The Ender 3 is one of the most popular printers of 2018 with a very large user base available online at websites like Reddit, Facebook, and CZcams, all filled with resources which help to improve the experience for a new user or an experienced hobbyist.
New design features improve upon the wildly successful Ender 3 model 3D printer. Improvements to the Y axis improve stability, and the alteration of the control box unit move the fan to the bottom of the unit, no longer under the print bed.
Our all new magnetic bed surface for easy model removal is included stock on the Ender 3 Pro. Easily remove the magnetic print surface from the hotbed and remove models with no spatula or razor necessary.
The brand name Meanwell power supply delivers more power with a stable output ensuring the temperature fluctuations are minimized, especially during long and intensive prints. Heat the hotbed faster and to higher temperatures before making the Ender 3 Pro a much better option for printing ABS and other high temperature high strength filaments.

if the speaker is too loud jut get a piece of soft paper and put it in the hole of the spaker then a piece of tape on it and you won't hear it anymore..... did that on my ender 3 and you barely hear the anoying beep anymore
I would like to say I really enjoyed your video. I'm a noob and just purchased a ender 3 pro. I printed the dog on the sd card, came out great! I downloaded the the ribbon clip file from thingiverse but can seem to print it. How do I do this?
Once you download the STL file from thingiverse you have to slice it in a program called Cura which will make a G-Code for the printer to understand. So you might want to watch a tutorial on how to use Cura.
@@JustVlads Thanks Vlad. I will take your advice.
@Kirigaya Kazuto 5 hours and 33 min from stock settings.
3D printer printing parts to fix itself. The machine is literally self healing!
Skynet...
*random obligatory comment for exposure hi everyone*
Lol
Christine
It’s like people but better
So I made a noob mistake and started printing the tool tray without supports in the slice. Surprisingly the Ender 3 Pro did the cross bar perfectly without supports. I thought for sure I would have to scrap the print 8 hours in when I realized my mistake but it actually drew it mid air with minimal defects. I was blown away.
Yes happy stuff up. S it trip s me out. How it happen s
You don't need supports for that print
Silly me. When you started talking about the extra parts I was wondering where to buy them. Well... if you buy a 3d printer you can just... print the parts.
Who needs to buy you do this for free
Well you need to buy filament but its almost free
😁🙃
durr
Didn't you know that people usually buy a 3d printer to be able to print another one? :D
Denis Khakimov all parts can be printed except for the threaded m5 rods, nuts and bolts as well as 4 nema 17 steppers, a control board, extruder, hotend and a heated bed.
just started 3d printing with filament and resin and your channel has been paramount to my success so thnk you keep up the great work
Great production quality and content. Audio levels, lighting, camera angles, close ups are very good. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Your video is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen when it comes to printing stuff. Thanks for making the process so simple and straight forward.
Great video! My Ender3 Pro arrived yesterday. Following instructions in your video I've assembled it in about 1 hour, and it works great. First print, first success, everything works great!
Damn dude, just got my first ever 3d printer and your tutorial was flawless, didn't even open the instructions and everything went without a hitch! Now i'm off to level the bed, again, amazing work, thank you so very much!
Same. Ender V2> Awesome step by step tutorial
I would love to see a dual extruder mod with this. Printing out a water soluble filament for its supports would be a game changer
Great video. I just set-up my Ender 3 Pro, though I bought it about 2 months ago. I had the same issue with the bed being too far below the hot-end during my first attempt at bed-leveling. I was pretty frustrated but took a break and came back. It worked out much better during my second attempt. Sometimes patience wins the day. These printed upgrades are all really useful because they are practical. I like that. I downloaded nearly all of the files from Thingiverse and will be printing them soon. Thanks for all the tips on this product. You definitely helped me out with an overall understanding of what areas may become pain points in the near future.
Massive shout out to you and your channel, great video and great job listing the "things" you used , I'm new to 3D printing and love my E3 Pro, printing your mods now , also subscribed 👍👍
Thanks for pinning the links to the top. The dog actually prints really well without supports as well
pretty amazing, this machine upgraded itself.
Hey man, thanks for the videos. Really helped me set up my printer. First 3d printer for me, and I'm getting quality prints right off the rip.
I'm thinking about this hobby and seeing all the great things you did to improve the printer with printed objects was very interesting. Great video!
Thank you very much in helping me make my decision. I'm a newbie and I'll definitely be going with the Ender3
Dude, you’re thorough. Congrats on your communication skills. Impressive af.
got the ender3pro for christmas, followed your video to get it put together and setup (first printer for me) really helped alot.
I have been using my Ender 3 Pro for one Month because I got it for Christmas. I am impressed with how clean the printer looks in the video... mine turned so dirty after my first try n' error experience. XD All over, I am thrilled with my printer and I even am going to change to a direct drive soon to prevent some issues my friends got earlier. If the little storage compartment is a bit loose, the tools are starting to get noisy but the sown upgrades are great!
Thanks for the video man!
I’m soo excited, I’m getting my Ender 3 in the mail today !!
Dude thanks for the awesome video, I'm brand new to 3D printing (using it for Miniature terrain making) and I cant wait to do some of these upgrades! Ordered a magnetic bed after seeing how easy it comes off, the standard one is a nightmare
I'll be getting my Ender 3 in a couple days and I love technology so 3d printing really excites me so I'm grateful for this video as I will be able to make a lot of great prints!
Thanks for the tips! Really helped me fine-tune my printer and add some upgrades.
I am astounded at the number of fixes these things need, coming out of the box. Realigning, shims and brackets, cutting stops off of limit switches. This is RE-MANUFACTURING! And you haven’t plugged it in yet! One fellow advocates opening the control box, and making certain all of the wires are tightly connected (two of his weren’t). These can’t ALL be made on Monday. Within my first month in the hobby, two hot ends failed for me (one shorted, one lost control), and the bed was warped. On One the bed was not even attached to the carriage, and the wheels were very loose.
The whole field seems to be in DIY mode, like in video: “We’ll fix it in post...”
I do have to say that the step motor endurance and accuracy is amazing. They are now into X, Y, Z., retaining accuracy over 52 hour builds I remember when HP plotters were leading-edge. And the slicing software...defining vectors for the head to move through space depositing hot plastic. It makes sense to use the xyz for CNC, if the gantry is strong enough to carry the stresses of a serious cutting head.
If you’re accustomed to command-p to print, this field is not ready for you.....leveling, tweaking temps and fans...
Nice. My Ender 3 Pro arrives in two days. It’s my first 3D printer. Your suggested upgrades all seem really good and I will try them all. Appreciate the effort in explaining it all.
Just ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 pro) and I'm super excited. Channels like this one really helps us beginners.
Awesome Video, its great to be able to print some useful mods for this printer, keep up the good work we all appreciate it.
Very use info. I've spent the last few days looking and researching and brain storming which 3D printer to buy as a very first introduction, whilst not blowing a huge amount of money. Looks like my choice was well informed. Looking forward to setting it all up using your video guides and the supplied guide and printing the upgrades first. Thanks again!
i got the ender3 a couple of days ago. i decided to not move the spool, but the z motor spacer and the lcd shroud i already printed. the clip for the feeder came in the kit, two or three of them actually.
i am currently printing a base for 2 drawers that will go where your tub goes. and i have, printed a bunch of cable chain to tidy up the cables at the rear.
today i should have a glass bed, auto leveling and some firmer bed mounts turning up, as well as some blue filament. im going with black and blue colour scheme for the printer.
the feeder knob is on the list to be printed.
love this printer its impressive quality.
my ender 3 will be here very soon, cant wait to do all the upgrades and start to creates 3d models., fun fun fun
The Ender 3 Pro now comes with the clips for the PTFE tube fittings.
Jake J i can confirm
I replaced the couplings and PTFE tubing from the first with Capricorn gear because I heard the grip on the tubing was crap on the originals.
just got mine yesterday and it also came with the clips
also the non-pro version comes with them. also the silicon sock over the heating element, and a branded psu (Comgrow cl-p360w-24v) and removable bed.
Same with ender 5 pro too
Vlad, I have recently bought an Ender 3 Pro and also just watched your video. It's still in the box sadly, work gets in the way. Having seen some of your videos I feel ready to build and print. Thanks mate, really informative. Mick in the UK.
incredible printing quality of your ender!
Its a very good printer and really happy with mine.
I have also added a BLtouch, filament runout sensor, petsfang V2 dual blower version, TL smoothers, metal extruder + the usual printable upgrades.
TL smoothers defo worth installing
Mark Jones can you 3dprint in a MacBook without stressing it out or what the best laptop to get started?
The printable draw and circuit board cover was so helpful
Thanks for making this. All great tips, especially the one about the z axis limit switch. I just got mine yesterday and have been having a lot of problems with it going out of level
Great video. You deliver a very clear presentation. Definitely earned a sub from me. Keep it up.
Been doing research on what pro.terni want to buy. Definitely leaning towards the ender 3. I will most definitely use your content to make upgrades to my machine.
theres something so satisfying about watching this guy clean up and touch up this printer. Idk why.
I don't have a printer yet, but am considering the same one used in this video. Sharp camera work made things easy to see detail. Great tips!
Thanks for a great video. This will be my 5th 3d printer but it's always nice to find a thorough 'what to upgrade video'!
Good video. You're very clear and informational. I was going to note missing thingiverse but I see you added a note with the data.
I'm printing those upgrades TODAY! Especially that filament feed knob.
Thank you for sharing all the upgrades to your printer. Definitely will be adding a lot of the same ones to my Pro. You just received another subscriber. Cheers
Liked, Subscribed, and set alerts. Just bought an Ender 3 Pro and your videos are a great intro! Thank you!
Just bought my dad this for Xmas he has a massive train setup I'm hoping he uses this for. I will be forwarding him this video!
Dope. For shaw. He can 3d print train part s or invent. New part s. An so on. I just got a Lego train set but have book s on train set s are cool as that spend lots of time on them a lots of $ over year s .I'm so hopeing to get one or two of theas ..did u get it thru amazon I'm shaw he will luv it.
Thank you for this demonstration.
are really great upgrades.
The roll holder, now that you have placed it in this new location, the new part with the bearings works well, but if you had two rollers placed parallel, the whole filament roll would be supported and would work much better.
It would easier and less involved to just rotate the attach point roughly 45 degrees.
This is a massive help for a new ender user many thanks 👍
I just got an Ender 3 -- I paid $165 from Amazon with free shipping. These keep coming down; there's now a smaller printer (about half size workspace in each dimension) that's around $100. Once I get it assembled and a space to set it up (I have a plan, just need hours to work) I'll be ready to start printing the upgrade parts -- I collected every part you mentioned here on Thingiverse, so I can find them again quickly.
Thanks for making this video -- stuff like this helps tremendously for those of us who are late to the party (because we don't have bleeding-edge budgets) get caught up. I've been saying for the past year I need to get a 3D printer -- now I just need to get it busy. And then, once I have have everything dialed in, I need to go through the learning curve for ABS, both for chemical/mechanical reasons, and so I can smooth my prints with minimum effort.
5:16 - Mine actually arrived with those clips lol
Finished the vid, and thanks for the recommended prints!
The mod for the loose bed in just what I needed! I wondered why the table adjustment wheels were so loose.
I like the tone in your voice. Thanks for the vid on the ender 3 upgrades. :)
I'm making a CZcams channel just for these types of videos, all these real life videos, news, talking faces are making it hard to appreciate this amazing hobby i just fell into. Omg, What? a 3D printer that can print it's own upgrades? Drone replacement parts and upgrades? My head is going to explode with the number of possibilities!
I received my ender 3 pro today and followed the video. It is pretty helpful guide Just provided. Great thanks.
Much appreciated, esp the tip on the Z axis limit switch. Mine was way too high too!!
Where did you get the file for this? :(
been researching this printer for a couple of weeks now (this is my first printer) and will definitely do almost all these mods (shaving that one piece at 3min20sec to help level the bed may be a pass initially, lol) - great video overall!!
Lol, I love it. Printing out upgrades and fixes for your 3D printer from your 3D printer.
With all the NEGATIVE reviews about this, it’s nice to see a POSITIVE one with some nice upgrade options.
I just ordered this and it will be my first venture into 3d printing. I ordered some other suggested upgrades right off the bat (extruder, PTFE tube, nozzles/coupler and a glass tray), so I’m hoping for good things and can’t wait to print that tool tray, ribbon clips and knob.
Stay positive! ;)
Been looking real hard at the Ender 3 Pro...…. and thanks to you, now I gotta have one! It will come in handy in my RC airplane hobby and more! Thank again for making this video!
I just subscribed. I've watched your vids and enjoy them a lot. I also a have an Ender 3 Pro. I watched you setup video when I first received mine
Thank you for the information you provided. I am so new to 3D printing that I only printed one thing. The dog you printed in your second video I watch. All of the items you showed on those two video will be printed on my printer as soon as I can figure out how to down load them to my computer. Thank you again.
Wow. Awesome video’s Sir! And all around good thoughts with explanations that I could understand. Now I know I need to get an Ender 3 pro too:) Thank you for making this. I’m a new subscriber for sure😉 Cheers
just got into this,and i must say...amazing info and content.many thanks for the upload...subscribed!!!
My Ender 3 Pro is due for delivery today! Might be delayed due to the snow and cold weather we are experiencing! Great video with suggestions to improve the Ender 3 Pro!!
How is it?
@@voldy3565 Walter was so excited that when it got delivered he passed out, he is still trying to recuperate. Give him a few more weeks.
Bobcatt22 It’s been a few more weeks
@@WealthyDragonMindset just a few more weeks
@@voldy3565 Now he's accidentally printed himself into a corner. He can't access his keyboard to reply.
Just got my Ender! Thanks for helping with some upgrades!
I built my Ender 3 pro following your video, much better than the official instructions!
NIce Printer , wish I had one here as a second Printer absolute Cool what you did for upgrades
Thinking in getting a Ender 3 Pro. Thanks for the video and ideas!!!
Just so you know i recently bought the ender 3 pro from Creality.It came with the PTFE tube couplings to make sure it doesn't come out when doing retractions.
To tone down the speaker (piezo buzzer), simply put a piece of electrical tape over the hole. Awesome tutorial... bought my Ender 3 Pro yesterday and can't wait to get out to my shop to assemble it.
Thanks for your upgrades videos, trying to decide wich printer to buy for my first 3D. Help a lot
Hey Vlad! thanks for the video! just got my ender and printed the dog as the first print! looks great. One little hack for the magnetic bed though.. if you put it on backwards it actually lines up better. Thanks again for the upgrade ideas!
I recently bought one of these and it comes with those shims for the Bowden tube
Thank you! I only have the Ender 3, but this was very informative... Thank you for the upgrade info!
Just got my ender 3 pro today, i'm printing my first print ever now
How was it? I get mine next week 😄
@@tristane3444 i really like it i have printed pla, petg and nylob already
I just got a ender 3 thank you I needed this
As of February (When I got my printer) the Ender 3 does come with a plastic mod for the issue with the coupling problem, so they’re at least aware of THAT issue as of now. Lol
Yes, but I just bought mine in Dec 2020 and they still haven't taken the time to actually fix it. They're still sending the spacers to fit on top of the coupler.
@@cypsrp7924 The spacer is there to open the coupler. Put in the bowden tube and push firm , than take the spacer out and it is fixed.
Just bought one today! Counting down on when I get it! thanks for all of your tips!
I personally don't recommend using bearings on the spool holder, but all my experience is with direct drive extruders. Might work better for bowden, but you generally want a little bit of drag on the spool to prevent it from unwinding too fast, or else you might get some slack on your spool which might fall off and get snagged on something. Almost certainly a bigger issue with direct-drive over bowden, but just sharing some of my experience.
great video and awesome upgrades I am looking to pick up my first 3 d printer and the ender 3 and ender 3 Pro are at the top of my list. so seeing the cool upgrades the printer can make for the machine is so cool thanks so much for the links and info Subbed for more The Patrick's
Patrick's WorkShop so what did you end up purchasing ?
I just bought an Ender 3 Pro from Amazon. It came with a few of the pressure fitting clips.
Thanks for that info. I just got my Ender 3 pro and had the issue with the micro switch being too high making it difficult to adjust the surface gap. Trimmed off the small tab as you did and was able to have a positive gap adjustment without running out of thread on the adjuster wheels.
Nicely executed upgrades. Thanks for video.
5:10 Mine actually came with these clips injection molded! I like that they take working solutions and include them in the kit. A different fitting would be nice, but why make the printer that much more expensive if the clips work this well.
About the magnetic mat...
i kinda destroyed it in the first day i got the printer, but while i had it, it was pretty cool!
Excellent Video, I just purchased an Ender 3 Pro this information and downloads will help. thx for doing sharing this information.
This is also cool to give your printer accents of color other than just straight black and metal
Got my ender 3 pro today. The pressure fitting was included. To bad it was useless. I put a small plastic piece against the tube and slide it in (0.1 mm i think) and now it works.
I don't know if you know this or not by now, but you can get stepper motor smoothers for the X, Y, Z and E axis for your Ender 3 (and 2, 4 and 5 too) that will get rid of all those layer lines you mention. It made such a HUGE difference in my prints that I am touting the gospel of the smoothers! Good luck and great video.
Which smoothers are you using?
I like how creality added a lot of these upgrades to the V2
If you could, what upgrades from the series here did they add? I don't want to spend the extra on upgrades that are already present xD
very cool! I like the review and It's really reflects the reality for me :) ! thanks bro! keep posting
Great video! My Ender 3 Pro comes in tomorrow :)
Now that you have so many 3d printers you should make weekly videos on things to 3d print for tech you have reviewed that week. This could be really useful if we wanted to improve tech we get.
Good tray - as you probably know, over time pla will shrink and that tray will slide easier. Maybe there are filaments that are designed not to shrink over time but all my builds shrink, which makes it hard to have any pieces built originally with some precision remain in that precision over time.
Your builds do look nice, good examples.
I totally agree about mounting that spool way up in the air where it will rock the printer.
You want just a bit of drag when you use bearings on the spool holder - otherwise the momentum can overrun the draw rate of the bowman feeder. Happy accident it ended up canted just enough on your design.
The bed so high with that small piece in the sensor bracket is because the Ender 3 Pro comes prepared for the glass bed already, I think. Once you leveled the bed without it, there's no issues leveling again, except if you want to put/take out the glass sheet.
This is great, thanks Vlad :) Something to point out is how important is to upgrade t he firmware too, so maybe you could do a tutorial about that, how to install a bootloader, flash a new firmware and make sure the thermal runaway protection is active.
I second this! I installed the latest Merlin tonight and the quality improved tenfold (okay, maybe I fiddled with settings slightly as well)
Attention to Detail gives better results.
Thank you sir for your video :)
Just got the Pro V2! it is awesome...
SOLD! thanks for the tips and tricks!
I had forgotten just how noisy those stepper drivers are, best upgrade ever was the SKR mini booard with the 2209's , hard to hear the printer moving now
