Creality Ender 3 V3 PLUS Setup Guide, Tips, Upgrades, Review and More!

[@Mnelissen1968]

WoW, when you think it can't get any better in a review video, you see this video. From A to Z perfect explanation, attention to details and throughout the whole video remarks that make sense. Then you have all the recommendations throughout the video, also explained in detail. For me, this has to be the new standard in doing a review of any product. And I was looking for a review of this printer, and you answered every thinkable question anyone could have about this printer in one video! Great job sir!

[@EmbraceMaking]

Wow, thanks! Hope you come back for more :) I have more printer videos on the way and maybe one day Bambu Lab will send me an X1C 😀

I've been running a Ender 3 Pro for years, now I have one of these and its incredible

[@EmbraceMaking]

With the latest Creality Print 5.1 it's been a great addition for me

[@garyladd1444]

Same! Big leap ahead thats for sure.

[@samyakbhalani8912]

Amazingly detailed video!!

I will check your recent videos to see if you've covered more about the bed mesh issue. I have 2 of Ender 3 V3 Plus printers. I actually love them! But, one shows the bed mesh as being very level, and the other one is literally opposite to yours, in that the left side is lower (blue) and the right side is higher. On that higher side, there's also a bit of a peek in the middle of the mesh (highest point). At that point, Z is about 0.45. I'm not sure if that's bad or not. I've run the input shaping and bed leveling a few times, in 2 experiments, one with the plate textured side up and the other, smooth side up. No difference in the mesh. As I'm totally new to Creality machines and especially the design of this one, I'm not sure where to even start to resolve this. As for the prints, what got me to even look at the bed mesh, was that the 1st layer has some consistent "waves" in it. But once a few layers are laid down, the end result does seem to smooth out some. Again, since these printers are new to me and they don't have the lead screw to adjust things, I'm not sure about checking the belt tensions. For one thing, I have no way, other than feel, to know if the tension is the same on both. Any ideas??

Hi! What is the name of the extension cable that you use to move the runout sensor? I have been trying to find one on ebay to no avail.

[@EmbraceMaking]

They are jst-xh connectors, 3 pin

[@HajjiLove]

@@EmbraceMaking thank you so much for replying 😊

[@TT-KAT]

I have both the 3v3 and the plus and have seen much better results using creality filament

[@EmbraceMaking]

I had the same results as seen in this video - the Hyper PLA was the best on this machine

[@kerbaman5125]

I could not find the stl for the fake runout sensor in your links, could you please add it to the makerworld pages for the V3 and V3 Plus? Edit: it's there when you go to download individual files

[@EmbraceMaking]

Hey if you click the download STL file in maker world you'll see it's already in the individual part list: makerworld.com/en/models/499405#profileId-415093 I just need to update the picture on the listing as it still only shows the original two parts. Thanks!

[@kerbaman5125]

@@EmbraceMaking Thanks, I was unfamiliar with makerworld's interface

[@daniellefourie]

the dummy sensor runout guide where can we find that file please? i just one of these but am based in south africa so cannot buy as shipping is beyond expensive

[@EmbraceMaking]

Check the STL files here: makerworld.com/en/models/499405#profileId-415093 It is not in the pictures but I added it to the files, thanks!

[@bts_rcsandstuff5973]

I had the crappie print the first 3 prints but I think it burns the chemicals on the nozzle and whatever and prints better because when I replaced the hot-end I got crappie prints again in till it broke in

[@hirodaniels9645]

I am abit late to reply to this, but between this printer, the Ender 3 KE, and the BambuLabs A1, whouch would you personally recommend to someone who it just starting out their FDM 3D printing journey. I have been looking around and these 3 have caught my eyes.

[@bjbbiker]

The bottom right of my screen just says slice plate or print plate. there isnt a LAN printing option. do I have to toggle it on somewhere? I tried to go to the help and type in a topic but it just pulls up MACos help articles. thanks

[@EmbraceMaking]

If you look at that green button in the bottom right corner, you should see an arrow on the right side of the button. Click the arrow to get the other options like LAN, export to local, etc.

[@bjbbiker]

@@EmbraceMaking ya no LAN option, even while monitoring a print. just upload, export, print etc. thanks for the help though.

[@TT-KAT]

Does the sensor runout holder come in the hardware pack with the filament stand and if not where can it be found

[@EmbraceMaking]

All of the printable accessory parts like runout sensor holder specific for the V3 PLUS shown in this video can be found here: makerworld.com/en/models/499405#profileId-415093 and you can find links to other printable parts for other applications here: embracemaking.com/blogs/resources/universal-top-mount-spool-stand-accessories-and-adapters Thanks!

[@JasonReady]

What is the cable power extender extension needed to reach the filament sensor? I'm just looking for the cable

[@ammarfaisal4789]

Amazing

[@EmbraceMaking]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gcmehojah]

Honestly I don't know why anyone buys Creality's products at this point? So many better options out there.

[@crusader-hcq]

Honestly I don't see what qualifies you to speak so if you haven't even used all yourself. V3 Plus is awesome for me

[@gcmehojah]

@@crusader-hcq I had an Ender 3 v2 and it was nothing but a nightmare, thank you very much.

[@Streberfpv]

@@gcmehojahyeah same. Got the v3 plus and it is a huge step up. Print speed is insane

[@garthen73]

Ender 3 Pro owner here and the main reason for going with the V3 plus was because I’ve had such a positive experience with my ender 3 Pro… I may be an exception, but it’s been a great printer. With that said, I just ordered the V3 plus so we’ll see how it goes

[@elsap75]

@@gcmehojah I have an Ender 3 MAX and it works well.
