Ender 3 Pro Upgrades

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Thanks for watching and here are some upgrades I have done to my Ender 3 Pro kzbin.info/aero/PLTBtpNfJA0Qux1cxPMVrV8hh5q13ApOrP

True, true

[@earthcantholdme1209]

same for me

[@PsychoMantis308]

It's almost like Creality knew people would be printing mods

[@akbarrmd7714]

Well that's mean they really listen to consumer reviews and rants.

[@vbbn8655]

I mean at the same time it’s smart, a lot of these things work perfectly well being printed, and by not including them initially it helps keep the cost of the printer reasonable

[@arikbord2256]

Most of these are actually listed on the Creality website (with links to the thingyverse files) as printable upgrades. My first prints off my machine were a lot of these (namely the cable chain, ribbon clips, Yoda extruder knob, upper guide, and a few other things not on here like a upper z-screw guide and hand crank, bed handle, x and y quick adjustment knobs, and a few other things.

[@thamomentum]

The use of 8020 Extrusion is literally the reason

[@sakurito55]

@@indroneswetrust1 that makes no sense that would increase the price tag plus this are entry level printers anyone can use them and in my opinion is better to start decent enough to print upgrades why? Cause 1 you can personalize it as much as you can, 2 it lets you learn by actually using the thing, plus by you downloading or designing your own part you don’t have to rely on them for new pieces.

[@t_c5266]

I have been using a few of these upgrades and I'll say this: -The upper filament guide while good, wears quickly from the passing filament, wearing a groove into it. It also flexes up and down due to the retraction and loosens in the extruded aluminum. It will have to be reprinted regularly. -the lower filament guide is just a press fit. It also wears quickly, loosening it and now it just falls off of the printer. -The pcb cover does not use stock screws so its useless if you dont have hardware on hand -The power supply baffle restricts airflow and the psu runs hotter due to it. -Extruder knob works well and i've had no issues.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

I can only comment from my experience and I haven't had any issues from wear on the filament guides, and the cover for my PCB does use stock screws

[@t_c5266]

@ESOUCZ I use it too. It didn't work with the stock screws that came with my machine.

[@KetsaKunta]

I just think being able to print mods for the printer is amazing. I got my dad this same printer and I'm excited to show him these to make it easier to operate

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Awesome, happy modding

[@Agamemnon2]

1:40 One tip about those LCD board covers. After installing mine, I had an issue where the printer would intermittently beep and register a phantom keypress while printing. This is because one of the screws (nearest to the knob) actually grounds the PCB to the metal screen bracket and putting the screen between the screw head and the top surface of the circuit board stops this. The remedy was to bore out that mounting hole so that the screw could make electrical contact again. The rear cover will stay on perfectly well with just 3 screws.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Good tip for people that need it, thanks

[@Relaw14]

I just installed mine and have heard a couple presses. I was really hoping it wasnt a technology issue as the printer is only 2 days old. This makes me feel a lot better and thankyou for a solution.

[@ChristopherJones16]

This comment should be pinned.

[@mondomondoman]

I recently noticed this and couldn't figure out why it was happening. THANK YOU for posting this.

[@enosunim]

Had such an issue, but without touching screen at all. So no contact was broken. Solved it with ferrite bead on screen cable near the LCD.

[@SuperSmashRiolu]

Having a 1 Kg spool rolling on top of your printer just rocks the printer with a lot of unnecessary movement. So I printed a mount that attached to the left leg to have the spool feed directly into the extruder. This also eliminates the need for filament guides.

cool idea

[@RoundBoyRanch]

The only things I would add are bed leveling knob locks, I got really tired of leveling the bed every other print. Great video, and great ideas!

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Thanks mate, mine is ok once i upgraded the springs to stiffer ones

[@enosunim]

Actually had no real problem with that from the beginning as I printed some washers to make original springs stable. But I install clicking knobs for easier calibration. Do a few clicks here and there. The main problem is that table bends after heating complete. Mine have a hill in the center and center left and center right parts. I solve this by making first slice higher, like 0.3mm, and using 125% flow. Also ordered those yellow springs and will try them, to see if they will change table bending.

[@Ryfi33]

Nice. Just ordered this. Will definitely rewatch this video when it arrives! Thanks.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

I love the ender 3 pro, awesome for the price

[@lego_minifig]

If your going to the lengths of printing drag chains do yourself a favor and hard mount the top chain with something like thing:3623342 and toss in thing:3132855 to prevent cable drooping. Its functional and makes the whole build look way more aesthetically pleasing.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Ok thanks will look at that

[@mattiolizen]

Pay attention that now the new Ender 3 Pro uses the MK10 extruder, the linked Nozzles are for the MK8 that is incompatible!

dude your a legend !! that yoda knob is amazing!!!!

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Thanks

[@benjo145]

I opted to use the rear chain mount with groove covers, i think it looks nicer. i also chose the motor mount at the top rather than have the chain clip onto the wires. i think it just looks better and more secure. i also decided to not include the PSU shroud as i felt it was taxing the fan more, and that it wasn't able to expel as much exhaust air. and i am concerned about overheating on long prints.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

thats a fair point with the shroud

[@JuTubeTV]

just curious are you printing with PLA? I've been rummaging around to find what the best filament to use for upgrades are but haven't been able to locate anything specific

[@LearnAsWeGo]

Hi, yes im using pla and ive made a video on the best brands that i like to use

[@leswheeler2023]

many thanks again Ivan, I have gone though all your vids, and I am sure you have mentioned somewhere, the printer requirements to print your parts. need to be accessible somewhere as is the list of parts ie your website. I have steppers here for instance, but the mounting hole placement would likely differ from yours, not to mention the linear rails. thanks again for your enthusiasm in this dark time. Its contagious

+Learn As We Go Great video and tips, I've got my E3 Pro on its way. Looking forward to using these items as test prints and fitting them. I have seen other videos with them but not all, especially the chain link and the slot in spacers for the screw stepper motor. One thing I did notice as I watched though, I'm sure you realised too, that the yellow power supply intake would have fitted but pointed down as opposed to up as you showed or sideways as the blue one does. Or would it have fouled anything by pointing down ? Thanks for the time and effort though.

[@Baggins_lover]

@@LearnAsWeGo not that I’m aware of. It’s certainly not silent, lol!

[@reyspec]

Im probably not the first to say that but the chain are installed the wrong way. They are supposed to prevent bad kink in the cable by reducing the bend radius.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

i dont have a kink in the cable

[@reyspec]

@@LearnAsWeGo just think about it. If you take 3 link and bend them they will have a 90 degree bend. If the links where install the other way around, the bend angle would be more around 120-150 max. But for the ender3 it doesn't really matter, the cable are not heavy enough. Nice job for the video btw

[@shitboxedition6744]

personally, i would find it easier to find the files if there was a link instead of the parts number.. either way, great video!

[@grifonegro]

It is overall bad to add a cover to the fan, because it diminishes the heat dispersion capacity of it. I wouldn't do it. Same can be said for the mainboard cover, altough in this case it provides it a protection from dust, so I think it's worth. (remember it still has to be cleand in time to time)

[@Yatukih_001]

Richard you don´t have to buy a 3 - D printer. There is no 3 - D printer specifically made for homes on the market now which can follow printing instructions easily because the driver updater is missing, most of the printing software is down or does not recognize the printer, the computer will not recognize it and most of them will not print from your USBs. Therefore a successful home 3 - D printer will hopefully emerge in the future. Instead of waiting for that to happen, because we already did during the past 25 years to no avail, you just contact a 3 - D printing website, show them the thing you want them to print and they will print it for you.You can not 3 - D print from a printer which has no CD. Such claims are simply bogus which is why people should 3 - D print from websites with access to up to date printer drivers. If Learn As We Go wants to 3 - D print, he has to ask somebody to do it for himself. He can´t just do it himself because thats years in the future.

First I really like your videos. It has helped me a lot as a beginner into 3D printing... How did you print the spool holder - is that with supports? The recommendation is to print all parts vertically but I think the main part (holder) can best be printed horizontally. Sorry for the question if it is too basic. I'm just starting with 3D printing.

[@LearnAsWeGo]

i just rotate the parts so there is always a flat part on the bed, spool did have supports that are hard to remove so be careful as i broke the first

[@brokenshoe1775]

U have to be careful with some of these I personally don't rate cable chains ( just tidy your shit , the fan muffler for the psu can be an issue sometimes as well depending on the design filament guides aren't really needed either I do rate using the z spacer though made a massive difference to my z axis lead screw movement was loads before installing the space now it's minimal at best I like the LCD cover probably my fave personally

Would the dampener feet not make the printer slightly unstable ?

[@LearnAsWeGo]

No the weight of the printer keeps it stable

[@raphsing]

the psu part is insane when you fit the first screw and rotate the cover to the place for the second screw, the fan rotates and the hole comes out. It's difficult but you need to turn it holding the screwdriver on the first screw to rotate the cover to the place..

[@LearnAsWeGo]

I never had that issue but thats a good work around

[@Gameboygenius]

I had the same experience so I ended up unmounting the PSU and holing it side down so I could align the fan easier. Two things could be different. 1) He could be using a different model for the fan shroud. The one I went for had slightly too small holes so the screws threaded into the shroud, causing it to move the fan around the screw instead of rotating freely. 2) There might be some other retaining mount inside the MeanWell branded PSU on the Ender-3 Pro preventing it from moving unless both screws are out and causes the fan to fall off. Mine is a non-pro and has the cheaper power supply.
