    @joshuathomas4934 2 місяці тому

    Oh yeah. That’s a spun bearing. Could have happened from the oil pump plate backing out. Or more than likely a vacuum leak causing pre ignition. These engines should be regularly smoke tested for leaks. Pre-ignition causes the tolerances on left and right sides of the bearing to get all out of whack and then the bearing deforms and then spins. Could have been a MAF issue as well. After about 80-100k miles they are pretty worn out on some cars. Who knows. It’s a wrx. Lots of things that can go wrong. The engines are not exactly the strongest motors.

    For anyone new to 3D printing who just wants something that works, the A1 Mini makes way more sense for the money and vs any Ender 3 machine in the lineup honestly. I'm not even a Bambu Lab fanboy. For someone wanting to get into more serious filament printing and especially for stuff like automotive prints, the Q1 Pro by Qidi Tech is incredibly capable for the money and would be my go to recommendation. Get an Ender 3 only if it's $100 or less and you want to learn how to mod it, even though they can of course print fine stock. The Ender 3 V3 SE and KE just aren't worth the money vs an A1 Mini. The Ender 3 V3 also isn't worth it vs the A1 regular or stepping up to a Q1 Pro.

    my old Ender 3v1 has a microswiss direct drive and a glass bed - first thing I got for it after I printed a few cubes. It's been cranking out prints no questions asked since 2019 and honestly it's one of my favorite machines. Sure I use my Bambu more, but that old thing just won't quit and it's fun watching it trundle along. Never really had much issue with it (I print PETG, so I don't need to lather my bed in glue or anything, gross!). For 150 bucks new, I think I've got my money's worth!

  • @XNLFutureTechnologies
    @XNLFutureTechnologies 4 місяці тому

    I do agree to SOME extend that when buying new there are better and MUCH faster options on the market. However the old 'classic Ender 3' is still a strong and reliable machine, when configured properly and tweaked a bit can deliver very high precision for low cost. I'm running several of them for high detail parts (not just 'trinkets'), and they are still going strong years after we got them. Do have to admit that two of them are HEAVILY modified (till the point you can't even call them an Ender 3 anymore 🤣(aside from their frame). Those have (own) custom designed boards, touchscreen interface (own custom software for my industrial use and not some octoprint stuff) and more of the alike. But also the several other more basic Ender 3's we're still using (aside from using a microswiss hot end and my own adapted marlin firmware) still do a GREAT job in delivering high quality prints. HOWEVER, they are definitely not as fast as an CR-10-SE for example (which can peak at around 600mm/s vs the default Ender 3's with around 60mm/s). But then again they do go for double the price though 🤷‍♀ If someone would ask me which type of printer for not too much money I would recommend? I would then for example say a CR-10-SE, not to expensive, HIGH speed printer (does large prints in about 12 hours where the default Ender 3 would take about 2 DAYS and 9 hours for the same print). But if they are on a very tight budget and really want to get into 3D printing? Then the Ender 3 (V1) still isn't a bad choice to be honest in my opinion. It's a very decent printer to get started, to learn how to properly level your machines, how the mechanics work and more of the a like. And especially second hand they are "practically free" these days😊 So I do agree (in most cases/situations) that you should not buy an Ender 3 V1 brand new anymore in 2024, but second hand or as very low budget starter it still one of the best ones to go for in my opinion. Definitely A LOT better than some of the other cheap 'fire hazard options' that are out there (although a lot less these days luckily) 😊

  • @feynthefallen
    @feynthefallen 5 місяців тому

    Ok, a few MAJOR points if I may: 1st, and most important: an entry-level machine like the Ender3 was never intended or built to print with things like Nylon or PC and is thoroughly unsuitable for the task. As a matter of fact, due to the hotend construction Creality uses, where the PTFE bowden tube reaches all the way down into the nozzle, that is actually quite dangerous, because it exposes you to dangerous fumes from the overheated PTFE. That can cause a condition known as "Teflon Flu" which can be deadly. 2nd, Ender 3 have been outfitted with a removable flexible PEI bed for AGES now. 3rd, the current Ender3 boards feature a 32-bit ARM SoC, which is PLENTY fast enough to run any cartesian in the world, heck, it would even be fast enough to run any DELTA out there. For comparison, I've run Deltas on Atmegas for years. There simply is nothing in the processing a cartesian printer has to do that would make a 32-bit arm even get out of breath. 4th, while Octoprint is an useful upgrade for a printer ecosystem, the Ender3 with its Marlin FW will happily print from an SD card any day. The only reservation about the current generation of boards I have is that they never included an USB host connection for regular usb sticks. 5th, The Ender3 is an entry level machine for hobbyists. If you aim to print professionally, get a professional-level printer and pay professional-level money. It's unprofessional of you to bash it because you are using it in ways it was never intended to be used. Conclusion: It's a tool. It does the job it was built to do. It's no more obsolete than c-spanners in a world that has ratcheting ring spanners. People should buy a better, more advanced one when I need it, not because it's available. So if YOU (like me) are one of the "poor souls" that have one, it's a good little machine, keep it and upgrade it piecemeal, but buy the good, well-fitting upgrades provided directly by Creality. Buy a better one when and only when you want to do things it can't do.

      I would never recommend a cheap printer for someone starting printing. Start with a Bambu. You don’t have to suffer from bad hard- and software anymore in the consumer market. Only do it when you have someone how know how to print and can help you.

      @@Todestelzer @Todestelzer Also depends on where you're coming from I guess (as in field of interest and what your target is). My myself coming from the DIY electronics and 3D printing area, I would in turn not quickly recommend a Bambu for my group of friends, colleagues and/or audience due to the fact there is basically nothing you can do/modify with those printers yourself. They are not open-source and are taking more of the 'Apple Approach' amongst 3D printers. And neither would you really learn about the technique about 3D printers that way. But do note that this is because we/our 'group of people' like to be able to be in full control, customize our own firmware, adapt boards for speciffic needs for example and more of the alike (it's NOT a 'hate comment' against Bambu in general so don't get me wrong here please😉) However it it's just some one that ONLY wants to 3D print and doesn't care about the technique (internally), modifying it in the future etc, A Bambu might indeed be more suitable for them though😊. Less hassle and just made as 'ready to use consumer product' which require little to no prior knowledge to 3D printing 😊 I Personally would then still recommend a Creality CR-10-SE for example, but that's just a personal preference though😊. Nothing wrong with those printers in terms of hardware and software, VERY easy to "assemble" (basically can't even call it assemble haha), rather 'large' build volume and SUPER FAST printing with good results out of the box 😊 But to be honest the Bambu Lab A1 is also a very capable printer and even multi color support for those who don't care about the open-source and modifiability of their printer 😊

    I bought the CR-10S 4 years ago... Has been nothing but a boat anchor. Now I did buy the new Bambu X1 Carbon a week ago, and man I tell ya, what a major difference. No complaints at all...

    I got an original ender 3 as a gift and since then added: -Glass Buildplate -Dual Z Axis -Direct Drive -BTT Motherboard -Autobed Leveling Love my printer. I’d get an ender 5 and convert to corexy if I wasn’t already making a markforged clone

      They aren't bad printers, they are just objectively bad value for the money spent.

    Great video. Nobody seems to be offering a similar metal replacement for the rear windows for the 2002-2005's - only plastic ones. you may have found a niche market. I know I need one, LOL
