Since there are quite a few of us with Ender 3/Ender 3 Pros, I thought I would start a thread with a general discussion of the printer. I figure anything and everything can go here...
I will start it of by listing out the mods I have done so far to the printer.
Printed Mods:
Filament guide. Located at
ThingiverseFan cover. Located at
ThingiverseCable protector. Located at
ThingiverseTray. Located at
ThingiverseCable/Ribbon clips. Located at
ThingiversePhysical mods
All metal extruder from
HereNew stiffer bed springs - Can't find the link
Capricorn Bowden tube -
Capricorn. These things are awesome. Slippery tube. Helps with print quality by eliminating some snagging. Can't recommend it enough.
All metal hot end from
gulfcoast robotics. For the hotter PETG filaments.
Micro SD to SD convertor cable - A generic item. Saves wear and tear on that tiny socket.
SKR Mini E3 V1.2 32 bit systemboard from
BigTree. Running Vanilla Marlin. Faster processing. Able to do more to the printer.
FT35 V3.0 Upgrade Touch Screen Controller Display with WiFi Port for SKR Mini E3 from
BigTreeBLtouch auto leveler
BLtouchI had been using the treated glass that came with the printer with a lot of luck... but recently, it seems to have stopped working as well as I want.
So... I ordered on of the magnetic flexible build plates and that seems to be working pretty good. I do have on order though, a PEI build plate from
Gizmo DorksI have some other mods in the wings to happen. need to finishing printing some stuff first.
All in all, I would say this is a fantastic little printer. I am able to print a lot of highly detailed things. And enjoying it while I do so.
Any questions about my mods?
What have you done to yours?
What do you plan to do?
How is the Ender 3 working for you?
What issues are you running into?
What are you planning to print on it?
