Is there anything like this for the ender 3?

I know this isn't what your asking for, but for what it's worth.... I tried every leveling "trick" in the book with my original Ender. I even mounted a dial caliper to the print head and leveled that way to be SUPER precise. I only quit having adhesion issues when: I upgraded my bed with a good piec

Ender 3 Misconception

Ya the issue mainly is people dont want to tinker and tune when they buy a product. Especially when they see printers now like bambu which basically just work perfect out of the box. You also pay for that pleasure. Ive had friends ask me if they should get into 3d printing or should they get an ende

What needs to be done to use Ender 3v2 stably.

My Ender 3v2 has been working pretty flawlessly and consistent over the last 3 years I had it. Upgrades I made directly out of the box: Auto Bed Leveling usingthe CR Touch upgrade from Creality replaced the bed leveling springs with silicone washers (also from Creality) replaced the plastic filament

2nd Hand Warning signs

I love mine, but don't buy that. 1st gen doesn't have automatic bed leveling, and the heaters run off 12v. It takes ~10 minutes to preheat the bed and nozzle, so you won't really test much in 5 minutes. Creality sells factory refurbished Ender 3 V3 SE on eBay for $86 delivered to the US. It comes wi

I’m intimidated by software and upgrades.

After you install the CRtouch sensor, you want to remove the Z limit switch completely. Disconnect it from the frame of the printer and disconnect the wires from the mainboard. The next thing you need to do is update the firmware to a version that supports your mainboard with a CRtouch added. In the

How can I fix my Benchie?

Update: I Figured it out. After installing the Creality Sprite, there was a peripheral that needed a major change. Estepps/mm needed to be changed from 0.0 to 424.9 specifically. Made this adjustment and found a kick ass Cura profile specifically for the Ender 3 pro and holy shit, is she printing li

They're even going after 3d printing now

I'm glad to know that I didn't fuck up the assembly process and that having to manually level the printbed all the time is just par for the course on the creality ender 3

Ender 3 Pro Upgrades

I am summoned. I'd take a BTT skr mini E3 over the creality boards it replaces every day of the week. The CR touch is an overpriced clone of the BLtouch and honestly the cheap clone I have is as reliable as my original, and the only CR touch that I've actually handled never worked reliably and the c

Best 3D printer for beginners?

I started with an Ender 3 and it was a good learning experience, but honestly if you want something more beginner-friendly I’d go for something like a Bambu A1 Mini or Creality K1 series. They’re way easier to set up and require less tweaking. If your budget is tight, Ender 3 V3 SE is also a solid c
