    After doing research on each of these pieces individually I can report back on whats good and bad (in my opinion). The cable clip can be handy but does require 2 M3 screws of at least 7 mm in size. The extruder pieces including the fan duct and the inner piece require ABS or else they will both melt. The PTFE cable clip is not necessary on printers with included blue spacers. The Extruder filament guide is also unnecessary on printers with a brass insert where the filament go in. The top mounted guide can be useful however many have complained that it can damage filament and that the base is weak and has broken. Both fan guards/silencers are great and don't really have any cons, they both attach with the existing screws and can be helpful in the long run. So all in all the choice is really up to you but this is what I have found with my research. Hope this helps!

    Hello Daniel. I have an 8 years old son, very enthusiastic about creating new tools and gadgets for himself. He is making guns from lego to go outside to hunt "zombies" :) Lately, I had a 3D pen for him. He loved it and worked for hours to "print" his favorite Minecraft sword and pickaxe. Unfortunately, I don't have any budget yet for him to print his own designs. I will give this printer to my future "engineer" to print his favorite "tools". Thank you

    Creality now includes a spare bowden fitting and little plastic clips that go between the gap like seen in the video. Be wary though, sometimes one or both bowden fittings are faulty and don't grip the tube rigidly causing retraction problems. Even the spare fitting can be bad (yes, all 3 can be bad if you got bad luck) causing even more problems. You might want to get a metal extruder upgrade kit.

    Hi,
    New to 3D printing world and going to become Dad. So thought of having this Ender 3 printer to make awesome toys for would be born baby to see her/his smile and get myself relax after seeing my baby's lovely smile. But it is too expensive to buy and her in India very less people are using this 3D printer. So afraid of support like you people are not available in India to support new people. If I get this 3D printer as a winning award it would be good me and for my family.
    Thanks for this video.

    Hello Daniel, for this contest. I've been working in 3d printing industry for two years. I got a lot of experience using 3d printers like Cr -10, Anet A8, flash forge, ender 3 & monoprice voxel. The reason i had to print using these printers is to show the product to the company and my clients. Even then, i had to explain the product that i modeled and printed to attract the client's feelings (including company). It is bad for me to feel that i dont have a 3d printer at home. I gave some of the printed 3d animals & skulls to the young children and old people that i know for years. They always come after me. So to give some smile on them, i gave printed models to them. I like to give printed models to the needy people who needs help and not greedy. I already planned to 3d scan people in the coming years.

    Wow!!! Of all of the 3d printing videos that I have watched, this one was a joy. I am a disabled veteran and retired firefighter. I should say first that I know I am to late for the free printer. But I'll write my comment anyway. I don't currently have a 3D printer, but if things work out maybe I can get one within the next year, or so. I have so many projects in my mind to print. My youngest son is now a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force, as a firefighter. Their are so many pieces of equipment in the job of firefighter and paramedic that could be upgraded for safety as well as usefulness. Everything that I can do to make my son's job as a firefighter and medic more safe and the equipment that they use more useful that is my goal. Remember, I was a firefighter and medic as well. So these are all my brothers and sisters in service. Also, my military time I was in law enforcement, Air traffic control, combat photographer, and drug surveillance and enforcement. So just imagine all of the ideas that have run around my head for the past, nearly 40 years. I am hoping to soon have printer so that I may contribute some of the ideas that I have that will make the men and women in these jobs and services more safe and productive. Thank you for this video. I have subscribed and will look for all of your videos that I have missed. I also "hit" the bell. Don't be surprised if I ask for your guidance as I learn. Thanks again and stay healthy, stay safe, and God bless. Wherever you all may be. #WeWillBeatCOVID19

    This was a great and very helpful video. It was straight and to the points, with no annoying background music. Very simple, clear and concise explanations that are easy to understand and follow. If chosen, I would like to have the Ender 3 to add to my Etsy shop collection of equipment, which currently consists of a small CNC (used for wood) and a small Electronic Die Cutter (used for paper, felt, & foam). I would like to expand my capabilities into plastics, and, this would be ideal. My Etsy shop income helps us (my wife & I) to meet our expenses, as I lost my job almost 5 years ago, and, in America, when you are 50 and above - finding a job is not easy.

    Only found this channel the other day, and I have to say the level of professionalism is great! I've just finished my gcse's and have spent a lot of time learning how to code and make games, I think owning a 3d printer can open loads of doors to programming, like with the use of an Arduino, and I definitely think an Ender 3 is a great beginners printer.

    Hello Daniel, although my son has a hearing problem he has a lot of potential like he is good drawing arts, creative thinking, making cartoons & building objects from scraps. He even created toy photographies by creating dioramas. He knows about 3d printer but we are unable to buy one for him. Because we cant afford to buy one ( i dont believe online ). He started to dreamt about creating animals using 3D pen but how do i get it....its hard to get here in nearby stores. I am really suprised that he got good skills in modeling and film editing. I just want to say that....even a disabled or autistic person can do such amazing things. Thank you for this competition Daniel.

    I have 2 maybe 3 upgrades I recommend. The first is the motherboard fan guard that you had. The second is an extruder guid wheel for right before the extruder. I printed the extruder filament guide that you have on this video, but I don't recommend it due to it adding drag to the filament. Instead I'd recommend a wheeled filament guide that uses actual bearings.

    Hey Daniel.
    For a short while I've been doing some 3d printing, mostly just upgrading my own Ender 3. But Dad's been watching me like a hawk. I haven't really seen him this into something in the longest time. For the last couple of years he's been walking past the only 3d printer that's available in stores here in Norway, and it's really expensive and not so much of a good 3d printer.
    So he's decided not to invest in one, and rather spend his money on his kids, wife, and grandkids. But I'm certain I've relit his spark for 3d printing by bringing the Ender into our house. It's only now I've realized just how much he actually wanted to get into it. But sadly, I'll be moving soon and have to take the Ender with me. And as a student I don't really have the funds to just buy a new Ender for him, heck I was lucky to find one used for a good price. So I'd love to get one that I can gift to him, he really deserves it.

    Why do i need a 3d printer? Because it can help me build mini parts. When i combined them, it could be a huge homemade machine and futuristic inventions ( which i am currently doing ). I have been doing codings in Visual Basic C++ and Python softwares. Buying a 3d printer is not easy for me, i got no income for that. But, i knew there are more people who needed 3d printers than me.

    Teaching students as a product designer lecturer, we have been creating and modelling 3d objects using Blender, Autodesk & 3D Max. We had to print them in 3d store for the final assignments. But yes, we had to save them in Meshlab & fusion 360 before we print. It would be more easy & fast if we have a printer. Unfortunetly, we got no 3d printer of our own and i cant expect/force my students to buy it. Our students are taking this courses through loan. We got to do what we have.

As so many cars leave the market as a metalic cube, or going to africa, you are better off to let it be printed out by somebody then trying to order from the brands company, if possible at all.
    Also was thinking about having a gigantic database of spearparts for anything.
    And I wanted to write a configurator for the internet, where you can pick parts of cockpits and reorder them quickly on my online shop. I guess there are allready people doing things like that, don't have much money right now. Was watching you the first time today, love that biziness.

    I don't buy that the fan can get clogged by small, thin plastic strips. They have to be at least 0.3 mm thick to even have a chance at that and most of the thin pieces that can fly down there, are thinner than that. With the speed that the fans spin and the fan blades thickness, it is far more likely that the fan simply cuts them over and continues uninterrupted. That doesn't mean it won't be a problem though, as half of the plastic pieces will fall onto the PCB, which can cause overheating problems. So the fan duct is still a good idea, but the reasoning here is flawed. Both on that point and a couple others.

    Stepper motors being *a whole lot noisier* than the PSU fan, the shroud for the PSU fans makes no difference in the end. The printer will still be extremely noisy due to the extremely noisy stepper motors. It's like trying to make the surroundings quieter on an active Nascar race track by silencing the mosquitos.

  • @benjo145

    i printed out the PSU shroud and tried that out, but after paying closer attention to the sound and frequency of the fan, i felt it was putting more stress on the fan. i didnt want to risk it failing and the PSU overheating, so i took it off and just live with the fan noise. most of the noise comes from the motors anyway.

    Confusing. You are calling the hot end the extruder, at least according to the common nomenclature. Likewise, the extruder is the machine element that drives the filament.

    Hello Daniel, The reason why i wanted to participate is bcuz i dont have a 3d printer even i learnt the method of using it. I knew that Cr-10 is fast at printing and have the best quality. I havent won anything in my life such contest like this. Sigh....if i win, that means a lot to me. I want to start into 3d printing world. I could do household products and replace the broken items. I created a lot of dioramas from old household supplies. I know it is not easy to win this. There is a lot of people who wants to win too. I know it is hard for you to choose the winner. Count me in Daniel.

    • @spugbgobparewants
      @spugbgobparewants 4 года назад +2

      If nothing is wrong with the sliced file, perhaps you should check if your bed is leveled or not, and whether or not the nozzle is too far away from the bed when at 0 on the Z axis. A nozzle that is too far from the bed when at 0 will often cause prints' first layer to not stick, and cause the printer to have trouble printing curved objects.
      Move the nozzle to a corner, and bring the Z axis to 0. Get a business card, slide it underneath the nozzle, and tighten or loosen the leveling wheel for that corner underneath the bed. When the nozzle is at correct height, you should feel the nozzle pressing down on the business card a little bit, but not tightly. Do this on all 4 corners of the bed.

    About 3 or 4 years ago I stumbled on 3D printers on the intranet. I was in awe of what they could do. I thought to myself all of the things that they could use them for one day. Such as building houses, creating new organs, print parts for or broken down appliances. Things I couldn’t even imagine right now. I was so excited and told my family how big 3D printing was going to be. It was going to be a game changer. I told them that there are 4 things that’s going to change the world. They are Virtual Reality, Augmented reality, Drones an 3D fracking printing. My family laughed, yeah right Dad. I researched 3D printing and found they were just to expensive for me right now. Plus they were not exactly the best prints. I watched for them every now and then on the internet waiting for them to get better and cheaper. I haven’t looked at them for quite some time. But few days ago I happen across the Ender 3 and it blew my mind. I spent the last week watching every video on RUclips about the ender 3. I could not believe the print quality for printer at that price. A long ways from the print quality of the printers I first saw few years ago. The Ender 3 has renewed my excitement. I remember when I used the dot matrix printers and we thought they were amazing. Man how far we have come during my lifetime. I would love to have an ender 3D printer for my first. Thanks for reading my comment.

    I fairly recently just got my first 3d printer and it has been a blast but my only problem is how long it takes to finish my prints and i would love to have a second to speed things up.
    I don't use twitter or instgram so just email me if i manage to win.

  • @fishman0069
    @fishman0069 4 года назад +1

    what about modifying the extruder motor to sit on top of the extruder itself? no more Boden tube. but will have to add another stepper motor with the drive to accommodate the added weight. just an idea. I have had my new ender for 5 days now. many problems i am having. ugh

    • @Crosslink3D
      @Crosslink3D  4 года назад

      Well, this could of course remove bowden issues. On the other hand, you can print faster with a bowden drive. Less moving weight is always better for speed and accuracy. Also the point here was to talk about printable upgrades but I will talk about some other great updates that involve buying new hardware soon.

  • @patrickmaartense7772

    I changed the cr10 extruder by rotating it 90 degrees. that solved moved problems with the filamant path, guess that also works on the e3.

    Hi Daniel!
    Greetings from Brazil !
    I really like your videos, because I have a 3d printer built by myself based on graber i3, and I have already adapted a lot of your improvements on my printer (the fan silencer for example).
    I woukd like to have a professional printer, like your Anet A8, so I could print a lot of boxes and enclosures for my projects!
    Thank you very much!
    Keep doing these nice videos.

    So the PTFE tube I want is 4mm OD?

    • @Crosslink3D
      @Crosslink3D  4 года назад +1

      Yes, 4mm outer and 2mm inner diameter will work. Be careful not to make the hole where you pass the tube through too tight. It might otherwise press the tube too much and it will cause additional friction to the filament. I also installed a spacer at the extruder motor to increase the pressure to the filament because I had underextrusion issues (even without the ptfe tube guide). Maybe do both in combination for best results: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3066664

    No mention to never remove both of the power supply screws at the same time or you're taking it apart to get the fan back up into position?
    I skipped all the Bowden upgrades and went to a Direct Drive and love it, simpler and I can print flex easily! But I really like the PTFE clip, never seen that before and it makes a ton of sense but I'd be concerned about it deforming due to heat creep. Either way, not necessary with the direct drive set up!

    Hi Daniel, love the videos. I'd chose the Ender 3. I currently have an anet A8, and I print items for the local school and charity, which they use to educate disabled and special needs children. They love the models and I can create models unique to the individuals favourite character, which greatly helps them learn and they absolutely love it. I'd love to be able to get better quality that a Ender 3 would give as sometimes I cannot print the models they want good enough, or even at all, and as I dont accept any money for what I do, I can't afford a better printer to do what I want to do for them. You can find me on twitter @riselytom, I don't use it much but I do plan to in the future

    Hi, I planned to get new couplers (with metal teeth) and a Capricorn PTFE tube but leave that tube in one piece. Do the metal teeth couplers and new Capricorn tube + such fitting clip fix the tube moving issue or do I still need to place the small tube piece and the insert piece in the hotend? I feel like one continuous tube with good fix would be better.
