I have received feedback regarding not squaring the frame on a table top, which absolutely agree with. I squared my frame on glass table top because i was not able to afford granite offcuts for the squaring. The correct way is to sqaure the frame on top a granite offcut or granite kitchen top.
Best practice is a flat granite block, but use what you have or can afford. Just check your surface for flatness, and your assembled parts for squareness. That’s the best you can do right now.
This was a satisfying build to watch! Your printed parts were super clean, your printer color scheme was nice, and the videography wasn’t bad.
I hope you see success and keep making good videos. You got a sub from me. 😁👍🏼
@@adamromer3691 Thanks for the feedback and motivating words, they really mean a lot. Thanks for the sub, cheers!
Good build. There is always a couch expert who is going to tell you what to do. Yes, the safe to recommend option for the general public is granite kitchen top. Not everyone can afford to splash money just to buy a granite top to square their 3d printer frame. You did a good job with what you had
Thank you for the video! I am slowly doing the switchwire conversion on my ender 3 Pro and I was looking for such a tutorial. You do a great job at explaining it! Keep up the good work! Definitely following this series! :)
Glad I could help! Thanks for all the support and love.
Great video, thanks ! I am in the planning phase of the sale conversion, your video is really helpful, and well done
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
kudos on printed parts and building patience...want to embark on same journey and you have simplified it for me....
Nicely done. I know lot of people were waiting for this build. Kudos
Thanks! Very happy to hear people will find this heplful.
Just WOW! This was a very professional build. Great work and now I have to build mine :)
Damn, glad to hear that it looks professional, i tried my best! Have fun building yours!
Great video! I am modding my Ender 3 v2 to all linear rails and this gave me a good idea of what to expect. Thanks a ton.
Glad you found it helpful.
I just started building this with my ender 3 max and saw your video, great timing
Already looking better than some of the things "professional" engineers are making and selling that I have bought. Great work.
This means a lot as a maker and glad you liked the video. Cheers!
That's the power of community. Get 5,000 passionate people behind a project and you get awesome results!
Your video is super good. You are not fast and slow able to get good understanding keep going. Am also planning to migrate my Ender-3 to SwitchWire.
The mod i am using is for Ender 3 Pro or Ender 3 V2. Be sure before going with this.
thank you for this video man even this old into the switchwire video and there still is not alot of good videos explaining it! THANK YOU!!!
Glad you liked it!
Great series by the way man. Very good and nicely done for me I will be using this a lot for build.
Thanks mate. Glad you liked the series.
Thanks for the clear concise video and instructions. I will be doing the same with an E3V2 which I understand is the same as the pro.
Glad you found it helpful. ✨
nice video, looking forward to next one.
Yes, that's why mentioned about it's orientation in the video. You can have a look at the CAD of the printer in the Github repo.
AWESOME. Thanks for sharing, I'll start sourcing this and try it myself sometime this year :)
Have fun! 😊
I'm in the process of doing someting similar, although it's from my own modificagtions to Triano's usermod as I hadn't found this.
The Y beam needs to be mounted very rigidly or you have resonance issues when you come to do input shaper, It's best to drill and tap new holes for the rear screws, failing that use the beefiest slide-in T-nuts you can find. Twist in ones just don't grip enough of the extrusion to get a good result.
I'm just cadding up a motor mount that turns the pulley around and mounts the nmotor further inward to enable the use of a 48mm stepper. The creality ones are very feeble so I orderd some E3D/motech steppers of similar spec to the 0.9 degree 48mm LDOs that Voron reccomends and they don't fit.
Thanks for making this video. Every switchwire build video I've seen was 99.9% talking and .1% building. This is straight to the point. My brain can digest this.
At 30:00 what filiment is that? It seems to have a granular pearl effect.
Thanks man! Glad you liked the video. The filament is eSun ABS+ but the first layer twinkles due the textured PEI sheet i am using.
This is great! I'm most likely going to convert my V2, so this will help.
Glad I could help!
Gives me confidence to try this. Time to get my abs prints calibrated :)
Why not! Go for it 🙌🏽
Love this video, gives me confidence to convert my ender 3 v2 to switch wire too
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Great work, you motivated me to uprgade mine as well.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.
Finally .. i wait for so long, thank you so much for your afford
Glad you found it helpful.
What a great build and printed parts
Thanks.
Lovely video, really clear. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! Thanks for the amazing video. Really high quality and will definitely help out in my build. I was wondering which foot version you printed yourself, also if you could link where you got the rail aligners(printed ones) that would be really helpful. Thanks a lot.
Hello. Thanks for the warm words and appreciate your support. The printed foot i am using are linked in the description of part-1. Regarding the rail guides(aligners), i have hosted them in my HN_Switchwire Github repo: github.com/Kruze17/HN_Switchwire
Man, you deserve a lot more views ... I'd like to find the same thing like that for cr 10 s ...
Thanks for the kind words. A little difficult for CR 10s, but you can try. Some people have modded their CR 10 into Switchwire. Hop into Voron discord server for help and suggestions.
Nicely done - I assume ABS parts? Very very nice video
Yes, eSun ABS+ to be specific.
What a fine work - linear rails are on my wish-and-todo-list for my cr6se and also my very cheap tronxy xy2pro, which now brings me the best results after changing to directextruder and second z-axe (see my channel). This fine work forces me to press your subscribebotton - greetings to india from germany. 40years ago I had a quality-management trainer from india and you also shows us how it works - Thanks!
So happy that you loved the videos. Thanks for the warm words. Greetings from India!
Great video! Are all the printed parts made using ABS on the ender 3 pro?
Yes! I tuned the printer properly befor printing my parts. I used eSun ABS+ for the parts.
Beside the esun abs+ what did you use( pimary and alternate ) and the colors
what type and size of idler bearing do you use for the y axis tensioner? I am planning to replace my y axis tensioner ender 3 v2 like the one you are using
are skirts and decks just to make it look tidy? can they be skipped? relaxing and informative video.
Yes, they give a proper look to the printer. If you want, you can skip them. One thing though, the rear skirt mounts the IEC plug and a 6020 fan. So maybe think for an alternative for their assembly before ditching the rear skirt.
I see skirts and deck also useful for enclosure th-cam.com/video/KucYBmTORx8/w-d-xo.html
I drilled and tapped two additional holes to mount the Y axis 4040 rail with the original screws. I had the metric 5x1.0 tap and the #19 drill so why not? To mark where the holes had to be drilled I inserted a drill bit into the holes and spun it by had to make a mark, then put the Y axis rail on the drill press and made the holes.
Hey! Have a question about the "Unofficial BOM", has anything changed since the making of this video and also, where it says "Updated according to Ender_SW BOM", does this mean that quantities in the excel sheet have already been altered?
Probably not. What i meant by "Updated according to Ender_SW BOM" is that i have updated all the quantities of the fastners in the excel sheet according to the ENDER_SW CAD file. You can directly follow the BOM i have provided.
@@HyperMakes Perfect, getting everything setup to start ordering bolts, inserts, etc.
NICE. I'm assuming you sourced all the extra parts domestically? If yes would you mind sharing a few links? :3
Not all but most of the parts. The list will be very long. Can you be specific about what parts you want to know? Or else you can join Voron india discord server for quest regarding sourcing.
how can i join the discord group?
Hello. What percenrage of infill did you use for the printed parts?
Standard Voron specs. Infill percentage: 40%
Would you know the length of the M5 screw required if using t-nuts for the y extrusion?
I am not able to understand. Do you mean for the re-adjustment of Y-extrusion? If yes, then you will need M5X10 SCHS bolts.
can you share slicer setting you used to print voron SW abs part? i really want to modify my ender 3 v2 to switchwire.
First you need to make sure that your printer is correctly tuned in. Then you can follow the Voron PIF specifications to print your ABS parts. Here is the slicer settings i followed: docs.vorondesign.com/sourcing.html#print-settings
Most supplies ship the MGH rails with the carriages already mounted. You should NOT remove them, just install the rails and slide the carriages back and forth as needed to insert the screws. Also you did not show the application of grease to the rails and carriages, this should be done. If the carriages are shipped removed from the rails, they should come with a protective insert to keep the balls from falling out. When mounting the carriages to the rails, slowly slide the insert off as the carriages are inserted onto the rails. Keep these inserts to reverse the process if it is necessary to remove the carriages from the rails.
What type of filament did you use for the parts? ABS?
Yes, ABS. eSun ABS+ to be precise.
Hi where can i get the stl of the spacers from the grill? At Minute 23:50??? Thx and the modified grills too?
Hello. There is a new version released by the author "Rev.2". Please use the updated stl files as these spacers are no longer needed in the revised version. Still, if you want the old spacers. You have to manually download the v1.0 release package from the releases section in the GitHub repository: github.com/boubounokefalos/Ender_SW/tree/v1.0
I looked at the BOM ender 3 SW, are M8x16 bolts needed?
No, they are not needed. I will update the bom.
did you cut down the x to 310mm and is that from the front or the back
Yes. I had to cut down the x extrusion to 310mm. I just measured the length from one side and cut the rest that is not required.
how long x axis aluminum profile are you using?
310 mm for my mod.
4020 vertical z-axis frame in my ender 3 v2 not square how do make it square while only using 2 bolts at the bottom?
You will need a tri-square for that or any kind of right angle tool.
Cant your share linear rail guide tools align?
It's on my printer's Github page. Anyways here's a direct link: github.com/Kruze17/HN_Switchwire/tree/main/Rail%20Guides
thanks
You are welcome!
Where to find all neededs to do that bro ? :)
I have an ender 3 pro... I'm really interested in it. But on the repo some files are not available ...
You can find the files from the respective repositories mentioned in my printer's repository. If you are still having problems, mention the files you are not able to get. I will try to help you out in Discord.
@@HyperMakes thanks you man :) I will check
hi, the rail is MGN12H 200mm, correct?
All linear rails are MGN12H 300mm.
What infill did you use in y main carriage please
Default Grid infill.
Hi, This might be a dumb question but I have a Ender 3 Max with a 4.2.2 mainboard, Can I use this same project to convert that to Switchwire also?
Yes, you can.
@@HyperMakes Thank You, Can you please suggest what will be the new lengths of the Linear rails for the 3 axis?
@@Accessgp What is the length of your z axis profiles?
@@HyperMakes I need to measure the entire length but from Print volume I can say it prints 300x300x340mm. Height of the Z frame from bed to inside-top edge 455mm. Trust this helps
@@Accessgp You can go for 400mm or 440 mm at max.
cant your share steper motor x axis and z axis wiring diagram?
I have replied on your first comment.
What is the printing volume compared to the old ender 3
I lost around 15 mm of travel in the x axis and around 30mm travel in the z axis.
When I go into repo I am unable to find the y carried stl could you shed any light on it please.
Can you mention the time stamp for the video, so that it will be easier for me to direct you to the stl you want.
The stl file for y axis was missing on original repo. I’ve found it now. No worries
Where to buy parts or Stl to print them?
You can refer to the github link of my printer, mentioned in the video description for reference. Also you can directly go for the STL files of the printer using this link( Latest Rev2): github.com/boubounokefalos/Ender_SW/tree/Rev.2
Ты КРУТ чувак!!!
Thank you!
Where did you source rails from?
banggood.in
Is this upgrade worth the time ,effort and money
A partial yes. Yes if you wanna follow this conversion as a hobby and wanna learn new things.
part 2 please
It's coming soon. I am sick now. But i will try to release the video this week.
Would it work for regular ender 3?
Yes, you can check out the Gizzle mod for the original Ender 3.
Can you share please wehre you bought all the parts ?
Which parts are you referring to? Hardware, electronics or the printed parts?
@@HyperMakes hardware and electronics pls !
How much is the approximate cost for this upgrade?
Around $250.
@@HyperMakes Oh that's quite a lot. For me that wouldn't be worth considering that I could get one of my dream printers like the Prusa mini or Voron 0 for not much more but it does look really good.
@@ilikecringe Yup.
Out of curiosity how much did this cost
(Not including filament but including all the stuff in pt2)
It cost me around $200 for the conversion, excluding the printed parts.
Thanks
are you the one who actually developed this conversion?
No, i have not designed this. I am just uploading my build as i do it and update with the things i am experiencing while building it.
@@HyperMakes cool, I'm looking to attempt this myself so your videos will be useful!
