем советую. но необходимо понимать, что греть его выше 60 - вообще не стоит, превратится в немагнитный стол.

Have you noticed that with your ender 3 pro? Thanks.

    TL smoothers from Triangle labs are the best 8 diode one i dones not matter how u connect tl smother both ways work the same aso flow goes into both directions :) to get good result su need install TL smoothers on all axis XYZE, and if yours print someday will warping especialy on long parts and have not good adhesion even if magnetic sheet good okay clean it with dishwasher liquid with warm water two times with your hand rubbing surface :)

  • @Atimar01
    @Atimar01 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    you put a diode print in the stepper line to smooth the print and it works....
    basically the print puts a bunch of diodes in the power lines to the stepper.
    this makes it that the stepper gets around 2 volts less than normal.
    i had the same line thing on my old vertex, and according to the manual you could just adjust the current of the steppers on the driver boards and that worked very well.
    try it, listen to the sound your stepper makes with the diodes
    than the same without, and adjust the pot on the driver until it sounds about the same.
    then test for stepper max speed and stopping power so you don't lose steps in operation.
    i bet you can get better results adjusting the drivers than stealing 2 volts from them.
    this way you can actually choose for more speed or even less noise ;)

    • @SerenaFate
      @SerenaFate 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a different "problem" these diodes are fixing. The DRV8825 are simply are poor choice for 3D printers as they were built for higher torque steppers and are "missing" some of their microsteps. IIRC it was only four steps out of 32 or something like that. It doesn't really miss anything, it's just not microstepping in that small area, because the minimum output of the DRV8825 is 12% of the max output. Each diodes drops about 0.7V, so in total 1.4V per motor phase which basically forces the driver to output more and always do the desired microstepping.
      For cartesian printers the effect is not that noticable, it might be visible on round surfaces and does make the machine a bit quieter, but doesn't improve much. It's really only necessary for delta printers as it causes visible artifacts even in straight faces on them.
      Coincidentially I also have this mod in a Vertex (but built it myself, no "Smoothers" commercially available back then). It is different from the voltage adjustment in the manual. I actually still run in like that because it refuses to die. :D
      But the real solution is to simply avoid those DRV8825 and go with something like TMC2xxx or similar.
      It does not do anything for different stepper drivers, so a lot of people that bought those boards just wasted their money.

    You should print in the same black color. With my own printer, I have found differences in print quality where the only thing that is changed is the color of the filament. Since your first one was black, I'd suggest using the same kind of black filament again.

  • @ahaveland

    My Ender extruder was underextruding periodically and this was because the gear was slipping in the same place every rotation. The spring wasn't strong enough.
    I fixed this by adding washers to the spring nubs, then the stepper started skipping steps - fixed this by increasing the current by tweaking the pot on the E stepper driver on the board and increasing the reference voltage on it to about 0.85V. Now runs sweet.
    Also important, remind everyone to check the XT60 power connector for the defective crimped batch that overheats and replace with a proper pair. Mine melted a hole in the foam on the table it was sitting on!
    It doesn't help that it's mostly out of sight, so its difficult to know there's a problem until it's too late.

    For the z-axis mount, the way my motor came screwed to the mount, it would have had the cable connector facing toward the back the way you assembled yours. In the assembly instructions, the connector on the motor faces in towards the table, so I unscrewed it from the mount and re-positioned it so it looked like the picture and it seems to fit the way it should. You may not need to print the new z axis mount / replace the other one if you rotate your motor 90 degrees.
