Extending the Ender-3 Pro to be Extra Long
Vložit

- In order to better create my designs on the Ender-3 Pro, I decided to focus on building a bed that could print within an extended space of 6" x 22." This is a longer walkthrough of how to build my extra long conversion. The 4040 v-slot determines the max length with 8 inches the max width. In theory you could modify the design for a print space of 8" x 32."
This is awesome. Here I am printing printing track pieces on a diagonal on the bed trying to make as long a piece as I can, and you just said screw that. If I had more free time I'd love to try a modification like this, but for now I'm just biding my time until the belt printers become more available.
I hear ya. Here's the whole process czcams.com/video/7LjVdB0vq8I/video.html
Looks like something I would like to impliment on my Ender Extender 400xl
Awesome, I already missed your videos, you are so creative but you delay a lot between each video, I got it, you are super busy, it's only my anxiety to see more from you, cheers man!
It looks like you could benefit from the Creality 3DPrintMill.
So I think about this a lot. Is a 3D Print Mill, which is still in its early life, the best way to go about making long parts instead of building a bigger printer like this? My reasoning is that to build long prints you still need external support to catch & hold the print so it doesn't tear off of the bed. You'd essentially be using the same area as a long printer like this.
Do you buy a well developed printer concept or a new printer technology that still has yet to prove itself?
Or do we buy the shiny and buggy new tech because its exciting to be an early adopter?
Frankly I'd likely go for the 3DPrintMill because of its cool concept and I desire to own all styles of 3D printers. (Delta, CoreXY, etc.)
Thoughts?
@@Joemussa I think for long prints your points are very valid and definitely something to think if thinking of getting one. However there also are ways to use the 3D Print Mill that benefit from it without needing the extra room, namely printing multiples.
@@Joemussa a 3D print mill without thinking. Just look at the mass that is being moved around. Even with CoreXY you still can't match the benefits of the mill design
No way this is way better IMO. No belt to mess with prints like a normal printer. This is awesome!
Thank you for the video, I have an extended Ender but mine is in the Z axis. I printed C3PO and needed the longer z for the shins, thighs, torso, etc to print as one piece or at least fewer pieces. I'm in the process of installing the Ender Extender kit for 400 x 400 xy to go along with the 500 z.
You can buy the black angle corner connectors on Aliexpress at a much lower price. The only problem is that it may take 1-2 months to receive it in the mail.
Awesome build, i feel like this would suit me perfectly and as i have a E3 doing not much, i reckon it would be a good DIY project
Here more details on the build czcams.com/video/7LjVdB0vq8I/video.html
Nice build! I would suggest that you beef up that Y-axis stepper motor. I got mine from ender extender.
that is a cool conversion. nice
That is a great job
Awesome Mod, can you link the site for the heating elements, Keep up the great work !
I'm going to be selling them from projectender.com if you want one.
@@FrogCube that website doesn’t exist. Shelve the idea of selling kits?
@@DevonsWorkshop yeah. No one was interested. And I had issues sourcing parts.
@@FrogCube That’s a shame. I’m interested. Going to attempt a 9”x24” y-axis extension on my Ender 3 S1 Pro. The dimensions you chose are exactly what I’m looking for. Found some v-slot extrusion, JSR bed heater, and trying to find someone that will cut a custom carriage plate and bed. Would have rather bought your kit. Searching and sourcing all the right parts is time consuming.
This is amazing
@Frog Cube nice work, im interested with the kit except for the glass. i think I will just source the glass near in my place. When is the kit will be available?
Thank for your video.🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
Do you take print orders? Your setup looks large enough to build what I need
How much did this all cost? I saw the openbuilds parts were about $70, and you said the heater was ~30-35, but that doesn't include the glass, the aluminum and other odds and ends. :) Thanks! This is awesome!
I'll be offering a kit on projectender.com for $200 to do everything. Here's a video of the process czcams.com/video/7LjVdB0vq8I/video.html
@@FrogCube when do you think those will be available? And what will they be for, E3/pro/v2?
Also, do you also have the Justin Miller channel? I think that's where I first heard of projectender.
@@brandoneich2412 Yeah. That's me also. They will be for the Ender-3 V2, but they work for the Ender Pro also. The main issue is the beds. I need someone to drill the holes in them. But i found someone who will do it so they will sell the beds and I'll offer everything else.
Have you done some taller prints?
Is there a reason why I can't make it 450 mm by 900 mm? I already have an ender 3 Max that's been extended.
I made one. Ended up putting it on a different channel. But here’s the process czcams.com/video/7LjVdB0vq8I/video.html
This is ridiculous, in the best way possible!
do you have allbthe link and list fir that build
How big i can make my ender 3 in all 3 axis? Can i go up to 1*1*1 meter??
Went to the comments to see if anyone said anything about the pron hub tabs at 7:00 but found nothing :C
Not sure what your question is. I’ve revamped the design since that post and have a video that explains how to build the system if you’re interested.
Here’s that link czcams.com/video/7LjVdB0vq8I/video.html
😂 good catch. Cant get anything past the eyes of the internet. @FrogCube hes saying youve got some adult site tabs showing in your chrome browser at 7 minutes into the video.
Great video but way too many "ums"
Imagine doing this with an ender extended printer that's volume is 400 x 400 x 500, wait u could make it 400 x 610 x 500 , the larger ender 3 lmfao
You may need to consider buyng a 3d printer mill :D
