r/ender3v2

Hey everyone, can y'all help me figure out why this is happening? I have changed my Y stepper motor, tightened my Y axis belt, made sure that the wheels on the Y axis don't have any chips or cracks. I've even changed out the stopper switch on the Y axis and I cannot figure out why these drastic and varying layer shifts are occurring. I have an Ender 3 Pro with klipper on a raspberry pi4.

So this is my current set up for my ender 3 v2. I wanted to budget a semi direct drive and this is what I got. The weight seems a bit much but my prints are till coming out fine as long as I do t increase the speed drastically, is there anything I can do to strengthen the gantry an belt? Hell even the motor? I've read that the weight isn't good for the motor as well.

These two pictures are of one of my three recent prints they all have this issue where the layers don’t seem to be actually connected to each other at first, I figured the issue was that I was using a 1 mm nozzle and the layer height was set to 0.2 so I tried another print adjusting the layer height to the recommended 0.32 and I got the same result, from there, I decided to switch the nozzle to a 0.4 mm nozzle and use a downloaded cura settings file so it would print correctly, the print is not finished, but I’m already seeing the exact same issue where the edges are not adhering to the rest of the print, I have never had this issue before until I watched a YouTube video on adjusting cura settings and that’s when everything started messing up

I’m really happy with how this one turned out. What do you think of the design?

Is it still an ender 3 v2 even with these upgrades?

Been upgrading my ender lots still more to come but here are the upgrades. The black cases i designed my self in fusion 360

Pei bed

Linnear rails for y

Duel z

Bltouch

Hotend:

Tze3 2.0

Direct drive

Board:

Btt skr 1.4 turbo

Rasberry pi 4

More to come

Replace direct drive with the orbiter extruder

Linear x rails

Buying an untested thrift store printer that is.

Update: the deed is done, thanks to everyone’s encouragement and my low impulse control. It’s sitting on my counter and it looks like it’s able to power on…except for the screen which appears to be missing a cable. I’ve got to get to work, so that’s probably as far as I’m going to get today. Rest assured, unless i lose life or sanity, I’ll be back with many many questions. Thanks everyone!

Minor Update: The screen works, cable was taped to the bottom. I was able to run a “leveling”(totally on purpose) before leaving to work.

Not a bad idea! As many of you had said and encouraged me to go for this $14.99 untested thrift store Printer.

I wanted to make an update on how you everything was going. The first print came out looking pretty sharp! As soon as I got home from work I went to work cleaning the bed and dusting the tracks( still pretty dusty). I watched some start up guides on YouTube and read all the comments and advice on my last post for help.

The only real problem I had was old filament stuck in the Bowden tube and tube itself was jammed. I had to disassemble the heat sink to be able to dislodge the Bowden tube and push the filament out. After that I was able to load the white PLA the printer came with. I got the benchy stl off the web and plugged it into cura and was able to start printing. Seems like a success, maybe a bit too successful. I had an easy go with my first print but I’m sure I will still run into hurdles as I try more difficult thing and I’m glad this community is here to help me with said hurdles. Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone. I've started having issues with the bl touch system on my ender 3v2 recently, I had been printing perfectly with pla+ but recently started trying to print some pa6cf and have faced issues since, I've been making my way down the list: upgrading to an all metal hotend, I've had a zip up enclosure. But recently I haven't been able to get my grid to remain consistent. I'll get zeros across the board in the tramming wizard but then it'll look like the Appalachian trail on the grid.

I've replaced the roller bearings on the bed, tightened bolts and screws, watched the gantry lift and drop with little to no wiggle, replaced boards, wires, bl touch itself, reflashed firmware, swapped from a glass bed to g10, G10 to standard build plate on heated bed, I'm not sure what I could be missing.

I'm sure the problem would go away if I flashed an analog leveling firmware but I'm too onery to give up the convenience. Have any of y'all had this issue and what were the solutions?

Hola gente necesito ayuda, compré un auto nivelador para la Ender 3 v2 pero el tema es que no me lo reconoce y el firmware al parecer está check.

La verdad creo que no tengo actualmente manera de identificar si los pines están conectados o con un buen flujo correcto. Vi que algunos componentes vienen con “goma” o silicona. Podrá ser eso?

PD: soy nuevo en este mundillo, lo compré para evitar estar iterando muchas veces en la nivelación, pero ahora no se si fue mejor o peor jajajaja xd

Tô be honest my ender 3 v2 neo is fully working albeit working like shit, do any of u guys know what’s the error with mine? The first photo is the quality of the overhang maybe? And the second is almost perfect but the inside have some holes that I don’t know what causes to happen

So I just bought my first 3d printer and a wire instantly snapped. I tried to kind of stuff it in the hole but it doesn't hold :(

I'm not sure what it does but it's probably important, so I'm asking if you guys know what I could do to fix it?

The wire is the blurry one in the foreground with stuff sticking out and the hole is the 6th socket in the plastic-white thing. I think that's the extruder?

It'd be GREAT if you guys could help :D

So far I have been printing cookie cutters and cable organizers which didn't require support. I just printed Spyro and got the supports off which I'm guessing the first time is a nervous wreck because I didn't want to break the wings but did notice that the wings are not molded. Anything I can do now to fix this one?

I am guessing sand the bottom and maybe do a light flame to fix the wings?
