Ultimate Beginner's Guide to 3D Printing - With Creality Ender 3 V2

Very informative man. Thank you so much. Subscribed👍

thanks

Hello, I also use an ender. It stays in auto home. The nozzle now presses on the bed. I know you can tell with the z ax switch, but that doesn't work now! There is no reset either???

Everything keeps saving as a zip off thingaveerse?? No way to change this?

Great informative video. Thanks!

doesn't hairspray and heat create explosion???

I got an offer to get an Ender 3 V2 for $99 (new) is this still a good choice for a beginner? Is there something better at that price point now?

Its such a shitty printer. I get mine, follow instructions but time and time again I run into a new problem. I dont understand how your worked fine right out of the box and im over here fucking struggling.

New to Ender 3 Series and am 51 years of age, learning new every day. Please forgive my ignorance.
Recused an Ender 3 from being thrown away. I refurbished the machine.
Machine Upgrades: 4.2.7 board with 2V screen, Cr Touch, and Spider hot end.
What is a good firmware to use?
Please and Thank you.

you lost a lot of us with the setting, we dont know what we are changing. do you have a video of settings tutorial?

Do you do classes

How do I know what temperature it should be? And also how much does it cost for a print by itself? I need to know because im getting a 3D printer to save money by printing it instead of buying it

Brilliant just looking at 3d printing for my model plane parts great combination

i just orderd my ender 3 v2 and i got petg filament, should i also get some pla or should it work ok?

just purchased thanks for the video!

If I'm able to print after watching this video I'll be very shocked. I seen the word basic in the title of the video. I basically thought I would buy this thing, bring it home and just be able to print something. Whoops

Does it work on cromebook

Homing xyz has been taking like 20 mins and nothing

Can you make a video showing how you can print your own CAD creations on this printer

Do you build your own airplane parts or create them yourself? If you create them do you have to have software?

What a great explainer video. Just what I've been looking for - thank you. Subscribed!

my 3d printer is not reading the sd card how do I fix that?

Thank you!!!!!!! Very informative!

Can u copy items like a bottle lid for eg and print it

Very informative video, thanks for this! I just got a 2nd hand Ender 3, and this will certainly help me get started 👍 Cheers from France!

I'm gonna be a debby downer. I had this printer didn't like it at all and returned it within a week. Put it together like the instructions said. But didn't print at all. Way too much precise work to get it to do anything. And the gluestick method is horrible just like the Flashforge Adventurer (absolute horrible printer). I got Cura, that was okay to do but man it didn't print anything.
Whatever happened to the perfboard? I have a few Tiertime 3d Up printers and they all have a perfboard, you clean nothing, you spray nothing, you glue nothing. It's clean, works perfectly. All modern printers have this glass or bendable plate but whenever you print you have to wash the damn thing for 30 minutes. Does anybody have a good alternative to an Up Plus 2? I tried about 4 other printers to replace it but they were all inferior by miles.

I have a problem, when I try to print the file nothing happens, it just sits there

Just found your channel. Great video. You helped me decide which 3D printer to get. I have subscribed and look forward to your other videos.

Can the printer print using a usb cable?

I have my ender 3 v2 unassisted right now, but I have a run-out sensor coming. Can I assemble it first time with the sensor? If so how do I make that mod during this step? Thanks

After buying an Ender 3 V2 like a year ago, half-building it after delivery, then throwing it in my closet...I finally finished putting it together a few hours ago! It took some troubleshooting to fix some crashing my sloppy assembly caused (had a motor plug inserted where the extruder plug should have been and vice versa) and finally, finally, I was ready! I was to print...a kitty cat. So I loaded up the file, more minor troubleshooting getting the filament to feed...then...it fed! But...but...the filament is just dragging itself all over the place. I've tried turning up the filament temp +30% or so - same with the plate temperature. I keep increasing it after its apparent it's not yet working. It's getting better, but I'm looking at what is supposed to be a cat and it's still a vaguely layered stack of spaghetti getting pulled to and fro. =(
Is spraying hairspray or something else on the plate quite necessary? I don't have any in my house and its at night. The only non-cleaner I have in a spray can is Remington gun oil Dx. Despite this setback I'm super excited to try 3D printing, I've never done it before and it looks like a lot of fun.

I'm going to buy that or maybe some other 3D printer. Thank you very much for your time!

I soooo got the itch to get a 3D printer but financially don't allow it at the moment, got other priorities 😥😥

Good evening Troy, loved this video tutorial as well as your others! I am also new to the 3D print world and have my first Ender 3 V2 unit! I have tried to unsuccessful prints of the infamous Bench tug. I used the hair spray method after cleaning my bed thoroughly with alcohol for adhesion. I get about halfway through the print and the boat detaches itself from the bed (break free) My bed temp is set at 50* and my extruder is at 200*. Any suggestions on how I may resolve this issue? I appreciate the insight

Will I be able to use hp laptop?

@troy McMillan new to 3d printing I’m trying to find a file for airplane tyres

que notas, poniendo el titulo en castellano para luego torrarla en inglés, que estafado me siento. q sepas q te llevas negativo y te borro de mi algoritmo, jamas vea yo video alguno tuya, por nasia viva q tienes payaso

Mate this is such a great post, from the basics straight through, 10/10 well done mate

Great video helped me a lot!

Thank You Troy, this was very informative, detailed and helpful video. There are a ton of printer settings and obviously you can't show them all but, is there a video or booklet where one could learn more about the Ender 3 Pro 3D printer settings; what they do in particular? I'm a home owner, well the wife is the owner I just take up space here, and I've got quite a long honey-do list. I'm working a set of hanging lights and I found one of the pieces I need to create it is not manufactured on its own so... I've printed 10 so far and each one has improved a bit but I can tell itsagonna take a long time to get it right; and at this rate I don't think I'll be around to see it.

Im going to purchase a creality 3 3d printer becauces im on a tight budget, so would i be able to start with that and would i be able to do the same ,and I've download files to use ,can i use the lw-pla for the hole plane such as the for the cub ?

The glass bed on mine seems to be warped and lower in the middle so it won't level over the whole surface. I found that the print head will hit those clips when put in the center. Also, the filament won't stick to the bed even if I put glue on it! Finally solved the problem by turning the glass bed over.

Is it possible to upgrade my V2 to reach 300deg tempt? I would like to use high tempt filament.
Please list the thing I need, if it is possible. Thanks!

Hi, is there a printer combining plastic and metal printing?

I bought my son a 3d printer and I keep getting and error when trying to calibrate it and set the home setting. Frustrated .........

Great video, I learned a lot. For the complete setup on an Ender 3 V2 Creality actually has a really good video. Last night I was able to get mine put together, leveled and printing pretty easily. Only thing they didnt make clear is to snug all four of the leveling handles before trying to level the bed

Hi very much interesting
May I ask you a doubt
Cura specification given by you for different websites can we apply the same for 3d lab print stl files Kindly clear mine, And what about slicing is it be needed for 3d lab planes if we are using ender3v2

Thank you, you answered most of my questions. Well actually all of them to start.

Plan on buying this printer soon and since it’s been a year, do you have any better suggestions?(the prints do look good)also any new websites that have developed in the past year?
