I purchased the Ender 3 Pro from Micro Center just about a month ago. There was a special coupon that made this printer $100! I couldn't resist, so I bought one. I want to see what it takes to make this Ender 3 Pro'ish into an amazing machine! First upgrades will be the Creality #CRTouch and #TH3DStudios solid bed mounts.

Nice video! Only the parts about the Z offset and the G28 went way to quick for a newbie.. the res i could follow!
Gone through 8 videos and everyone brushing past the firmware install like its the easiest thing. wtf you mean go into slicer and add g28 and g29 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. I have a zip file with so many files on it and dont know if I should extract them or what file to use. I need a go to this site download this > extract this and put it here > use this software to go into something called slicer and add this code > take card plug into here > use pad to select this option to install firmware > ect ect
people who are adding these parts should know what all that means
@@elizarr3069 that's a crap response 😆... "people should know how to use their printer like I do and understand programming and coding and computers like I do in order to use their printer" with this too that seems relatively plug-and-play. Nobody needs to gatekeep anybody from enjoying a hobby.

For anyone wondering if its worth it... I got this upgrade a couple of months ago, the day i installed it was the last time i leveled my bed and a bunch of prints later i get perfect first layers.
TLDR: I love it
Unfortunately my printer never worked again
I have still yet to level my bed, and I have the Cr Touch, I have a hard time getting a level bed.
@@JWabinski do you need the solid bed things that replace the springs?
I just got my Ender 3 Pro a month ago, brand new straight from Creality. I was surprised how seemingly oppressive Creality has become to mods compared to the older videos I've seen. They changed the power supply to a model that's a bit different, so relocating it with brackets for my dual Z axis was a challenge. Then I got to the mainboard, and that was a struggle. So much wrapping around the cables, opening the box was annoying with that third top screw right under the bed, and they literally hot glued in all the connections to the board. I was pretty shocked.
I just bought one for the same discount at Microcenter and the thing is awesome. I've never got into 3D printing because I assumed I'd have to shell out a fortune and invest a lot of time due to a high learning curve but it's been so easy to use right out of the box. Tons of tutorials now on youtube so there's really no excuse to mess anything up. I used my girlfriends coupon but I got one coupon for myself and she wants one after seeing how awesome it is so we'll probably buy another before the sale ends. I've been playing around with modeling in Blender for the past year or two so now I can combine the two hobbies and couldn't be happier. This CR touch will probably be my next purchase although I haven't had any issues bed leveling manually so far. So far, I've had multiple prints print seemingly perfect without having to re-level the bed.
just got it as a 3rd printer for my farm and i got it there for 100!
I threw silicon spacers under "Old Burner" as well and have not leveled my bed for months. Nice video John. I do like the overlay edits you are using now.
Can you please explain in detail how to do that last process after renaming to firmware.bin? I’m a newbie and I don’t know how to do it. I’m on a Mac btw
Hey John, so I’m having some issues. I have the cr touch, purchased those things for under the bed. I’ve tightened the nuts under the bed so it doesn’t wobble but I’m still having issues getting a proper print. The left side is still higher than the right. So the filament still isn’t attaching properly to the right side as I can get the bed even when doing the z offset.
I know it’s a lot information but I’m so stuck and haven’t been able to print a mask which is why I purchased the printer in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ty for the vid it was super helpful
Question what program was used to edit gcode? Anyway you can show that part more in detail
Nice guide. I have one question: Do i need to level my bed manually at first?
I used the link for firmware and now have a corrupted screen.... shows about half and can make out everything up to having to input my z offset so nice i guess..
Older Ender 3 Pro printers have a screw on top next to the center rail that needs to be removed also They are also running an earlier board which requires an adapter board as the board like teh 1.1.4 does not have a connector for the Touch Best option is to just upgrade to a silent board
Thanks... Didn't realize it until I tried to actually install the CR Touch...
Thanks, ran into this issue today trying to install it!
silent motherboard, and some noctua fans.. so good. the only thing that still makes "excessive" noise is the power supply fan that goes on once in a while. its the only one i didn't bother changing. but there are some mods available for that as well.
i know this is late but after i installed the firmwere my prints started to come out badly again when i first got it when i was still learning cura and i was wondering if you could show how to add the g29 to the g-cod
What Firmware should I use for the board?
you saved me so much headache. every other guide is over a year old and outdated. thank you so much.
Still watching..... (done now)
"G28G29"? I thought they had to be on separate lines to work. Seems that was an issue on a hangout stream not long ago.
I think there's an STL somewhere for that notch in the extrusion to cover the sharp corners. Might want to at least add some tape around the new wires to help prevent chafing.
It might not be as well made as initial thoughts. Bit of give in the casing when you seated the plug.
I should check if my SPACERS! came w/ that strain bracket. The OEM sits up enough that I had to carve out a "no-go" rectangle in that corner for the petsfang duct. Funny, I bought them over a yr ago and still haven't installed. Yellow springs FTW so far.
Im so confused, how do you put the SD card in the PC? How do you put the info on the sd card?
Mine levels fine, but when it goes to print it starts way to high. Even though when it levels it looks fine, I even tested the z offset but it either went to low or high. Someone mentioned the fade height and I saw mine was set to 10, so I am gonna test if that's causing an issue and if so how to turn it off. I turn it to zero but it goes right back to 10.
I got confused after downloading the firmware I don’t know what to do after that
Why does your file say marlin 2.0.1? And could u explain the slicer part, so confused.
so i cant flash the firmware and ive tried everything please help
Thanks so very much
Es hat alles geklappt aber leider fährt die Z Achse beim homen nicht nach unten sondern nach oben haben sie einen Tipp für mich
Vielen Dank
great job
What about 3 pro ?
My 2 cents, after wondering why the nozzle would seem too close to the bed. Make sure to heat the nozzle and the bed before starting the print or hardened filament on the nozzle you may have missed will give a bad reading when the CR Touch starts leveling. I've been printing much better since.
What’s this g9 stuff?
While sniffing the zip tying, I snapped my screen cable 😫
Never mind read where someone said about explaining about renaming file.. weird.. was pulling hair out and had watch a dozen vids on it but couldn’t get it to work.. just had to rename bin.. good vid
I just picked up an open box CR Touch at microcenter for $35 so this is cool to watch so I know how to install.
Wow $35! Now that is a deal, even if it is missing some parts. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Can’t get my ended to read the bin file.. downloaded from ended but doesn’t do anything when turned on.. any suggestions.. I formatted the sd card but still nothing.. does it need to be renamed to work?
yes. rename to firmware.bin
I just tried doing this, this hardware install went well, however, after attempting to put the new firmware on the SD card, my ender screen does not do anything or respond to input. The screen lights up, but nothing else and the 3D printer does nothing. What can I do to fix this?
Did you solve this issue. If so how? I’m having the same issue
same here but i can use the touch screen i just cant print anything
Tried replacing sd card that what was wrong with me
You might have flashed the wrong firmware I had the same issue you should put the sd card back in the computer and double check your files on it
So I'm having a problem renaming the file, I'm on a hp laptop and it wont give me the option
I never had an issue renaming. Did you uncompress the file first (unzip)?
hey im having an issue with my ender 3 pro where after 30 seconds into the print it will start going in a straight line in one direction until the end of teh board as if it froze mid order. any solutions? i did some troubleshooiting as is, the screen still ends print and it still extrudes well for the first 30 seconds of the print.
I am having the same issue. have you been able to fix this? If so what did you do?
@@nextstepconcealment7139 don't use the cl touch firmware. Still use the bl touch even tho u have cl touch.
In your opinion is the cr touch better than the abl probe?
At this point I cannot say. Only been using for about a week. Might have to do a comparison test. I like that it has a metal probe vs the plastic one on the BLTouch.
Good video. Thank you.
Question... I have an Ender 3Pro, but somehow the firmware got corrupted. It won't print anything anymore. So I would need to upgrade the firmware, but it's the old original board so there is no bootloader. Do you think it would be worth investing in a new motherboard for this box, or just wait and save up a bit more for the new Anker printer coming in the Fall? (The Anker impresses me in that it already has all the upgrades built in out of the box that I would want to put on my Ender)
I tried printing some of the sample prints off the included SD card and they were not completing. Then I tried flashing the firmware, to the newest for the CR Touch, and was getting some weird machine behavior. Wound up being the included SD card was faulty. At the time this video was published. I had already swapped out the stock 4.2.2 board with a BTT SKR Mini E3 v2.0, and replaced the display to the BTT TFT4.3. This machine out of the box had some issues. Also that the Ender 3 Pro no longer ships with the Meanwell PSU as it was originally advertised to have. I think the decision is for you to make. You can dump a lot of money into the Ender 3 Pro'ish printer, the final cost could even be close to a Prusa by the time you are done. I have done 3 additional upgrades that will be in future videos. Those 3 upgrades come to about an additional $200. Now, I purchased this printer for $100. At this point the printer is now a $340 printer. If you like doing upgrades over time, then go for it. If the Anker truly is what what we have see, it will be a game changer for this space. Anker is also a very well established company. However, I am not a fan of KickStarter, just because there is no guarantees of product delivery or refunds. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@TripodsGarage can I put like normal PLA 3D filament in 3d printing
I don't get where you see the offset. I have an Ender 3 Pro. Every time I try to get it to work the filament does not stick. The nozzle is a bit too high...
Hey, I know this is probably too late to help, but z-offset can be found under the "tune" option while a print is in progress. I'm not sure if it's anywhere else. I use the firmware it came with and everything, and I only got a printer a few months ago so I'm pretty clueless with this stuff myself.
@@gotham_michael thanks, I figured that out and then started having issues with the nizzle being too close to the bed.
@@marioreyes9955 ah yeah, I've had those issues before too. If that's still an unresolved issue, then the only things I could suggest looking at was ensuring that the bed was level or raising the offset higher up.
Yeah... ill be buying my crtouch today and those springs were TERRIBLE I've never seen springs so weak great video!
I'm very confused on the firmware area?
He was using MacOS so if you are using windows, I’m sure you can find another video going more in depth on how to do so.
How did you do that part in 6:28?
It is in the description, also provided the link below.
www.creality.com/products/cr-touch-auto-leveling-kit?spm=..page.products_display_1.1
I don’t understand, I set it up using the video, now the plastic is squeezed out and falls onto the table without adhesion.
You'll need to set the Z probe offset, the probe checks the distance between the bed and the nozzle and raises 10mm after that, it is relied on you to move axis: Z the nozzle after it has homed Z back to 0, this should get you close to your bed... then you drop the nozzle into the negatives (using the move axis: Z menu) with a paper under your nozzle and bed to get to that 0.1mm clearance between the bed and nozzle, once you get the correct tension of the paper against your nozzle- that is your Z probe offset the negative number on your Z axis Move screen, take that number and input it into the Z probe offset menu and save settings, hit save settings twice.
Now when the machine homes Z with the probe, it will know to be 0.1mm from the bed from your newly input Z probe Offset value (for mine it had to be dropped -3.7mm to achieve the 0.1mm between nozzle and bed) and then the probe/nozzle will raise 10mm again. Once you start a print, it will probe the bed (G29 command in Slicer Start Gcode) and then compensate for your layer of glue stick or bed changes from thermal expansion and then lay down your first layer.
I can’t find the cr touch firmware on their website
Hi Dalicia, please check this video: ruclips.net/video/5sGYMfP1tgc/видео.html, did you fix it, if it still doesn't work, please email me at yafantch@gmail.com, i can help.
I believe you can use the bl touch firmware for cr touch
¡Gracias broder me sacaste de un pedote!
Thanks! Much appreciated 👍
I installed this lastnight. A good leveled glass bed will last months. The only benefit I see is if, like me.. you use multiple types of beds. this will definitely help in that situation.
what are those soild bed mounts you using there?
Those are from TH3D, put a link in the description. I would only use them if your bed is perfectly straight. Otherwise, upgrade to stiffer springs
Great video! I purchased my crtouch several months ago but felt fainted by the install. You showed that there is nothing to be worried about. Bonus: I don't have to muck about with the z stop when I readjust my silicone bed mounts!
Im having issues with my install. the printer keeps completely freezing and wont print anything. Did you run into this issue? All of the firmware also seems to be on their google drive for some reason as well - is that where you got your firmware update?
@@nextstepconcealment7139 I'm still working through it. I purchased a crtouch for a 32 bit board but mine was an 8 bit. I've now upgraded the board, but not yet reinstalled the cr or tried to update firmware since I have other problems that have materialized. Honestly, I wish I'd not gotten this 'upgrade'.
Gone forever, is every part I've ever dropped....
Nice video but it started a bit slow and ended really fast, the most complicated things you passed quickly on
I think there should be a warning before anybody begins this upgrade. I bought a CR Touch and a filament sensor only to find my printer had an older board. So I bought a new board. Try finding firmware for it! What a pain in the butt. I finally found the firmware but it's in Chinese! Bloody hell!
The firmware defaults to Chinese after an upgrade. Push the knob, and select the second to last item on the menu. You can then select your language. Don't forget to save the settings.
why doesn't he just 3d print the solid bed mounts
Because these have metal inserts
seriously not one of you hobby boys can break down firmware update lmao
Seriously someone has to like their own comment lmao
Thanks the instructions are very unclear
Will be sure to use a picture book the next time.
great job
