I have this and its so good i printed a good quality benchy in 23 minutes. amazing printer very beginner friendly

[@misfittech3054]

printed in 14mins

[@Musiquence]

Clear instructions and always nice to see a video of an assembly, before doing it myself. Also, good to see someone taking care during unboxing and installation... many others who received the printer from Creality really don't care and yank it out of the packaging. Anyways, thanks for this. Good content. Just subscribed!

Once your all built, set her up with me also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5zbi42VqNV-hbMsi=VaEqvrUDbjYwm5MT

[@hanson933]

You mounted the run out sensor and filament mount bracket in reverse. The spool holder collar should sit in the negative space of the mount and the run out sensor should be on right if you are facing the printer.

[@3DRundown]

There is no wrong way. It's mounted? Filament passes through? Cable connected? Done. I could mount the run out sensor on my ceiling, if I had an extension cable.

[@hanson933]

@@3DRundown I'm sure it works fine I was just pointing out its installed in the opposite configuration in the manual/set up guide. Seems to have a little more range of motion to move with the filament when installed on the right

[@micromunki9076]

@@3DRundown On mine, the sensor cable isn't quite long enough by about 5mm, if you mount it that way. So it definitely needs to be mounted with the sensor on the right.

[@RobertSwaffordIII]

Outstanding and very clear walk through of the complete unboxing and setup instructions. Love your style and humor throughout - getting my KE later this week and I can't wait to put it together!

[@3DRundown]

Truth be told, I blew these machines off... I didn't believe in them. But, I started throwing stuff at them, and, they are really surprising me. The KE, is indeed, a great machine.

Hello! Do you have have a prusaSlicer profile for this printer or have any video explain advanced settings for this one? I look your courses, but no found.... Thanks : )

[@3DRundown]

Hi. Sorry, I do not. And yes, I have no content on Prusa Slicer. I really want to cover all the slicers, allot more, but, I'm only one person, and it's very very hard, to find the time. I will try. You can give this a try for your KE. I have not tried it myself: github.com/eb2292/enderv3ke-prusaslicer

[@megan4936]

Excellent video. I've been having some problems with Z rod binding. Are those "grub screws" at 10:46 what I would try to adjust to help with binding?

[@3DRundown]

Oh boy. Z-Binding is not good. Possibly the left and right Z-Rod are missaligned. I hate to give you wrong advice. It IS a grub, but, the fitting is unusual. On the CR-10 SE, it has the more commen fitting, with the 2 grubs, due to it having TWO Steppers, where the KE has only one. I would have to look into the best way to address that on the KE. For now, email [e-mail], and explain in very plain english, what is happened, and ask them to tell you the correct way to resolve.

[@megan4936]

Thank you so much

[@3DRundown]

Welcome. Feel free to join my group and post a video (it's new and has no members yet...) facebook.com/groups/ender3v3ke

[@MW2ONLINEGAMER100]

Does the KE have an eccentric nut that should be adjusted? I assembled the SE for my nephew and it was there. But now i am setting up my KE and it is not visible. Is it a different system?

[@3DRundown]

THE KE and SE share the same base. However, the HOT END is on Linear Rails on the KE and won't have an Eccentric

[@bg9711]

just a question, according to the instructions, the run out sensor bracket is installed the other way around... I double checked after the cable wouldn't reach with the orientation you have it :)

[@3DRundown]

Should be facing front, arrow down. It comes pre attached. Mine reaches easily. Official photo's show it on the other side, but that's an error, it comes mounted as seen here, and there are no mounting holes on the opposite side

[@TomSalvo-z3y]

Newbie here. Thanks for the very detailed instructions -- I needed that. Question: Is there any way to set up the KE so that it doesn't auto tram the bed at the start of EVERY print? (I would need specific steps to follow) Thanks again!

[@3DRundown]

Yes, uncheck "Calibrate" when sending the print

[@sandiebrkr2697]

Why won't my printer complete the self test process? When I start the process it goes as far as moving the plate and extruder then stops and does nothing else. Help please

[@3DRundown]

At this point, it would be preheating the nozzle and bed. Is that happening?

[@daemonchills]

Really clear thanks

[@benjidoggo5405]

I think you put the top spool holder frame backwards. The instructions are the other way around than yours... 😮

[@3DRundown]

This is the way. All Creality official imagery has it forward, and the photo on the box itself has it forward. I also built their machines for them, at ERRF.... Forward. Even if they wanted back (they don't), I would overrule.

[@Obscura-pg1mk]

@@3DRundown I need to push on this comment. The picture as well as Creality's own online videos, manual, etc has it showing the screws facing the top belts. In other words, the screws are hidden when looking at it from the front. Does the orientation actually matter? I am returning one from Amazon due to defects, but it was running up until when I'm disassembling it for return. I had it oriented the way the manual shows without issue (issue was a bent extruder plate causing it to cant outwards. I bent it back but....don't want a new item to be askew). I'm wondering what the different even is since the spool is facing same direction either way. Seems like it may be a moot point. Thoughts?

[@chevy4x466]

I have the k3 Arriving today. How Do I connect it To my computer, what software should I use?

[@donoteatmikezila]

Creality Print, it's available from their website. So long as you connected the printer to your wifi the software will find it on your network.

[@3DRundown]

I will be shooting the full setup over the next few days. You wil print via Creality Clour, or direct from Creality Print. If using Orca Slicer, you will upload to Creality Cloud manually. If using Creality Print, you can upload to Creality Cloud, directly from Creality Print. You can also print via the Klipper Interface, but, I would use Creality Cloud. You can follow this video, the process will be virtually identical: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGXQkIKXjd52eMU

[@DeRock401]

Just got mine setup. First prints have not been good lol. Very stringy and not layering properly. I also can’t figure out why my print speed is stuck on 100% I want to slow it down some. Is this not possible through the creality app or on the nebula pad itself?

[@3DRundown]

Sounds like you need to spend some time learning to slice. 100% is not a speed. It's 100% of the speed YOU set, when slicing your model.

[@DeRock401]

@@3DRundown you’re right. I was downloading models specifically made for my printer and just shooting them over wirelessly. Only “slicing” I did was to rescale them to a smaller size for a couple of them! I just finished a print in place articulated dragon and it came out good! I’m getting the hang of it

[@DeRock401]

@@3DRundown this is perfect. Thanks

[@3DRundown]

Yea, strongly suggest avoiding GCODES made by other pepople, as tempting as that sounds. BE IN CONTROL. Learning to be a skilled slicer user, is the best thing you will ever do. Better than getting a new printer. :)

[@3DPRINTINGWITHLEE]

Outstanding intro my friend

[@3DRundown]

Thank you brother. These unboxings are so tedius. I always pray they don't bomb. (I'm looking at you CR10-SE)

[@phil2082]

I had to rebox my printer. Thank you for this video. My third print failed hard, and resulted in so much PLA globbed around the nozzle assembly that the whole thing is going back instead of waiting for replacement parts. Removing the cover screws is three on the right, one on the left. Worth inspecting in there regularly.

[@3DRundown]

Your nozzle was loose at the heartbreak. I would fix it myself, rather than return it. This happened to my CR10-SE (1st printer I have ever had this happen with). I know it's my fault, as I didn't inspect it after assembly, so, I will fix it myself.

[@phil2082]

@3DRundown Ouch. This one seemed more like it was stuck on prints that pulled up in my case, but I suppose I should check these things better. When I return this printer and get a new one I will definitely do more disassembly and reassembly before using it. Apparently the build plate needs alcohol cleaning, too.

[@3DRundown]

That could happen..... if the model leaves the print bed, and then sticks to the hotend, and the filament has nowhere to go, so it just builds up all around the hot end. Don't hate me, but.... that's also user error, and our fault. I almost did this on my V3 KE yesterday! Sometimes I get lazy, and forget to peak at the print. I just assume all is well, and..... DISASTER! Lol. Never trust your machines TOO much. :P Do IPA clean your bed. Being clean is the most important part. I am also not a fan of textured PEI. Smooth PEI holds so much better.

[@phil2082]

@3DRundown I was using black filament on my third print. I filled the bed with small pieces. It worked perfectly for about 6 or 7 layers, so I let it be. I came back a few hours later and it was destroyed. You can call the print failure user error, but the printer eating itself to death as a result is definitely a design flaw.

[@3DRundown]

I have 40 machines, THOUSANDS of prints. Never had this happen. It's 100% you. Why FILL THE BED WITH SMALL PRINTS? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Especially if you used Textured PEI for loads of small prints.

[@wolfkingashura817]

Hello! I have an ender 3 v2 Neo, since i have a lot of problems leveling the v2 neo I want to replace the v2 neo with an ender 3 v3 Se or Ke. Any recommendations on which one sould i buy?

[@3DRundown]

Definitely the KE. It ships with the Nebula pad, which runs Klipper, and in 2024, Klipper is what you want.

[@ginoantenucci6424]

I don’t get it I have a ender 3 v3 ke and I can’t get good prints at all so far the problem right now is that it doesn’t level good

[@3DRundown]

KE is a nice machine. What's exactly happening? Is your bed good? Does it wiggle if you grab and jiggle it?

[@lucasbarros9053]

hi.. so... I just bought mine ender 3 v3 KE and I'm facing a problem... the BLtTouch (that Zoffset sensor) is hitting the part... it's a few millimeters below the nozzle, how do I solve this? I already took it apart and put it back together again and nothing, has anyone ever experienced this?

[@3DRundown]

Weird. I have not heard this one yet. I'd wager a guess that the Nozzle is somehow too high. I have not taken the hot end apart on the KE yet, but I'd see if there is a way to lower it a touch

[@lucasbarros9053]

@@3DRundown I just discovered that this Cr touch (I found the correct name) was mounted about 1.5~2mm after the nozzle, how do I solve this? Is the hotend mounted incorrectly or cr touch?

[@3DRundown]

I am not sure the mount for the touch allows for a height change, so, I question the hot end... I will try to have a look at mine

[@lucasbarros9053]

Updates... I went through a level and square and the printhead bracket is actually bent, and the hotend is mounted crooked (because of the bracket pushing forward, making it crooked), I've spoken to the bracket and they will send me the new parts... I had another resonance problem because the structure is a little crooked and wobbly (despite having tightened everything correctly) using a square, the ends of the supports were cut crooked.... fortunately the support will fix this, for those who have the same problems, check these parts, it is very likely that they are crooked or cut incorrectly.

[@aaron4376]

[@3DRundown]

Ah, missed you by an Hour. Ironically, I started the upload. Setup all the details, then...... CLOSED MY BROWSER and went to the Gym. Lol. The upload stopped.... And I had to do it all over again later. My bad. Solid question. This was easy, when using USB for Sonic Pad. We'll need a serial extension. I'm not sure if it's something standard or propriatary. I am going to ask the engineers at Creality.

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

@@3DRundown thanks man. And i dont see any enclosures that specify compatibility for the KE either...would probably just have to go by measurements. Also the sonic pad doesnt list as being compatible with the KE either. I just ordered a dual filament dryer, a role of PETG filament and the creality nebula webcamera. I had bought a Mintion Beagle camera thinking it would work with the KE but it doesn't.

[@3DRundown]

Most of the enclosures are generic. They tend to be sizes on purpose to fit the 220x200, 300x300, etc, bed slingers. I have 2 here to test, but have been dragging my feet. I'll do it this week
