Thanks for the shout-out! I have since added parts for the thick old PSU and I am using it on my printer! I had the same problem with the t-nuts on one side but when the nut is rotated it fits on my printer
It wasn't just the printer upgrade that was amazing, the production quality of this video was on another level! The video was also genuinely entertaining! Loved the "great memories" montage :D
This is amazing! And your cinematography is spot on! I love how you did the off axis slow spin angled camera shots during the reveal of the completed printer. Really cool
The satisfaction of addressing all the challenges and overcoming all the challenges in such an ambitious DIY project will always hold more personal value than just buying something off the shelf. Also the production value and edit for this video came out great too. Not to mention making an Ender look that attractive is a feat all on its own. I'd say this project was 100% worth it.
@@epp9122 I agree but I need 100% for my application sadly. My anycubic mega s had no problem printing with the same settings and filament as the ender yet it bends badly sometimes. Even in an enclosure, using a brim and changing the temperature it still bends. I think that might be because of the stock fan and it's too strong part cooling idk
Your panning time lapse shots while you were building the printer are awesome! I know they must have taken hours, so I wanted to make sure you know how great they turned out
Awesome video! Your cinematographic skills rock! The story is fluid and well delivered, scene chronology is excellent! And what to say about the final result! A performant, reliable and sexy machine. But most importantly, it is YOUR design! Congrats! I loved every single minute of your video. Keep it up!
I reinforced the 4040 extrusion which is as you know hollow inside. I used 8mm metal tuning with 5mm hole. Cut it and beveled the ends so that the m5X45 bolts goes through the tube and then does not allow the 4040 to collapse when tightened! This is by far the best thing I have done to my frames. As you know the bed runs on a single 4040 attached to a single 4040 I frame. This is very very poor especially if it is over tightened at anytime. Adding the tube prevents such event and absolutely give amazing rigidity. I hardly ever have to adjust my bed now and it stayed within .001 on all corners now. Obviously depends on the integrity of the x gantry, which I have dual 1204 ball screws on! Zero lash ZERO. The 800 steps seems to hit the magic numbers much more precisely, IMO. Great content you have , thanks for all you do.
Converting it to klipper and later adding microswiss DD with SB front and doing the belted z conversion, and then it being such a great machine was such a rewarding experience. I learned a shit ton about 3d printers and gcode. I think i know how you feel
Cardboard + clear film/plastic from some other packaging to add a viewing window that doesn't leak the warm air, careful not to cook your control board/motors though
21 seconds into the video and you answered my 2 main questions. Can't convey how nice that is. I then felt compelled to learn how any why you came to that conclusion. I recently purchased one of these from a buddy that already had a Micro Swiss NG head and linear rails. Aside from adding a RPi 3/4 to run something web based it seems like most of the other things you did ultimately have minimal return on investment. Perhaps I'll get the magnetic plate, PLA+ just glues to the glass plate.
You clearly have engineering skills which got the build over the line. I could never attempt such a project! Thanks for the video which shows what is involved - a very accomplished result which looks amazing. 👍
This has been an inspiring video, I’m also in the process of upgrading everything on my ender 3 and sometimes regret my life choices and end up frustrated when things don’t go as planned. But you’re right by saying that when it will be accomplished it will be amazing.
Thanks Andreas! Well, it always depends on the perspective. Some guys are publishing one video each week 😅 But i guess build videos, simply take longer. However, i also wish you nice holidays ❤️
Man this is the most honest video I've seen to date! Title's a bit click bait I'll honest but the video itself absolutely unexpected and fresh :) Keep it up. You've got my subscription :)
Everything about this video is spot on! I would point out that for the price, you could have gotten pretty close to a Trident kit. As nice as the Switchwire is, getting to a core XY printer is a big jump in performance, IMHO. Getting away from a bed-slinger printer may mean that you can't reuse the Ender 3 parts, but overall, it will give a big jump up in performance. Obviously, this isn't a comment Christoph, but for someone reading the comments considering upgrading their Ender 3.
Brilliant stuff, fantastic video production. I'm currently investigating doing some meaningful upgrades to my trusty old Ender 3 Pro and debating whether I should tackle a similar project (for the fun / educational side of it) or simply spend a bit more on a modern, fast 3D printer. Either way, it's incredibly inspiring seeing what the community has come up with. Long live tinkering!
I'm certainly not upgrading any Ender 3 machines, but man that was an entertaining video! Subbed. Keep up the good work & continue eating oreos at the speed of light
No shit that took longer than expected 😂 Those are some serious upgrades! And that thing looks sick too! Almost makes me want a 3D printer... Almost😉 Merry Christmas, man!
I recommend getting one lol. I just got a babulab X1 carbon and it's awesome. I have an ender 3 and 3 of it's clones and none of them compare. They got me in the door but the X1 builds the whole house haha. Love your videos too
@@mrpanda876 man having manly tools inherited by his family, building manly stuff He needs no plastic nerd tool lmao, jk yeah his video is awesome I think 3d printed could be useful for him, like....soft jaw?
Great vid. As someone relatively new to 3d printing, and having just acquired an ender 3 as my gateway drug into this addiction, i can relate to the psychological factors involved in my desire to upgrade this thing! Not sure i'll go as far as this video, but i feel fully justified in my desire to do the mods i have in mind. Tinkering might be unnecessary with the newer machines on the block, but a part of me kind enjoys the process of maximising what i have!
I just post this here to be invited to the 1 million subscriber special: this bro is definitely going places. Not even interested in 3D printing before…now thinking about getting one.
Looks great, always fun to re-engineer something into a beast. Those first much faster prints feel rewarding. Pretty sure I beat you on expense for an Ender 3 though, only thing stock now is the frame :/ 5 linear rails, IDEX direct drive, dual Z side lift belts, Octopus, AC heated cast aluminum bed etc. Has 10 micron Z resolution with microstepping disabled using a 20:1 reduction on Z. I designed it during lockdown and built it last year, every part printed was my own design including the compact DD's. It felt really good to get it up and runninng and tuned, Klipper is amazing. One last thing I may do is ditching the old style V6 hotends and putting on a pair of Dragon UHF, sick of fighting nozzle changes. That's what is fun about open source products, grab the CAD file and go nuts. Make something your own.
Sounds like a super interesting build👌 did you share the project anywhere such as GitHub and do you have pics or videos of it up? I’d love to convert my spare Ender to IDEX so I can do some experimenting with HIPS supports on complex ABS prints.
This gives me an insane amount of motivation. I received my first ender 3 pro v2, and I know I have a long ways in the journey. There is still a lot I don't know but I'm trying. Thanks to the algorithm for showing me this channel, subbed!
Now that is an extreme upgrade. Excellent. I am also currently rebuilding my Ender 3 but I just want it to churn out reliable prints so I can move on to start my Corexy build.
@@ChristophLehner I've been printing ABS for a while on my modded Ender 3 with pretty good results, but I'm really glad I spent the money on the PIF parts for my V2.4 build. Everything was printed absolutely perfect, no brims, no warping, perfect dimensions etc. Well worth the €80 extra or so vs. printing your own, and spending dozens of hours slicing, sorting, re-printing etc, if you don't have a perfectly dialed in large format printer like the PIF guys do.
This was the coolest video I’ve seen for 3D printing! It was fun to watch the journey and how you documented it. Subscribed. Awesome video man and I think this is something I’d like to attempt on my Ender 3 Pro I just picked up. 😊 Thank you for doing this!
Currently doing this conversion myself, while expensive and time consuming the satisfaction of building this machine is the best feeling. My E3P was also my first printer and I couldn’t justify just selling it so may as well up-cycle it and make it better than ever.
That was spot on, I want my ender to be perfect, not because I need to 3d print anything, but the engineer in me requires perfection. 6 months later, "hey honey, check out how great this benchy turned out"!!! Her, "what can it do for me?". Me "shrugs, nothing, its quite useless, I guess"
Thank you for making this, now i know why i'll never do this. You saved me a lot of money, thanks again! Awesome video, thank you for your sacrifice to the 3dprinter gods.
Haha, kenn ich auch. Wenn man erstmal anfängt, findet man kein Ende. :) CR10v1->Rails Nachrüstung->Klipper->Direct Drive Extruder mit EVA Druckkopfbasis usw. Was Du vergisst: Der Voron kostet bei 3D Jake 900,- EXKLUSIV Kunststoffteile und Raspi etc. Wenn Du wirklich einen rundum glücklich Voron Komplettbausatz haben möchtest bist Du locker bei 1500,- €
Love the conversion and chuckled at some of the "you have a problem" / therapy sections you edited in. I'm in a similar boat with an aging Ender 3 and have been looking for a way to mount a Rapido and a direct drive extruder to my Ender 3. I see you accomplished this task prior to doing your conversion in "the plan of attack section". Curious what prints you used to mount the Rapido and Orbiter v2 to print your ABS before the full conversion around 4:37?
@ChristophLehner Surprisingly didn't locate that toolhead in my searching. Was looking at the Trianglelab DDE-R, metal Klemco groove mount + printable STLs, a few toolheads from squirrelf ( Apollolander, Solar orbiter, Mars orbiter, Saturn Orbiter, etc ), and hero me gen7. Much appreciated, I'll look into that toolhead.
Good for you mate! All the nay sayers, in my opinion, are not appreciating the satisfaction you have gained from building this absolute MONSTER of a printer! 👊 I have a 4 year old 1st Gen Ender 3 with a few printed upgrades and a SKR mini main board upgrade and it still serves me perfectly for my printing needs. Like you, I'll be using this for years to come but will replace and upgrade parts as they deteriorate! Youv'e earned a subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your uploads. 😁
Truly inspiring indeed. I'm in the process of upgrading my own Ender 3, already adding the CR touch, direct drive and double Z axis. My family suggests that I just buy a newer and better printer but I just want to turn my old Ender into a reliable monster. I'm planning on changing to rail systems on all axis, changing the motherboard and upgrading the hot end and adding dual fans, also trying the new Creality Nebula. Also I must agree, as someone who likes to upgrade budget stuff overtime, building your own project is undescribably better than buying "good stuff" from the start.
Great vid ! i built one of these a while back just cause i had so many enders laying around... totally not worth the cost for what you get. But like you had a blast sourcing and building it. The discord community was worth it alone imo. Mine sits on a shelf collecting dust now while i have a blast printing prints even twice as fast on my X1C carbon😁
I view modding my ender 3 as a more affordable way to force myself to become knowledgeable about how 3d printers work both electrically and mechanically. My first 3d printer was a folgertecjh prusa i3 which I could never get to work after the first print. The Ender 3 was my first real working printer. It has way more successes than failures. And Through Modding it and taking it apart and putting it back together I've learned a lot
I did this a bit over a year ago (modified the CAD files myself), but skipped a few more parts than you did. I also wouldn't count the price of the Ender 3 in the total. The only reason to do this with an Ender 3 rather than from a parts kit is because you already have one. I will completely agree that you shouldn't pull apart your only printer to do this. You need a backup printer that is untouched during this process. I had also done X and Y linear rails already (cost was similar to replacing the V-rollers). Mine is janky when it comes to "case" which it doesn't have, but it prints well.
Thank you for this video, I started making my conversion in 2021 when I was 16 to my cr 10s into a Voron switch wire and the problem is that no one really made a nice project like this one’s for the ender 3 for the cr 10 (I dont know now I am talking about 2 years ago haha) so I decided to start modelling the parts to make it how I wanted it obv inspiring by other ender 3 project and after some months I did and I loved the results but then I was too lazy to print the last parts and make a GitHub page with all info and file but now you gave me back the enthusiasm to finish this infinte projects ahah
Such a great and inspiring video. Makes me really want to do it to my Ender 3v2! With the help of this video I know I can recreate what you did here, thank you!
I'm wrapping up my v2 build with the stealthburner. I agree the stealthburner is kinda big. I'll probably revert it later on. Still it's a fun build. Definitely learned a lot by building an Ender wire.
Awesome video! I'm in the same seat as you were. I have a old ender 3 which i just cant throw away, so im planning on upgrading it with New Glass Bed, BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V3.0, BLTouch, fresh bowden tube and maybe a new hotend. But after seeing this i think i need another Z-axis rod aswell. hmm.
10:43 The thing is, though: a Bambu Lab P1P is way more than those 650 € from that screenshot nowadays. The price shown on it's website is 770 € for Germany. With customs and (import) taxes your going straight to 1000 bugs if you would import that thing. And thats without that highly praised AMS module which would add like 300 bucks as well. So for less (building) fun a good deal more. =) Although I have to say a newer Ender 5 S1 with a BigTreeTech Pad 7 and another Ender 3 for spare parts would also have been a valid option for me! Especially since there are some folks selling their barely used Ender machines on Kleinanzeigen which can also be a solid option.
One nice extra thing with the btt board add a btt tft70 screen, a nice 7 inch touchscreen with stock marlin screen option and a switch to an other UI that you can choose
First time on the channel watching this video took me back to the old ages before Ender was a thing and how much I spend rebuilding my Anet A8 to AM8 then few years later rebuilding it again adding linear rails going for silent steppers with new board, power supply, volcano instead of regular e3d hot end. I had to replace some wiring few months back really makes me wonder if anything is left from that good old anet
That is an awesome video! I am also debating between building enderwire or just buying something like p1p and selling my ender3 to friends. I will build a voron 0.1 this month and will decide after that :)
Thanks for the video, I've had a thermal runaway issue yesterday on my ender 3 pro stock but dual Z axis, still don't know what caused it but I just printed some stuff for an hour successfully with no issues today.
Nice job for getting a voron done. I felt the same way that you did about my ender 3 but opted to make a 0.1 and keep my klipperized ender 3 instead. I then did a sub 4 min benchy and built a 2.4. The switchwire was a good choice too tho.
I start in English just because everybody can understand it. It is a fever: I got an Ender 3V2, printed a couple of things and startet modifying. Second z-axis motor, self printed cooling fan assembly, full metal heatbreak, direct drive extruder. I can’t recommend it because I regularly had weeks nothing was working. Frustration was bad. The good thing is I know my printer pretty well now. Wouldn’t do it again though. Danke für ein sehr unterhaltsames Video.
Definitely subscribed. Very entertaining video. I seen a lathe and a mill. I’m curious on make and model. Only because I’m a machinist by trade. Still have my first Ender 3 pro. It doesn’t even resemble one anymore. This must be what chasing the dragon is like for a heroine junkie 😂

Like you, I'll be using this for years to come but will replace and upgrade parts as they deteriorate!
Youv'e earned a subscriber and I look forward to watching more of your uploads.
😁
Truly inspiring indeed. I'm in the process of upgrading my own Ender 3, already adding the CR touch, direct drive and double Z axis. My family suggests that I just buy a newer and better printer but I just want to turn my old Ender into a reliable monster. I'm planning on changing to rail systems on all axis, changing the motherboard and upgrading the hot end and adding dual fans, also trying the new Creality Nebula.
Also I must agree, as someone who likes to upgrade budget stuff overtime, building your own project is undescribably better than buying "good stuff" from the start.
Check out the ender ng project. Its quite fun
Your skill has no end this was a pleasure to watch
This was a random recommendation and I loved it, very nicely done!

What about the layer lines, you see some shifts.
Is it because of the speed ?
For 800€ I would expect almost perfect prints
Great vid ! i built one of these a while back just cause i had so many enders laying around... totally not worth the cost for what you get. But like you had a blast sourcing and building it. The discord community was worth it alone imo. Mine sits on a shelf collecting dust now while i have a blast printing prints even twice as fast on my X1C carbon😁
This is the first time I have seen you and may never watch another video, but I am subscribing because your funny.
I view modding my ender 3 as a more affordable way to force myself to become knowledgeable about how 3d printers work both electrically and mechanically. My first 3d printer was a folgertecjh prusa i3 which I could never get to work after the first print. The Ender 3 was my first real working printer. It has way more successes than failures. And Through Modding it and taking it apart and putting it back together I've learned a lot
WHAT IS THE DINO DOING ??? Awesome video !
I did this a bit over a year ago (modified the CAD files myself), but skipped a few more parts than you did. I also wouldn't count the price of the Ender 3 in the total. The only reason to do this with an Ender 3 rather than from a parts kit is because you already have one.
I will completely agree that you shouldn't pull apart your only printer to do this. You need a backup printer that is untouched during this process.
I had also done X and Y linear rails already (cost was similar to replacing the V-rollers).
Mine is janky when it comes to "case" which it doesn't have, but it prints well.
Very good looking build man! Nice work, first video if seen from you and you definitely gained a follower!
Thanks for the sub!
The only part I could identify for the toolhead are the fan duct, the bltouch holder and the cable relief, which are the others?
WOW that is fantastic! Great job , very impressed
This was a whole ass movie. Vid deserves even more views.
Thanks man!
Much appreciated
Thank you for this video, I started making my conversion in 2021 when I was 16 to my cr 10s into a Voron switch wire and the problem is that no one really made a nice project like this one’s for the ender 3 for the cr 10 (I dont know now I am talking about 2 years ago haha) so I decided to start modelling the parts to make it how I wanted it obv inspiring by other ender 3 project and after some months I did and I loved the results but then I was too lazy to print the last parts and make a GitHub page with all info and file but now you gave me back the enthusiasm to finish this infinte projects ahah
Such a great and inspiring video. Makes me really want to do it to my Ender 3v2! With the help of this video I know I can recreate what you did here, thank you!
This comment section is now owned by the BRD. Geiles Video ^^ nice zu sehen, was du so an Maschinen hast bzw Zugriff 🤤
Awesome video. I ended up going the other rout you did and clapping mine out with a sprite pro and dual z axis.
I'm wrapping up my v2 build with the stealthburner. I agree the stealthburner is kinda big. I'll probably revert it later on. Still it's a fun build. Definitely learned a lot by building an Ender wire.
thoroughly enjoyed the video and the humor. thanks!
Awesome video! I'm in the same seat as you were. I have a old ender 3 which i just cant throw away, so im planning on upgrading it with New Glass Bed, BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V3.0, BLTouch, fresh bowden tube and maybe a new hotend. But after seeing this i think i need another Z-axis rod aswell. hmm.
10:43 The thing is, though: a Bambu Lab P1P is way more than those 650 € from that screenshot nowadays.
The price shown on it's website is 770 € for Germany. With customs and (import) taxes your going straight to 1000 bugs if you would import that thing. And thats without that highly praised AMS module which would add like 300 bucks as well. So for less (building) fun a good deal more. =)
Although I have to say a newer Ender 5 S1 with a BigTreeTech Pad 7 and another Ender 3 for spare parts would also have been a valid option for me!
Especially since there are some folks selling their barely used Ender machines on Kleinanzeigen which can also be a solid option.
One nice extra thing with the btt board add a btt tft70 screen, a nice 7 inch touchscreen with stock marlin screen option and a switch to an other UI that you can choose
This is the most entertaining 3D printer videos i have watched excellent.
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for uploading it.
First time on the channel watching this video took me back to the old ages before Ender was a thing and how much I spend rebuilding my Anet A8 to AM8 then few years later rebuilding it again adding linear rails going for silent steppers with new board, power supply, volcano instead of regular e3d hot end. I had to replace some wiring few months back really makes me wonder if anything is left from that good old anet
I effin love your story telling =)
the whole video was a damn rollercoaster
Loved it
That is an awesome video! I am also debating between building enderwire or just buying something like p1p and selling my ender3 to friends. I will build a voron 0.1 this month and will decide after that :)
This is awesome. The video was done well and I laughed several times. I'm gonna check out your other stuff. :)
Just found your channel, awesome job on the ender.3 and the video editing, ya got mu sub
Thanks for the video, I've had a thermal runaway issue yesterday on my ender 3 pro stock but dual Z axis, still don't know what caused it but I just printed some stuff for an hour successfully with no issues today.
Sexy build, that toolhead shroud tho... Might steal it for my stock ender!
To Christopher, the ship of Theseus isn't a paradox. It's a challenge.
I’m doing something similar with my Ender 5 pro and the trident blueprint. Well worth it when you find it fun
0:15 Nice apples and oranges comparison in the beginning. Cool lookin' build, though.
just discovered your channel. hope youre doing well. was hoping there was a part 2 to this video.
Nice job for getting a voron done. I felt the same way that you did about my ender 3 but opted to make a 0.1 and keep my klipperized ender 3 instead. I then did a sub 4 min benchy and built a 2.4. The switchwire was a good choice too tho.
A sub 4min benchy? Kudos to you 👌
Which on do you like most?
Great video. But what is that melting clock from 8:10? Reminds me of the Cartier watch.
Hi, nice build!! Are you able to share the BOM of the extra material you bought to build? All stuff on the left @5:28
would be awsome!!
I start in English just because everybody can understand it.
It is a fever: I got an Ender 3V2, printed a couple of things and startet modifying. Second z-axis motor, self printed cooling fan assembly, full metal heatbreak, direct drive extruder.
I can’t recommend it because I regularly had weeks nothing was working. Frustration was bad. The good thing is I know my printer pretty well now. Wouldn’t do it again though.
Danke für ein sehr unterhaltsames Video.
Definitely subscribed. Very entertaining video. I seen a lathe and a mill. I’m curious on make and model. Only because I’m a machinist by trade.
Still have my first Ender 3 pro. It doesn’t even resemble one anymore. This must be what chasing the dragon is like for a heroine junkie 😂
I love how the Trex did yoga throughout the video.
much love!
