Ender 3 Pro to Voron Switchwire Conversion - Part 3

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Man your journey really put me into perspective of how fortunate we are able to get parts much easier in our countries

[@HyperMakes]

It's all good 🙌🏽. Thanks for watching!

[@sabergo1]

Loved the series. I was thinking of the same conversion, but will likely reign in my ambition some. The parts you printed were amazingly clean, would love to see a tutorial on how to get ABS printed like that -- without warping. Thanks!

[@HyperMakes]

Tutorial for Switchwire or Ender 3?😛

[@sabergo1]

Either one! Is ABS without an enclosure easier on the switchwire?

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

Use a glue stick!! Elmer's purple. Since the very first time I used it I havent had a single corner of a part lift up! I use it every print no matter the size of print, it has been 100% effective in eliminating warpage. I was a non believer for a long time too until one day I decided to try it, now I don't start a single print without it.

[@felixpfeiffer6943]

Thank you for your videos! I'm going to SW my Ender 3 Pro in the next days and your work will help me to go throw the built :)

[@felixpfeiffer6943]

Do you also plan to make a video for the wiring of the electronic components, the firmware and Octopi installation?

[@HyperMakes]

Glad that you found it helpful. Have fun building your own switchwire! 😄🙌🏽

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, videos are coming on that topic, so stay tuned. 😉

[@lanypuspasari1868]

I always wait for your videos

[@HyperMakes]

That's the best compliment a creator can hear from his viewers. Thank you so much for the warm words. 😊❤

[@framespersecondfps5256]

Way to go Kruze 👍

[@HyperMakes]

Thanks mate...😄

[@AndyBoij]

Thank you for the videos, very helpful! Are you planning any videos showing the printer in operation?

[@HyperMakes]

You are welcome! Glad the videos are helpful. Yes, i will be showing the printer in action in future videos.

[@younghillionaire]

Amazing videos. Thanks Question regarding toolhead pcb wiring Where does the 24v and 5v wires connect to? MCU?

[@HyperMakes]

You can refer this diagram for the wiring of the old hartk rev3.2 toolboard: github.com/Kruze17/HN_Switchwire/tree/main/ToolheadPCB_crealityv4.2.2%20wiring%20diagram Coming to your questions, yes the 24v wire is connected to the MCU's 24v main input terminal. I don't remember if a 5v input was required for the toolhead pcb.

[@guillorylild]

Nice bro I been waiting for you to drop this video my build been going slowly waiting on the correct length screws for the gantry I originally ordered going off the Orginal switchwire bom and forgot there was a difference also I’m trying to put in a fysetc spider or btt octopus since I have both sitting around not getting used would be since if you made a video on the tool head pcb wiring also what gauge of wire you use for ur bed and did you extend it or replaced the entire thing

[@HyperMakes]

I will be giving some tips regarding wiring and commissioning in part 4, so stay tuned for that. Regarding bed's wiring, i used i used 14 awg wires and extended the bed's wiring.

[@guillorylild]

@@HyperMakes great thanks for the info can’t wait for the next video

[@niketannirghin8644]

Did you print all your parts on the E3 Pro before the conversion? If so, what slicer? Was it direct drive or still Bowden? And lastly will you be able to share slicer settings? Fantastic work man! I've been following your build. It's brilliant.

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, i printed on my E3 pro before conversion. I use SuperSlicer for slicing software. It was printed on bowden extruder system. Yes i will sharing my slicer settings on my switchwire's github repository soon!

[@niketannirghin8644]

Ah that's fantastic! I'd like to do the same conversion, so I want to print ABS on my E3 Pro. So wanted to know your slicer settings before the SW conversion. Thanks for the info man!

[@GeldVerdienenOnline1]

Great video man. Doing the same conversion atm. Still missing some screws, then I can go on. These videos was very helpful for a good assembly. Thank you very much.

[@HyperMakes]

@@GeldVerdienenOnline1 So much love and support from you guys! 🥺 Thank you so much. I am glad that my video was helpful for your build.

[@tsayon13]

I will try to adapt on my biqu B1 + H2 extruder

[@HyperMakes]

Great! Good luck mate.

[@loanlethiminh9312]

I think you replace afterbuner to stealthburner

[@felixpfeiffer6943]

I would like to see that too :)

[@HyperMakes]

The stealthburner was and also is in beta now. I might think of upgrading to stealthburner, but chances are i may not.

[@HyperMakes]

I might do in future... 😉

[@jmsfer]

Thank you friend !! Amazing work!! It's an inspiration video for me. I've already converted my Ender 3 PRO to linear rails, so next step is belted Z, so it becames a SWITCHWIRE :-) I Have two questions, did you print those parts on you Ender 3 ? if so what hotend did you use and what settings ? Thank you again !! so much!! Kudos

[@HyperMakes]

Glad you loved the videos! Yes, the parts were printed on the Ender 3 before conversion. I used the stock creality hotend with Trianglelabs bi-metallic heatbreak. Slicer settings were according to Voron Specifications.

[@yasennichev2889]

You switched from Bl Touch to the Omron Probe, but do you still use the Omron probe or something else? I found that Omron Probe is not reliable enough on my 2.4 and I managed to ruin my build surface with scratches, so I am thinking on trying the Klicky? Voron Tap is not recommended for Switchwire...

[@HyperMakes]

Yup, i am using Quickdraw at the moment. You can go for Klicky. They both work and provide the same percision as long as they use good quality micro switches.

[@yasennichev2889]

@@HyperMakes , perfect, thank you very much for your reply. I will be starting my own journey converting Longer LK4 that is built with 2040 instead of 4040 extrusions to Switchwire, so l am trying to list all the parts that I will need to modify in order to make this to work for my use case and your video is really helpful showing the whole process end to end!

[@fharni]

Can you show how you extend or replace the original cables from the hot bed? How long did you choose them?

[@HyperMakes]

Well, it's very straight forward. I just soldered 14 awg wires to extend the length of bed's wire. I chose around 1 meter length, but its lil bit more. 70 cm would have been the proper length for my build.

[@blabla2441]

M3 Heatset Insert. Can you give me the exact measurements please

[@HyperMakes]

Brass Heat Set Threaded Insert for Plastic - M3x5.1×4.7mm

[@blabla2441]

@@HyperMakes thank you so much!

[@AJayTheStageArtist]

Hi sir may i know where i can buy the gear and parts for the afterburner ? Thanks

[@HyperMakes]

Depends on where you live. You can search online for local suppliers. I can suggest Indian vendors. But I can't talk about other parts of the world. Please join the official voron discord server for knowing about your local vendors.

[@AJayTheStageArtist]

Thanks for reply ? Oh one more question is can we use Clone BMG extruder inside gears instead, coz i saw the gears look quite similar ..

[@HyperMakes]

@@AJayTheStageArtist Yes, you can.

[@Yonbii91]

Wanting to save on could you use the new creality extruder?

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you can. You may need to do some custom connections for the toolhead wiring though.

[@Yonbii91]

@@HyperMakes Thank you very much, last questions. Are the pieces all petg printers? How motherboard a skr mini e3 can fit?

[@HyperMakes]

@@Yonbii91 No. All the printed parts are printed out of ABS filament. PETG has material creep. You can print out of PETG but it is not recommended. The recommended filaments are ABS and ASA.

[@HyperMakes]

@@Yonbii91 Yes, SKR mini e3 can fit as motherboard.

[@logicalpakya609]

hello, please make a sourceing guide , for india , as i am from india and some parts you have shown are quite difficult to get in india. like BMG gear set.

[@HyperMakes]

Maybe in a future video? Stay tuned my friend. 😉

[@lanypuspasari1868]

i really want to modify ender 3 v2 to voron swichwire like you did thanks your video is very helpful. do you have discord chanel?
