- In this video, I share my list of recommended 3d printer spare parts I always keep at hand. Brought to you by Sovol, makers of the SV07 and SV07 Plus, and recently, their own line of filament. Check out jle.vi/sovol and use the coupon code NEXTLAYER at checkout to save $10-20 on orders of $259 or more.
If you're like me, having just one of your 3D printers out of commission can ruin your entire day. Especially if you know that it's going to take days or even weeks to get the replacement part...
That's why in this video, I'm going to be sharing my list of affordable and recommended spare parts to keep on hand at all times, so that you never have to let an out of service printer collect dust ever again.
Plus, I'll be curating a list in the description below of my favorite places to pick these spare parts up affordably.

Thanks so much for watching, and for all your support during this difficult time for Israelis such as myself. I love you guys!
Glad to see you are okay. I dont know you, but i thought very often about you and your situation. You teached me a lot over the past months, so you are a part of my routine / life. thank you for everything and please stay safe!
We're just glad to know you're ok. תישאר בטוח חבר
OFC, love your content
I mean, that's what you get for allowing murderous extremists into your government. Same goes for Palestine.
It really is a pity that after so long it isn't getting any better in the region. Hope one day people can learn to live together in peace! Also love that you said 'whatever side of the political spectrum you are on' 👍. Stay safe, and keep up the good work!
You don't have to apologize. Just keep telling a good story the best that you can, when you can.
I've got enough spare parts to build a complete printer lol
Stay safe and thank you for inadvertently letting us know you're ok
Hey dude. Your videos are always excellent, this one is no exception. Take care of your family first- we’ll all still be here subscribed and hitting like buttons when you get back to making your “more polished content.” Thanks for sharing any content to let us know you’re safe.
Thanks for a great vid, which is especially helpful for someone who is planning on getting a 3D printer some time soon! Stay safe and hope to see new videos from you when you can!
don't apologize for anything, and I hope you and your family stay safe
Hey man I haven't been following your channel for long, as I just got my 3d printer recently. But I have friends in Israel , and are having struggles like you do. They live up north (Rehovot) but nowhere is safe now. I hope you are ok and my best wishes to you. Thank you for still keeping up with your content, and I hope this madness goes away quick. Be safe please.
Keep staying safe!
I'm so sorry for what happen to your country. All my support! Stay safe and hold on with your passion!
Thanks for your time and stay safe.
Fantastically useful video, thanks!
Thanks for doing this unexpected video. Nice job.
Sending love to you and yours during this time!
i hope things have gotten somewhat better for you over there. war sucks and i know not everyone living in a country agress with whats happens in there country. Your just trying to live your life and raise your family. Thanks for the vids. im new to the community and actually waiting on my very first 2 printers
Glad you’re safe!
We are always with you, buddy ❤
Awesome video once again I definitely picked up some useful tips, thanks
Glad you enjoyed!
Glad you're safe ❤
Thank you for another great video. Stay safe!
Thank you! Will do!
Stay safe. Thanks for the great content.
I learned this the hard way with my fan... The fan only had 2 broken blades so I figured it's fine.. but it caused a chain reaction: nozzle clog (need nozzles which I was the only spares I had) > silicon socks (totally sticky/covered in molten plastic) > molten plastic went up to the thermistor and cause it to behave weirdly, destroyed my heatsink too because the plastic went into the groves and was impossible to clean out totally. Basically, I had to swap out the whole thing, but I didn't have spares on hand. Had to wait 2 weeks for shipment from china 😭 Now I keep a whole hotend set spare and a few spares of the cheap stuff lol.
Been there! That’s why I made this video!
Thank you for the video, it is excellent !!. You always have a smile to give, carisma, and make videos so easy to understand. Thank you again for all your hard work.
-- -- -- Please, be safe, take care of yourself and family. Never give up. From the distance, you are on my prayers. Until next time friend !
Thanks so much for the kind words!
support from Nevada. Stay stay!
Stay safe. we are with you from our big Jewish nighborhood in Thornhill Canada!... Love your channel just got into 3d printing a month ago and I always learn something new from you. Looking forward to the next one.
Good luck dude, stay safe
Another thing to keep spares on hand of with relation to the bowden tube are the compression fittings they slot into. The teeth that grip the tube can break off causing your bowden tube to wobble or even fall out of the extruder.
I agree with the first point BIG time
great video, nailed it. I subbed.
Welcome!!!
be safe my friend.your content counts
All good advice, and stay safe please.
Hope you and your family is safe!
Keep your family safe, that the only thing you shoudt care about.
Thx for all the content you share.
If just ther where some Print for Peace my little Prusa Mini + ( my only printer ) whoudt print asap 😊
thank you for the videos, especially in the current situation, keep safe, hopefully, with the UK and USA help it will get sorted soon ❤
Stay safe Jonathan. I'm praying for both our countries!
howdy friend! glad to see you are still posting even with the current events and "exile". Hope you and your family are doing fine whilst waiting for the situation to get better. Stay safe!
I myself have a lot of spare parts, but I have one broken down printer (a locally built one) and another one (an Anycubic Mega X) that was giving me some issues which sorta made it unusable (not counting the resin printer which is standing for months). I didn´t work on it because I was not in the mood to do so, so I was without printing for the last four months.
Recently (in fact it´s not finished yet, I´m waiting for the DSI cable for the new screen) I totally rebuilt the Anycubic´s electronics. Converted it to 24V (used a Kobra Plus print bed which was a perfect fit, and now I can go beyond 95C on the bed, I tested it up to 120C and it works), put on a direct drive (Biqu H2S Revo), replaced all the electronics (new board is a Manta M8P with a BTT CB1, they were stashed for a Voron build I never started and that´s why I used such an advanced board on the Mega X) , redone all the wiring, etcetera. And now it´s running Klipper (it was before, but it was a basic configuration on the stock Trigorilla board with nothing more than a CRTouch added, now it´s properly tuned,. along with z-tilt and other features). It´s not faster than stock in printing speed (the kinematics can´t handle higher speeds, specially the big 300x300bed, its sweet spot is 35mm/s) but it´s tuned like a charm, getting perfect first layers and layer adhesion now. The new screen ? I already printed and assembled the mount, all it takes to put it in is the new DSI cable, which should arrive tomorrow. The fun fact is while I was rebuilding the printer, I was printing parts for it as well as each step went, so I tuned it and changed some stuff while I noticed it was necessary (for example, heatsinks on the CB1 weren´t enough, it required a fan, we´re getting near 40C ambient temp here in Brasília and the CB1 was overheating).
Having that finished, I´ll start the project on the second one, which is a Brazilian-manufactured coreXY (Sethi3D Farm) which cost me a lot of money and gave me so much trouble that I actually considered throwing it in the bin. But the success on rebuilding the Anycubic gave me hope that I can make that work again (and get rid of some of the "alternative" solutions the manufacturer opted to do on the wiring). However, that will require more work, a new PSU, a new bed heater (it uses AC heating but I´m not confident enough to work with that, specially considering that I´ll make an external enclosure for all the electronics) . I think now I´m in the mood for 3D print rebuilding LOL. This will be a project that will take some time. I don´t plan on filming it because I´m terrible at documenting technical work. I might consider also going to 24V (even though I have two spare 12V PSUs laying around) just because it´s easier for me to source Revo heaters in 24V (can order from Bigtreetech which charges less from shipping than E3D) than in 12V (which the cheapest shipping for me is purchasing directly from E3D). It will also require designing (by myself) a proper BLTouch/CRTouch mount as it uses a weird ABL system with a nail mounted into a optical endswitch which I also intend to get rid of .
And the resin printer, I just ordered an (expensive) new screen (it´s a 8.9), it was working "partially" (I used the half of the screen that worked), now (yesterday) it decided to have its Z axis stop moving. 🤣 Man, I still haven´t got the hang of resin after an year, and I had a lot of trouble (including a catastrophic failure caused by a ruptured FEP sheet which required a lot of replacement parts, including mainboard and touch screen panel), I still don´t see myself working on resin on the long run, it´s too messy for my taste. I pretty much used resin only to make replacement parts for the FDM printer (and a shifter knob for my vintage Beetle), I´m kinda regretting buying a big resin printer (a LD006). After repairing it I might just sell my whole resin setup and stick to FDM which I´m more comfortable working with.
By the way, even when using a quick-swap like a Revo I still recommend having spare nozzles. Accidents do happen (like some errors that make the nozzle crash into printed parts or the print bed, which tend to BEND the Revo nozzlebreak inutilizing it, believe me, I know, I lost a brand new Obxidian 0.6 that way) so it´s best to have spares. And, by the way, the Revo clones found all around in Chinese sites are garbage, they dillate with high temperatures (they aren´t even suitable for PLA) and the nozzle releases itself from the heatbreak, so for Revo nozzlebreaks, stick with original E3D ones.
Hello there! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate your thoughtful message and well wishes. It's always wonderful to connect with our viewers, and your support means a lot. Please stay safe and take care as well! 😊
love your videos and stay safe my friend.
Thanks, will do!
Thank You for the video. Such great suggestions as always. Too bad we don't have a C3PO to plug into our printer. How are we going to know when to replace the "negative power coupling". :-) Seriously, Please stay safe in these troubled times.
What’s the quality like on the AliExpress stuff like? I’ve been away for a while and the cheap stuff was something to avoid. Now my MK2.5S is coming due a big bit of maintenance (and replacement) and I’d like to try do this in as budget way as possible and keep it limping along a bit longer.
Excellent! I already have a few nozzles on hand, but I think I should definitely get some spare thermistors and heater cartridges and silicone socks, as I use one of those crappy glass bead thermistors with incredibly fragile glass wires, however I have not damaged the thermistor even after a year of nozzle changes, and occasional hot end disassemblies. Fans seem plausible, but complete hotends are not practical for me, because the heatsink of my Neptune 3 attaches solidly to the strain gauge ABL system, which has a "proprietary" mounting pattern and I haven't seen spare heatsinks. But I think this is a helpful video either way. Also, I just noticed your end credits include Josef Prusa as one of the Patreon supporters - interesting...
One of the best upgrades I got was E3D'S thermistor, which clips on and off for easy replacement. I used to have the glass bead as well but I always had issues with it jumping out every time I so much as looked at it. It finally got eaten by the molten filament blob monster and I didn't have a spare on hand (like I should have) so I figured if I'm going to order one, it may as well be worth it. I did find out later there were some similar thermistors to the glass beads except they thread into the retaining screw hole. Might be worth looking into.
Can you link me to that? I have an Ender 3 style hotend, just the heatsink is adapted to work with strain gauge auto bed levelling.@@lajoyalobos2009
My best thoughts and wishes are with you and your family...
Hey @thenextlayer Hope all is well and safe with you and your family. Canada supports you! All love my friend.
Have a spare entire extruder for both high and low temperature filaments. In fact I have two for each - why? Well I hate swapping nozzles, and even using different plastics is easier with a dedicated extruder. I have also done my own modifications to some of them (fans, nozzle mod, and part cooling fan outlet) for particular filaments I only have the one 3D printer a Qidi X-Plus, so heavy handed on the spares is easier if you only have the one machine. I also have multiple print surfaces of various types.
@thenextlayer i've got about £700 to buy a printer. I don't wan t a bambu (privacy!). This will be my 1st printer. i'm considering either Elegoo Neptune 4 pro or Flash forger adventurer 5M pro... which do u think i should get or is there another you'd suggest?
You can use carbon pellets intended for aquariums😊
I'm from Ukraine and totally understand You and your feelings. Stay safe and I hope it will finish soon!
Hey man. Super glad to see that you and yours are okay. I *will* speak for the masses and say that you need to worry about you and we'll all still be here when you're able to come back. We know this is a 3dPrinting channel, but if you need to just give updates, please **DO**. Stay safe, and take care!!!!
Also, great video, There's a lot of very good info packed into this video. Keep kicking a$$ and taking names. We'll see you as soon as you are ready. :)
Those plastic ball monster mentions and images gave me some PTSD flashbacks!
Happy to see you again. Glad you and your family are safe.
Hahaha glad you liked the joke :)
Please stay safe an take care of your wife an your two boys!!!! U hope you have found a 'safe harbour'(thats something i dont know if it makes sense in english but thats a phrase we use in Austria for a 'safe' place) so please dont risk something! Want to see content from you a few years longer! I can wait! So please try to stay safe with your family!!
Heater cartridge crimp connection to the wire it's on is definitely a wear part. I have had the crimp become undone after quite so many heating and cooling cycles, and i'm not trusting that whole connection again since the surfaces are likely to be oxidised, i'm not re-crimping it, just put a new heater cartridge in there.
I don't personally use a silicone sock, i just dress the heater cartridge in Kapton tape, but it depends on the construction of the unit whether you want to do that, and silicone does have its advantages, as it's non-stick and can offer some nozzle protection.
Extruder gear is another consumable part, especially on printers where it's brass. Actually if you have a plastic extruder lever, buy a cheap alu extruder for $4 right away and just have it at hand.
Bearings should be considered consumable. They should normally last a long time but one or two might just give up earlier than expected. When a stepper motor seizes up, that's bearing failure, and these are 625 type you can just replace them yourself. Don't worry, the sub $10 stepper motors from China are not precision assembled devices, they are self-aligning, they experience so much shaft warpage and bearing play in real 3D printer use that the alignment is effectively bad anyway, all the precision bits are pre-aligned and epoxied together, as long as you put in the parts in the same orientation and order as you found them during disassembly, just pay attention, it'll work like new.
I hope you settle in well in these trying times and hey being in EU has its advantages! 3 day shipping from Germany and Netherlands typical, frictionless shopping EU wide.
Great to see a video from you, you have my sympathy for you, your family and your country!!! Stay safe and release when you can!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!!
The difference in quality was negligible for me, the message got delivered perfectly as usual 👍 Keep safe!
Stay save mate
Hello, I'm extremely new to the exciting and intimidating world of 3D printing. So new in fact that my first 3D printer, the Creality Ender V3 SE, is due to arrive in the mail in Just a few days. I originally purchased this printer to make miscellaneous car parts and accessories for my truck as the aftermarket support for my particular vehicle is either next to none or all together way too expensive. But, I recently had the idea of making a pair of crystal clear tail light lenses, but have way too many questions with too few answers. Is there any way you could do a detailed video going over everything from setting up and printer setting to post processing techniques that yield the best results for crystal clear lenses?
Hi! Afraid that’s a very niche video! But you’ll want to see the “printing glass” video by CNC kitchen. Crystal clear is very very hard on an FDM printer though!!
@@thenextlayer thankyou very much for the video reference I'll look for it now! I've heard it's a very difficult process but I'm a stubborn, determined individual haha 😆. I really appreciate your response and by the way I love your videos as well!
I had a brand new NDO 9deg stepper motor that died (stopped working completely) in less than a month.
personal enemy PETG? I never, ever had issues with that on the Prusa PEI coated and satin sheets. Similar should be available for your printers :)
It’s 70% humidity where I live!!!
@@thenextlayer Ah, I never thought of your climate there, sorry :) Never had issues here in central europe with my moderate climate.
i hope you and yours are safe first and foremost. if safety means you can't upload then who cares as safety>>>content. i think i speak for everyone when i say that i just hope that you all are safe, and are able to come out of this "situation" safely. i wish you all the best.
Thanks for the video! Something to distract from what is happening now.
If you have Longer, the filament sensor is must!!!! have...Be Safe!
Yes, downtime does indeed suck. lol

Thanks for the amazing video once again my brother. Sending prayers for you and your family during these difficult times. The world might be a hectic place at the moment but we will prevail. Blessings my brother. WE STAND WITH ISRAEL.
Admire your resilience to keep this channel going at a time of war, when you must be so worried about loved ones in harm's way. Sending prayers of שָׁלוֹם
Be safe. Your struggle is in our thoughts.
Just letting you know we are keeping you, your family and your Nation in our prayers. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem (Ps 122:6)
Me and my family stand for Israel!
As a USA resident I kind of live in my own bubble, and wrongly assume unless told otherwise the people I watch on CZcams have their entire universe in the USA as well. I am just wondering why the Israel attack is affecting you as such? Regardless I hope you and your family are doing well.
In some community posts, he mentioned that he and his family live in Tel Aviv. I believe they were in close proximity to the attacks.
he lives in Tel Aviv, Israel. he and his family were able to get out and is currently in Athens. additionally, they were able to open their home to a displaced family of 7
Odd how you weren't called up to defend your country..
I moved to Israel at 26 - too old to serve.
My wife served, but her unit (equipment training) doesn't do reserves b/c the equipment changes so fast.
@@thenextlayer makes sense, wishing you and your family all the best.
Technically, you are the occupiers and I am not surprised that they are trying to regain their independence. For me, it is a shame that you survived and experienced the Holocaust, the ghetto and the issues with the wall. You treat the same as the Nazis treated you. For me this is crazy, because technically Arabs are your brothers, you once spoke together in a Semitic language, Akkadian. What's wrong with you???!!!
Seems like you need to study your history, bud. Almost everything you said is categorically wrong. Check this out: czcams.com/video/XNf40sBcvKk/video.html&themeRefresh=1
I hope both sides will be judged. Both Hamas for their insurgent terrorist attacks as well as Israel for atrocities and ethnic clensing against Palestinian people of Gaza
Israel is not ethnic cleansing Palestine, where have you gotten that absurd notion? Israel has always had the military capability of causing genocide, but they haven’t-why? Because that isn’t their goal. Palestine, however, has always had the STATED goal of erasing and destroying the Jewish people. The reason they haven’t, is because they haven’t succeeded, Israel defends itself. There is NOT moral equivalence between these two sides. Hamas uses their own civilians as physical shields from bullets, and they specifically target civilian non-combatants to murder, torture, and rape.
Check this out before you use the phrase "ethnic cleansing against Palestinian people" please :) czcams.com/video/XNf40sBcvKk/video.html
I’m confused?! So because there was “no Palestinian people before the 1700’s” then they just shouldnt exist? Both sides have and are committing atrocities. The video you linked is from a Jewish Israeli citizen, of course it’s going to be one sided. And I’m not for one side or the other. Personally I believe Israelites and Jewish people should be able to have a homeland of their own but I also feel like the Palestinians and Arabs should be able to have a land for themselves too. I’ll admit, I don’t know enough about the history and wars of the region to have a cemented opinion and honestly the only thing I really have a strong opinion on is that us Americans need to stay out of it. We have so many of our own issues over here that are getting overlooked because our “leaders” are busy worrying about all the other countries in the world and as a result our own people and cities are being neglected and destroyed but I’m curious why it should be okay for one side and peoples to exist and not the other.
@@avgjoeshow4208 the video I shared shares irrefutable facts, not opinions. Watch it and then we will talk about your beliefs.
I think you are a great CZcamsr and have great content, but claiming that attack was unprecedented is an outright lie. I wish you all the best but I cannot support someone with those beliefs, the occupation of Palestine is illegal under international law and has been for decades.
Informative!..
Prayers❤🤙🏻
This was great as I'm purchasing a better 3d printer for my grandson who wants to print stuff for fund rasiers for his {Type! 1} juvenile diabetes Reginal Chapter. He started on a Toy box but I think he has outgrown it. Stay safe!!!
you put the incorrect link for the whambam plate
Fixed thanks!
Please be safe and focus on your family. CZcams can wait and let us know how we can financially support you in this time!
