[@kencroft7933]

This is absolutely superb in the attention to detail and I followed it absolutely yesterday in the build of my first 3D printer the Ender 3x Pro. I watched it 3 times before I even received my printer! I found one tiny little error. At 34:40 you say the mounting screws for the Z-axis motor are M4x16. This is the wrong length, it should be M4x18. There actually are M4x16 screws in the kit, but the ones needed are the m4x18 countersunk heads. The video clearly shows countersunk screws but I did not see this at first and I went for the wrong screws. Well done, thank you so much for the best ever build video, and the voice is so reassuring.

[@textbookscience6936]

Yes. I did the same mistake. But somehow checked elsewhere and found out this error. It will be good to add card or something at this location to rectify the same and help others. Thanks for the great video otherwise.

[@mariiooP]

Tip - if when feeding in the filament, you can't get it all through the tube, use the change filament option on the printer. It will suck it in for you and keep extruding until some comes out

I have the Ender 3 Pro but I'm pretty sure the mounting of the Z stepper motor is the same on both.

[@a.j.bartley8449]

Thank you! Thank you! And Thank you!!!! I have an Ender 3 I purchased a while ago, but I never had time to assemble, calibrate and print with the machine because of my job. I recently put it together and I was looking to do a quick set up and print to make sure it works since it's just been sitting there for weeks. As with all newbies that have a little technical know-how, you think things should be fairly easy and smooth. "Far from it" is being very generous in this instance. I thought the bed was leveled and it wasn't, scratched it the first time I tried to print. I thought the profile was good ... Naw!!!! Not by a long shot. I looked at a few vids to try to get my bearings and I was thoroughly unimpressed with their directions and walkthrough. I was getting close to giving up and scrapping it for another day. Then I ran into this video and said this has to work on this will be on the shelf for a little longer. Instantly I saw the difference in instruction and directions. I was able to set up things properly in about 30 minutes and I do mean everything. Bed leveling, temp adjustments, other calibrations, it all went smoothly. In fact, the most time I spent in the process was with the bed leveling. (It took about 15 minutes to get it fully completed.) Even the walkthrough with Cura was on point to give a newbie like me a good understanding of the software and what I should be doing. I know I'll need to study more, but for a starting point, this is fantastic! If you are new to 3d printing like I am, this is your best starting point. I am not one to leave reviews but I had to do so cause this just saved my 3d printing life!

Extremely helpful! If you use this guide as your MAIN instruction for assembling your printer, I found it helpful to occasionally cross-reference the Creality paper instructions as a back-up. That may be why I didn’t get stuck when the wrong bolt was mentioned at around the 7-minute mark.

[@lordmiroku1]

Just a tip, I wouldn't recommend using the preheat PLA function before doing bed leveling. If the nozzle is hot and you touch it to the bed, you risk creating small melted divots in the places the nozzle touches.

[@Print-Productivity]

So, you need to gently scrape off the bed, like really good. Then you need to soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and clean the bed gently. Then you might want to check if it is leveled! Have a great day 😃😃😃

It is good practice to unclip the electrical connections to motors before moving them along the extrusions as they will act as generators and could destroy your board.

[@EllTheBob]

Andrew Hayes or just move them slowly

[@PunakiviAddikti]

That shouldn't be a problem. There is a flyback diode inside the MOSFETs that drive the stepper motors. No voltage can get through them and back into the printer. When the MOSFETs are turning on, there is a small voltage drop. When they're fully on, the diode is basically shorted and doesn't affect the circuit.

[@lostplshelp]

@@PunakiviAddikti I don't believe that is entirely true - When moving the z axis on my 3 pro by hand at anything other than a snail's pace the display on the printer will briefly light up. This is with the printer unplugged, mind you.

Just ordered my Ender 3 will be here in a couple days. It’s actually my second printer, my first was an Anycubic mega S. Great printer, with no instructions. It worked fine but when we had to move I think something got loose and I’m not able to print really anymore. So I finally decided to just buy a new printer since there isn’t any 3D print repair shops. I’ll say that now that I understand how these machines work better than my first time, this is a wonderful instruction piece that I wish I had the first time. From explaining the parts, how to properly install them, all the way to doing a basic Cura explanation. I can’t wait to start printing again. To anyone new to this hobby, welcome and for your information if you haven’t heard, printing is slow, it’s like watching paint dry except that’s actually faster. Good luck!

Also at the end i was a bit unclear why we were heating things up before alignment. And finally the 'Home' button leaves the nozzle off the edge of the plate, which i was (am) confused about. Oh and I bought a glass plate to go on, so had to adjust the z-stop. Overall though your explanation was superb.

This helped me to put my ender 3 together perfectly- thank You for making video. Warm greetings from Latvia!

[@August_is]

Omg thank you so much I flubbed up so many things when I first got my ender 3 just because it was my first printer

[@xSISYPHUSx]

I have a CR10 -S5 and I just purchased an Ender3 because of the headache that cost. Thank you so much for this and making it simple

[@dice4dungeons148]

Excellent video, thank you sir. Wish I had seen this before I assembled my Ender 3, took me almost 2 hours. LOL

[@TheDerpyDeed]

So Z axis is up.... this goes against all my 3D knowledge! I suppose I'll be looking from the top down when imagining how I'm placing the model onto the plate

[@markfults1693]

I was taught the z is the up n down in metal machining..I've seen software that u can change it so It'll b the way u want

It was so satisfying to finally hear an end to the 30 minutes of constant background music looping

[@kurdishpotato1707]

this is best tutorial, i followed another guy's tutorial and he didn't give me any hints or how and why do this and that, but this video explains everything

The m4x16 doesn’t work Should I do m4x18?

[@ajolillen]

Your guide was super helpful, and truly follows the ethos of Canada by being friendly, helpful and pleasant all the way through! Thank you!

[@hbkboutabag2835]

I know nothing about 3d printing and this video was perfect for me everything is working great thank you so much for taking the time to make this and post it!!!!

[@k9slover]

This is a great tutorial and very helpful. I actually was stuck trying to follow the instructions that came with it. Now I am printing!

[@ChideNorms]

It fuckin WOULD be Canucks that put out the most comprehensive and helpful assembly video on KZbin. Thanks boys.

[@paulabruann]

You were the one who best taught me how to assemble an Ender 3. But when I turned on the printer it didn't go down Y axis. When I first saw a cable you forgot to connect. But I want to thank you very much for the lesson on how to help lay people. Note 9.9 because of Y axis Thank you very much.

[@arijitghosh6378]

Thank you so much for making such a high quality video that simplifies the whole process to this degree. It couldnt have been better.

[@gamerguy-lb5xs]

this is the first video that actually tells me everything I need to know including the printing software and how to use it I've been looking for a video like this for almost 2 and a half hours now so really what I'm trying to say is thankyou

[@corazonluzmarce]

Really complete guide, I'm really grateful for your tutorial. The instructions were missed to explain a lot of parts and assembly process.Thank you 👍

[@SenLightyear]

Excellent! Just built my ender-3 using this guide and the instructions. Very well made, excellent pace, and visuals.

[@zaku8954]

Thanks to your video I double checked all the actions made during assembly. And then even learned about cura software and now printing my first 3d printed cat model.

[@benjones1984]

Thanks friend, best video I found after getting frustrated with others. Took two and a half hours in total Definitely subscribing

[@alexaranda9204]

Hey, i just want to say thank you! Thank you soo much!! This video was immensely helpful, i don't think i would have done it without out it, so i wish you the best of days, thank you so much again!!

[@soroushzahedi7748]

This was an absolutely perfect video for any beginner such as myself. I cannot thank you enough.

[@ndtakahashi]

Thank you! I hope Creality is paying you. I couldn't have done this without you. If it weren't for you, we would have likely returned this product.

[@brineshrimp2223]

Overall a great instructional video. At 6 min and 50 sec it is telling how to install the Z axis motor, and says to use a 4 x 16 screw, those don't fit. The correct screw is the 4 x 18, it would be helpful to mention that these screws have countersunk heads. I was wondering why Creality didn't include countersunk 4 x 16 screws, then it became obvious when I looked at the pictorial assembly instructions that a 4 x 18 with a countersunk head was called for and required. Other than that issue the video is stellar!!.
