As an engineer, I really appreciate the Agenda section of the video and your methodology. Also, totally agree with your view of 3D printers as tools; it's nice when the tools that support your making "just work."
Just got this printer yesterday and never messed with 3d printing before. I had the bunny printing within 25 mins and it printed flawlessly. I was expecting it to be a melted glob of plastic. I instantly fell in love with 3d printing and this printer!
I just got this printer and am very happy with it. It's the first 3d printer I've used. I say used and not bought because I first ordered a printer from another brand and that one didnt even work, and was a pain to assemble and disassemble (several screws became stripped immediately). Still working out which settings are best for my specific printer, but it's working like a dream out of the box.
Interesting presentation and very non-condescending to beginner printers. As a Porsche factory race mechanic, I see unlimited application for this technology. We can use "printed" part designs in test environments before spending tens of thousands of USD on metal alloy forged parts (in gas volume testes and many others - etc.) so this was a most informative vid. Thanks to all involved.
The adhesion issue with the matte PLA might have been too much cooling as well, basically the filament gets cooled down before it has the chance to fuse with the previous layer completely. I assume you printed it again with the same exact settings so the type of PLA clearly matters but I think it should be possible to print the same thing with the cooling lowered down using the nice matte black PLA as well.
I had NO idea you had to level each corner! Thank you for this tip! I’m about to buy this one. Had a disaster with the Anycubic Kobra Neo so I’m excited for something a little new!
Just purchased one. Upgrades are all nice, but I think one of the biggest selling points for me is that it comes nearly assembled. I could certainly assemble one, but my time is worth spending a little extra $$$
Im thinkning about buying one to make action figures and medium statues. I was going with the Creality Ender 3 as my first 3d printer but someone say the Neo made some impressive updates. So i came here to see if it was better because they are going for $250 on amazon now. Thanks for video.
The hot end is all metal with larger fins on heat sink. The hot end is definitely an upgrade. The silent board that can accommodate bl touch is also an upgrade over Ender 3 v1 and v1 pro.
Glad I come across this page, Ive wanted to get into 3d printing for a while but have always been put off by the tech, this as eased my mind some,,100% going give it a whirl
After at least of 1000 hours on my ender 3 v2 neo I can tell you this printer is worth every penny, but if you are new to the whole game make sure you read enough to understand issues that may occur and how to solve them as well as how to diagnose them! I am on facebook groups for different brands and models of 3d printers even top notch branded groups post tons of issues i see and i know how to solve them but yet my cheaper ender 3 v2 does the job because i went trough building my own printers back in the day when they were expensive..... what i am trying to say is that i see people buying creality printers for 500 bucks and having daily issues and they blame the printer but its not the printer its mostly their lack of knowledge..... although price is nearly something you would spend over night in pub..... comment if you need any help i would always help
I just now realized that due to the changed to the extrusions, many many Ender 3 v2 mods no longer work, for example the Kevinakasam belted z mod… I have ordered the parts already, but can’t use them without major design changes or swapping out the top 3 extrusions… I should’ve just gone for the v2 or s1 instead
great video, but i have a question...after many research i still can't decide between the neo v2 or the s1 model... both seems good. what should i pick?
Mine got a blob that ruined the thermistor wire so I replaced the hot end put while taking it out I saw a compositor is glued to the wire I needed to remove. The compositor fell off and now it’s sitting in a corner abandoned
Hello, anyone know how to save the gcode in the micro sd to see on the screen the figure in the ender 3 v2 neo? It brings two gcode files on the sd that comes and they are seen but the ones I save are not seen
Great Video.... I just received the printer as a present. Once quick question about bed leveling. I am confused on which method to use. I seen a method that you have to first compress the spring all the way down. Does that matter. >? Also, I noticed that my bed is a little loose. Am i supposed to tighten those bolts. thank you
I have a problem. I can print the models that came in the sd card perfectly fine, but when i slice a model in cura it is slightly off centered when printing. any ideas on how to fix it?
Do you know what the probe xy offsets are? I installed mriscoc's professional firmware but forgot to write down the stock probe offsets. The current probe offsets work fine but I want to make sure they're the same as stock.
Strange issue with mine. I am not getting a layer around the part, I am getting this massive base layer. Any idea how to turn that massive base layer off?
It's hideously slow stock, wow. Yeah it's consistent and it makes sure almost nothing fails, but if a first time user sees this kinda speed out of the box, it's not exactly a "wow" moment. It would have been nice if they optimised the settings a bit for the demo models
Mostly it is about proper adhesion but worst case it can lead to a complete failed print. The larger the print or the more bed surface area the model takes up the more likely you will run into problems. Example, If you are printing .15mm layer heights and one side of the printer is .15mm or more higher than another side your layers will not adhere properly, and you end up with spaghetti.
@@ElevatedSystems Can't you just remove the bottom portion of the part you create? Won't the rest of it be ok? I'm thinking you could just build that into your model, the idea that the bottom portion will be sacrificial and removed after you create the part.
I find it hilarious that these incredibly precise machines have to constantly level the bed, the manufacturer can create the entire mind-boggling machine...but cant keep the bed flat.
The bed and print head by function continually heat and cool which causes expansion and contraction in the metal components. Leveling ensures the micro-millimeter tolerances required are maintained. Manufactures can't change the laws of physics.
Great video! I am a creator over on TikTok with 256,000+ and was wondering if you could share the contact for Creality? If not I totally understand, I would love the opportunity to work with them!

It was exactly $100 more expensive than the V2. The upgrades cost more. Definitely worth it.

Just bought this! Glad I’m seeing positive reviews
Can you say some positive/negative aspects about the printer 2 months in?
What are your thoughts now ?
That pencil analogy is actually really accurate
Thank you for the thorough walkthrough, this really helps me figure out what to save for.
Glad I could help!

Hello. My neo keeps clogging. It’s new.
@@gunnsmoke357 try other filament, what temps and what material?!? Ur teflon tube goes right to the nozzle make sure it is aligned tight
I'll drink at home and skip a night out at the pub for the v2 neo
@@CuttinInIdaho thats the job !
Does this printer need heatbreak change
Thanks for your video.. I just leveled and am printing and it looooks grrreat.. Love my Printer
If you have a Micro Center near you, you can get a V2 for $100. I paid $175 for my V2 with the CR Touch and a spool of filament this past weekend.

I recently purchased a v2 neo and use creality slicer but I don't get the image on the printer screen, just the creality guy
So where do you think the Ender 3 Neo comes into play vs the V2 Neo?
u clicked on preheat PLA but what if u want to use TPU
My boy just casually makes a SSD holder. RIP SmallRig 😆
Use any CAD for a month or so and you can do the same. Fusion 360 is a free CAD that doesn’t require a powerful pc
@@Aikano9 Wait, it's free now? Back when I was using it, there was some educational plan for students but it only lasted 3 years I think

im a beginner. should i buy this one. also i wanna know if i can print those cool snakes with these

I keep getting messed at the leveling process. Any tips?

How does flexy filament do on the ender 3 v2 neo, and what settings would you suggest for it?

hi quik question how do i load the prints on the sd cart just a usb to micro sd converter or a usb to sd concerter
do you need to do the manual leveling or can you just do the auto leveling
Can the Ender 3 neo be upgraded to v2 Neo?
I have a problem. I can print the models that came in the sd card perfectly fine, but when i slice a model in cura it is slightly off centered when printing. any ideas on how to fix it?
Is your bed size correctly configured in Cura? As I see the default is 250x250 instead of the correct 220x220
Where is the setup video on this? I just order yesterday, don't know nothing about 3D printing, I would like to see the vid
There's a link in the description.
Do you know what the probe xy offsets are? I installed mriscoc's professional firmware but forgot to write down the stock probe offsets. The current probe offsets work fine but I want to make sure they're the same as stock.
you can show you cura profrile? :)
How does it compare against Anycubic Kobra?
The power supply on this thing is so loud it was driving me crazy so I dropped another $30 and got a quieter one.
Aaaaaaaa why dident you say about heating befor about autolevling. Now i have to do it again when it finish hehe
Does it work with uk 240 volt mains
Yes there’s a selector switch on the power supply for 110v or 220v.
Me without a 3d printer: this is fine…
i have a question? my printer came with a white filament but its not on a spool, can i still use it to print? if not what is this for?
It's some test filament you can use to print the test model when setting up the printer.
Strange issue with mine. I am not getting a layer around the part, I am getting this massive base layer. Any idea how to turn that massive base layer off?
Sounds like you have your build plate adhesion set to Raft. Change it to skirt or brim.
@@ElevatedSystems Oh, nice! thanks for this. Now I need to find that setting :) Is this in software or the actual printer? Thanks
@@yesla4tesla it's in the slicing software.
@@ElevatedSystems thank you!
It's hideously slow stock, wow. Yeah it's consistent and it makes sure almost nothing fails, but if a first time user sees this kinda speed out of the box, it's not exactly a "wow" moment. It would have been nice if they optimised the settings a bit for the demo models
A first time user has no expectations of speed and would probably just be ecstatic to be printing at all 😊
What printer you selecting in cura ? I don’t see the ender 3 v2 neo in there.
The printer profile is on the included SD card. You can add it to Cura. The directions are in the digital user manual.
@@ElevatedSystems oh sweet thank you !
@@ElevatedSystems anyway to make a video on it :)
@@jakesrcaddiction7519 I'm pretty sure it's in Ender's setup video.
@@ElevatedSystems got it thank you !
Basic question. Why is bed leveling important? Doesn't an unlevel bed simply create a unlevel bottom to the model?
Mostly it is about proper adhesion but worst case it can lead to a complete failed print. The larger the print or the more bed surface area the model takes up the more likely you will run into problems. Example, If you are printing .15mm layer heights and one side of the printer is .15mm or more higher than another side your layers will not adhere properly, and you end up with spaghetti.

@@nicholastinling1022 No if the bottom layer is bad, every layer above it is bad.
@@ElevatedSystems Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Creality does not stand behind their products. It's a garbage printer from a garbage company. Buyer beware.
