Constraining the z-rod like that might be a very bad idea, basically these printers were designed for it to be unconstrained, if your rod is not straight then that is because either it's bend or held in place wrong and there can be several place where it can be held wrong.

A Z rod guide is never a good idea. A slight wobbling is usually not an issue but if you force that wobble through a guide, it will definitely end up showing itself in your prints. Just let it wobble as long as the steps are OK

[@bobh0905]

And yet Creality sell an attachment to do exactly that.

[@vogurt99]

@@bobh0905 Creality also sells the product that ‘needs’ it. They are selling the problem and solution

[@nytem979]

@@bobh0905 The ones creality sell do not do exactly that. I have the creality ones as they came with my Dual Z-axis kit for my 3 Pro, The ones printed in the video are a solid stiff piece of plastic that forces the rod into a position. The creality ones have a bearing inside that can actually move around, they are held in place by springs on the inside I believe, but they are just light enough that the rod can push the spring if it needs to. It keeps them straight with wiggle room, printed ones do not and could damage the rod that way.

[@bobh0905]

@@nytem979 The printed ones I've seen have a hole for a bearing.

[@nytem979]

@@bobh0905 yeah but what I was trying to say was that the bearing can be moved around by the rod on the inside of the creality one, the printed ones keep the bearing in a static place

[@TheNewBloodDan]

The bubble leveler serves no prupose. You tram the printer, not level it. The grip handle reduced your max build height. Idk why you stopped at the z extrusions for the slot covers. The z rod stabilizer is iffy. Everything else is nice.

[@dreadn]

Push the Y axis up and down with your hands and you will find that not having a double Z axis gives the bubble leveler some sense. It's only a monitoring sensor, just in case you're finding strange values in bed tramming, and you understand that the problem is Y axis level.

[@Joshuadomiel]

the z stepper spacer is only needed if you have misaligned motors, which were common in the original ender 3 v1s. It might do more damage to Ender 3 v2's

[@TriMeX1987]

Yes though I gotta say mine needed a really small shim of 1mm behind the motor.

[@BrandonHog]

When assembled (correctly), my z-axis drive screw was not parallel with the vertical riser. I carefully sanded about .015" off of one edge of the z-axis stepper bracket to make it align. That bracket appears to be flawed, and it's a flimsy attachment. Once the drive screw was properly aligned, the printer worked well. I am considering trying those printed shims (although I'm not having print problems now). It seems like an improvement.

[@brett567]

Yeh don't print spacers for a stepper that regularly reaches upto 95-100°c. What a stupid suggestion

[@brokestudent8548]

@@brett567 I think that your stepper might just need it if it reaches 95-100°

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

A simpler solution would be replacing the rigid coupler for a flexible one.

To the content creator and anyone else watching, 04:15 to 04:30, do NOT ever do this. This will damage your Z axis rod.

@@urgamecshk it “destroys” it by constraining it. Constraining it for too long will eventually cause stress bends, especially if you’re continuously printing tall prints, and even more so if you have direct drive. A bent rod is useless and is considered “destroyed”.

I started printing around a month ago and 1 thing I absolutely recommend to use for the bed are dial locks. I found a file for them on thinigiverse my first week of printing bc I instantly got tired of dealing with the bed. I have not had to level it again in about 2-3 weeks. Every print first layer is perfect as long as bed is clean. I never see any channel or anybody suggest them. Is there a downside to using them?

[@collinwarner8917]

hey, there shouldn't be a downside as the bed dials shouldn't rotate. As long as they don't interfere with any moving part you will be good. (p.s. can you send that link, I have been looking for one)

the very first thing you should do to an ender 3 v2 is to print a new PSU cover. you can see at 1:58 the big plate at the bottom of the machine that has some missalligned slots for the fan but **NO** vents for the air to go anywhere. under the black aluminum plate there are vents that are completely covered up by the black plate. remove that if you don't want your printer to go up in flames one day lol

For the filament guide, I can't get it to spin as you have it. What are the settings that you have for it?

[@sharkkord]

for me the most important upgrade that i actually had to make was the spacer for the z axis motor, when i assembled mine, the assembly could only go up for a little and then it would start grinding and then get stuck, as soon as i put a spacer on for the motor i had zero issues

[@raymonschepers994]

Nice that you have made a list with all of the links included man! Thanks for sharing.

[@RufusVidS]

Terrific video. I will probably only use a couple of the items though: The bed pull, and the dial knob with "wings" for speedy scrolling. I moved my filament roll to the side of my printer, so it feeds directly into the extruder, so I don't need a filament guide. Rather than the side storage bin, I'll probably build a camera mount there.

[@guillebel7]

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

The first upgrade is useless. The Ender 3 v2 comes with a drawer already. Why would you add more of them when you could just print dividers for the one that came with the printer? The grip is also questionable. If you want a handle, print a handle. You should never grab a printer by the inner part of the gantry. For the feet, if you're not printing them out of flexible filament, you're wasting your time replacing the stock ones. The most useful things you could upgrade the 3v2 for would be the stiffer sprints, the BL Touch or CR Touch sensors, PEI Build sheet and replace the stock firmware with the Jyers one. If you replace the screen for the touch one, you essentially have a CR SE.
