6 Awesome Upgrades for the Creality Ender 3 V2
Upgrading your 3D Printer allows you to keep your printer up to date or even improve its functionality. In this video, we will be looking at some awesome upgrades we applied to an Ender 3 V2. The Ender 3 V2 is an ideal 3D Printer for makers of all skill levels. It is built from years of feedback from Ender 3 users and offers a host of improvements and quality of life updates. The updated display, user interface, motherboard, and adjustment knobs show that the key point of the Ender 3 V2 is providing the best user experience possible. We really enjoy printing with the Ender 3 V2 but we also wanted to see how we could get the most out of the printer. We decided to upgrade an Ender 3 V2 with some of the best components available. The result is a printer capable of consistently producing incredibly high-quality prints. Let’s take a look at the upgrades shown in the video. Wham Bam Flexible Build System: Wham Bam ensures great first-layer adhesion for a variety of filament types. It also produces a smooth bottom layer and allows you to remove prints with minimal effort.

These are much less prone to wear and tear from use. Buy Here: https://www.diyelectronics.co.za/store/beds-heaters/2902-creality-metal-hand-twistbed-levelling-nut.html BLTouch V3.1 Auto Bed Levelling Sensor: Getting the perfect first layer is key to high-quality prints. The BLTouch V3.1 probes the bed and compensates for an uneven bed. This means you don’t have to manually level the bed before each print. In this project, we also had to use an extension cable to reach the control board.

In this project, we used it as a guide for the filament. Buy Here: https://www.diyelectronics.co.za/store/ptfe-tubing/2223-capricorn-xs-ptfe-tubing-for-175mm-1m-long.html Micro Swiss Direct Drive Extruder: The Micro Swiss direct drive extruder is an all-metal extruder that can improve print quality and also make printing in a variety of filaments far easier than a Bowden setup. Buy Here: https://www.diyelectronics.co.za/store/creality/2899-micro-swiss-direct-driveextruder-for-creality-cr-10-ender-3-printers.html 3D Printed Shroud and Fan Cover: It would have been far more complicated to install these upgrades without these 3D Printed parts. The SATSANA shroud provides compatibility for both the Micro Swiss extruder and BLTouch. The fan cover gives the assembly a sleek look while protecting the fan from fingers and debris.
