Awesome video. Do you have a 1 year later review of this printer?

[@SAMZIRRA]

No exaggeration, this is the best, easiest to understand build video for this printer I have found. Seriously, thank you so much for making this. I just ordered mine today and needed this video for help.

[@FamilyFlippers]

You explained this thing as if you invented it. Amazing. We would have never known how to set this up had it not been for this amazing explanation video. Thank you so much.

[@livefreeprintguns]

I used your guide when I first setup my Ender 3 V2 Neo 2 years ago, and here I am today with my brand new S1 Pro that I'm about to setup. Thank you!!

[@barbpaz3636]

Thank you so much! I have never used a 3D printer before and you helped me set it up and do my very first print! I am a miniaturist and this is going to be perfect for my needs! Thank you for explaining it all in terms even a beginner like me could understand! Great job!

[@ElGatoNegroFPV]

The manufacturer should include the link to this video into the manual, thanks for taking your time doing this tutorial, you’ve made it easy.

The camera work here is absolutely amazing

Tripod. Everyone should use one. The audio is great as well. Lav? Shotgun?

[@EdGodoyPlana]

I purchased this as my second printer and love it. My first printer was the Ender 3v2 and I have significantly upgraded it. This Ender 3S1 Pro is much easier to assemble and has almost all the upgrades I did to the Ender 3V2. This is a better printer than the 3v2 even after all the upgrades. After a few month now of using the PEI bed I found that the bed adhesion was excellent for the first 45 to 60 days of use. After two month of use the PEI bed does not stick as well as it did at the beginning no matter how well I clean it. I now use some washable glue for some prints to get the bed to stick. I simply love this Ender 3S1 pro ! It’s a fabulous printer! I bought a Raspberry Pi and an webcam to install on this printer. The Ender 3V2 I already installed the Raspberry pi and the webcam. I now need to install the new raspberry pi and the webcam on the 3S1 Pro . But I need to figure out how to set up the second printer with the raspberry pi and Octoprint. Your review of this printer is excellent! When I purchased my Ender 3V2 I followed your KZbin video to put it together. Have you installed multiple 3d printers and webcam to use them simultaneously with Octoprint and raspberry pi ? Thanks again for your great KZbin videos!

[@JustTechGuyThings]

If you don't wanna buy a raspberry pi and camera, you can use an old Android with Octoprint 4 Android.

[@EdGodoyPlana]

@@JustTechGuyThings I got the raspberry pi and a webcam already. I just need to install it on the second printer ( Ender 3S1 Pro) .

[@ladykatepyro]

For the PEI bed (and for glass beds) I use Aqua Net. I wipe it down after every print with 90% rubbing alcohol. It retains its stickiness like it did when new. When hot, it sticks. When cool it releases. Don't use Acetone on PEI. I just got my S1 and it is working well right now -- no extra sticky required. This was true for my Prusa and I graduated to alcohol after a month or so of using it.

[@rzk2f875]

@@EdGodoyPlana where did you get the pi from? It's out of stock or marked up everywhere I have looked.

[@EdGodoyPlana]

@@rzk2f875 I got it at Best Buy but I had to pay $ 135 for the CanaKit - Raspberry Pi 4 Starter MAX Kit 4GB RAM, 64gb card etc! Very expensive!

[@3Dgifts]

This is the best video I have seen for setting up the Ender 3 S1 Pro. Other videos I viewed lacked the detail, for example, when performing bed leveling and adjusting the a axis they did not show the screen or explain the topic accurately. Great job.

[@madderall_dot_com]

So it comes with a piece of paper that has text on both sides and it's of high quality on top of that? Wow, how exciting!

[@Flipmeister]

The shots of the printer in the begin of the video are super nice and well made.

[@parad0cks]

18 months ago, I watched your review of the Ender 3 Pro, it gave me the confidence I needed to start 3D printing. I purchased the printer, set it up and I've been growing in confidence ever since. With that in mind, I always look forward to you reviews on 3D printers, I've been excited to see you review this one in particular. Many thanks for the inspiration and the great reviews, they have probably helped a lot of people :)

[@muttbone01]

That sticker on the screen to check voltage.....single most important in-your-face thing I've seen on Chinesium products. WELL done.

[@Fortniteslayer2000]

Mate my printer was broken and you basically just fixed it for me thank so much mate

[@ftw2011fyi]

Your video skills have improved like crazy! Wishing your channel lots of success

[@811970samson]

I followed your video for my ender max neo...my first prints were perfect! Just got the s1 pro, and your video was my first stop! Thanks!

[@apuwithit9625]

Which one better ender max neo or s1 pro?

[@Gorzor9]

I appreciate you walking through cura settings, have come back here several times just for that.

[@AusSkiller]

Thank you for this video, I used it to help me set up my Ender-3 S1 Pro and the first print was absolutely perfect the first layer went down just right, adhered perfectly and popped off easily. I doubt it would have gone as well as it did if I hadn't watched this video and adjusted it as suggested, I found most of the rollers were extremely tight and you could feel the axes get stuck in the positions they shipped in (the rollers might have developed some flat spots from the pressure over time), but after loosening them per your instructions (and making sure to turn them all random amounts so that the potentially flat bits don't all line up at the same spot) it moved SO much smoother.

[@pijanysamuraj]

Everytime I want to check new printer I'm checking vlads Chanel, He seems genuine

[@sephirotradmin2016]

This is by faaaaaar the best tutorial on this printer!! Thank you!

[@ladykatepyro]

Thanks. I got the s1 and followed your video. One thing I found is that I have to be patient. Sometimes it just takes a few seconds to be ready to go on. Getting impatient and pressing a selection more than once often causes it to lock up and I have to reboot. This is true in leveling especially. I also noted that when I pre-heat the PLA sometimes it will think I am printing and I have to stop it and start over. Weird. However, overall it appears to be working fine. I love the new filament feed. Much better than the pro and V2. Overall, I am looking forward to putting some miles on it. Your videos for assembling these are SOOoooo much easier than trying to figure out what the manual wants. Especially when it comes to correct things like a loose bed. Just love them.

[@ShaggyShaggums]

I just got my first 3D printer, an Ender S1 Pro today and I followed your setup guide and PLA settings and my first print came out looking amazing. I printed out a Picoboot holder for the GameCube by HUVUL. Your guide made my first print easy. The only issue I had with my setup and had to repeat was the Auto level. I had to do the auto level twice because there was such a large gap in the center of the bed and I manually compensated all the way down to -5.00 and the extruder never moved. So I zero it out and ran a second auto level and this time I was able to get a manual center level at -3.40 but it prints beautifully. Thank you so much for your video.

[@anirban17aug]

I have the same issue. Can step out the details on how you rectified it. Also, the manual levelling lever are almost on the looser end

[@lorenzh8868]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ7Lc4yFesdgqNE I found this video, thinking of buying the printer myself. Does this help?

[@ShaggyShaggums]

@@anirban17aug I'm new to this and I've been printing nice quality prints but what I did that worked for me was to tighten all 4 levers/wheels and then I manually leveled the bed loosening the wheels as you go and using a piece of paper where the nozzle slightly grabs the paper like in the video and afterwards I did the auto leveling and everything came out fine. My level is -3.40 but I have no issues and if you are concerned about that, there is some part you can buy to put on under your bed to push it up but honestly it works fine.

[@anirban17aug]

@@ShaggyShaggums thanks a lot for your response. I was able to level it and z axis is set at 2.70. Everthing seems to work now.

[@EvilMetalGod]

Wow...the best video about this printer i've come across..man ur giving ur best..i like it so much cuz im gonna buy this printer...u deserve a sub

What a Awesome video....very detailed...I must have watched this at least 10 times....and because of this video I bought a creality Ender 3 S1 pro...just finished with assembly...well done and thank you very much

[@pyromantic5709]

Super helpful, couldn’t find where the end stop plugged in, thanks a ton

[@TheChubbyGeneralist]

Just followed this video to set up my printer and currently printing the default rabbit. Great video btw and you've earned yourself a new sub!

[@Fpfpicsandvids]

Thank you, i had issues levelling the bed at first but i eventually figured it out. essentially i manual level first, raise the z axis 1.0 at a time until close enough, then spun the physical rings under the table with a paper touch, did the automatic and then a manual test again. I ended up going 3.5 on the z axis in the end but I'm glad I went bit by bit. nearly broke my nozzle by plunging it into the table. but not enough to cause damage.

[@lfaitas]

Thanks!

[@dabruuzer]

Fantastic video, and so helpful. Just about to choose my 1st printer, and this has been invaluable to. This model is now my top choice, out of the three I have narrowed it down to. Thanks!

Have you gotten it yet?

[@mrburge232]

lessgo, same

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

im kinda mad at all the new people being able to jump straight into a direct drive printer. you all have it so easy. that being said im also glad ive gone through the trials of a bowden tube extruded setup, its made me a better printer than you ;]

[@DoodleDrawsYT]

Ha PUNY my first printer was the ender 3 s1 pro but I have experience with non direct drives I am a horrible printer! No seriously I am I can’t get a good first layer someone please help me I’m dead serious

[@jakewright7804]

I want to thank you for your video. All of the quirks you experienced were not present in my unit, i have a theory that it is likely due to fixes based on reviews like yours. It went together fast and easy thanks to your walk through. My first 2 prints went off without a hitch.

[@MsSamoistina]

Thank you so much! My school just got this printer, and, thanks to You, it's almost workinkg! I did not level it well (y) but hopping tomorow will be better day for me.

[@kaziabdulbaset3543]

This really looks and feels like a finished Ender series product. Easy installation than ever and pretty good prints at stock settings.

[@pinksocksinsandals8016]

Thank you very very much for the video. My first 3d printer set up in an hour for a newbie. Well made with all the informations and great quality

[@MujaChip]

Dont stop making videos. You going to make it big inshAllah.

[@TylerFalwell]

THANK YOU! I've been avoiding 3D printers up to this point because I really didn't want to put the time into the learning curve. Now they've advanced to the point where there isn't too much and your video gave me the confidence to do it....and I did. Rabbit is printing now! Thank you!

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

yea i wouldnt say that there isnt too much to learn yourself. every 3d printer is extremely sensitive to anything you do to it and you need to have a good understanding of the mechanics of 3d printing to be able to set one up yourself and get accurate prints successfully

[@gruffnutz]

I'm not convinced this is a set and forget, plug and play, no smoke out the ears, never inducing furious wrenching of one's hair type of 3D printer and don't know any of these budget open frame dealies are. I used to own an enclosed printer which happily kept the user out of the environment, levelling the bed, making a coffee while you waited, even told you what sort of filament you had inserted into the inbuilt spool. I had more hair and it printed okay too, but was a lot more pricey for what you got than an ENder which i greatly prefer. I think to have fun printing you inevitably get tired of white PLA and once you branch out to printing PETG, carbon fibers, then metal and finally reels of titanium infused granite, the problems start. HOwever, most of them are manageable and on balance between attacking the printer with an axe in frustration and rewarding tweaking these have it about right.

[@TylerFalwell]

@@Mr.Thermistor7228 For sure, but if that fear keeps you from doing it, you never will. This video helps the novice get introduced to 3D printing. I've only been at it for a week now and have plenty of spaghetti prints, but without someone like Vlad breaking down how to get started I never would have ventured out to learn all of in's and outs of Cura, etc.

[@blackbeardgamer5909]

Dude thank you for the clear video! Made setting up the printer so much easier

Excellent video really clear to follow thank you. I just wanted add to my coment, my first printer was Prusa mk3. The new Creality Pro is worth every penny, the full metal head is perfect. I print mainly in Flex 98 and softer TPU the feed and hotend just work amazing. This my new go to printer solid build and amazing prints, just everything about it has been so well designed and thought out. I am trying to find faults but so far none, great job Creality

[@lfaitas]

Fantastic video .. well done! First time owner of a 3d printer so i had no idea how to setup and print on the Ender 3 S1 Pro and so far had mostly print fales due to lack of experience. On the internet could not find any usefull videos on how to setup the new printer and the shop where i bought it from could not help by phone. Friends had other older or more simple printers and then again where no help. This video takes you step by step with the first time setup of this printer and after that i managed to finish my first succesfull complicated print! The printers user manual does not tell you anything about all these asymmetric wheels which need setup and my printer was not ready to print from the box.. the hotbed was moving all over the place so i needed to tighten the wheels underneath and the print head base loose so when i printed it was gong up and down! thank you very much again!

[@juliepowell2572]

I just got my new printer and would still be tearing my hair out if not for your vid! Thanks so much.

[@KimFowler29]

[@kriswingert1662]

@ 14:39, I have this printer and the label on the cable is to be inserted in the bracket so it can be pulled out again if you need to. Also, the cable plug ins on the left side, put the stepper motor one in LAST so you cab push the other 2 in front of it towards the left side edge to keep them away from the bed.

[@outlet6989]

You are a natural-born teacher. Your video was probably the best instructional videos I have watched on KZbin. I've been considering buying a 3D printer for a long time. My big hold-back is that they need a file in order to print. I have items with broken parts that I need to reproduce using a 3D printer. Earlier today I watched a video of a small 3D scanner. I thought I had my answer with the 3D scanner and a 3D printer. Would it be feasible to use a 3D scanner and produce a file that a 3D printer could use? Any assistance would be most appreciated.

[@panicartist6033]

Great video very well explained I will be following this when mine turns up

[@hendrikjbboss9973]

A good video up to 30:51. From there you actually fell of the bus until you started printing. You should have made everything clear on the use of the interface. Just saying "you probably cannot see the screen......" just doesn't cut it. You are using an old version of the Cura slicer that needs more inputs than Cura 5.1.1. BTW which version of Cura did you use for this video? 🤔

[@ecobasetech4558]

A tip I figured out with that cable clip that goes on the back of the x axis. Make sure the hook is pointed down, not towards the rear....

The first best video I have seen on Ender 3 stuff. I have just done exactly what you have shown me with success, up until I got to the bed levelling. When doing the Manual one I hit my 1st problem. When using the paper for distance, as I have always done on my old Ender 3, I cant seem to get enough lift of the bed to the nozzle when it runs out of tension Spring and it is still 30mm away from the nozzle? Can you advise with this please?

[@elvispresley6238]

Thanks for the video, well done. One extremely important step that I didn't see (may have missed it but worth repeating), check the voltage selector switch on the back of the machine. Mine was set to 230v, it was purchased in US so you'd think they would have set this correctly for you... but they didn't. Remove the sticker and set it to 120v if you live in US.
