thank you so much for your video i would never have got this machine done without you i am not very good with manuals but at 85 my mind is not as clear as it was, so well done to you
I rarely leave comments, but this video is exactly what you need to build an Ender 3 Neo. I had to repeat a couple of steps, but I doubt I would have completed as quickly without this. Thanks Filament Friday
when running the self alignment function I got this error message "homing failed printer halted". I realized the nozzle kit was not pushing the limit switch. I manually pushed the switch but then head assembly has a small manufacturing defect, so the plastic cover was a bit depressed at the point where it was supposed to hit the switched. I added a small sliver of wood under the plastic cover and that did the trick
Thank you so much. I literally never 3d printed anything or built a 3d printer, but your tutorial helped me build my very first 3d printer, and I'm so thankful 💖 cheers man!
Good video! Great for new people getting there first printer. I remember when I got my first a Ender 3 pro your videos and profiles were super helpful!
This was so incredibly helpful!!! I got the Ender 3 Neo based on your reviews and am so glad you had this assembly video. It’s my first 3D printer and despite the pretty decent instructions that came with it, I felt like I had someone physically there helping me through it. So thank you so much! 🙏🏼👏🏼 Doing my very first test print now and am so excited!!
Thanks for the detailed assembly. I also installed the dual z axis kit at the same time as I was putting the machine together. :) It's ready for filament. Everything turned out square, and the bed is leveled and ready to go.
Thank you for this. I just picked up a NEO and the manual I got was terrible. I don't know if I could have gotten the thing together without this video.
Chuck I literally wake up Fridays looking forward to seeing what you have for me today. Irony, my NEO showed up last Thursday mostly due to; your recommendation and the fact I snatched it off Amazon, $70 off for $169. YES, I love this printer. I have an Ender 3 pro already, but this machine smokes it. I DID have an issue with the Z offset and had to do some serious playing to get it dialed in. I am also getting some stringing I am working my way through, but the printer rocks. Thanks for your advise and skills and tireless devotion to 3d printing. You have been my main source of info since starting this hobby 3+ years ago.
holy crap! Your leveling bit is AMAZING! I have been using auto leveling! It is alright- But my first layers are always very MESSY! After this print is done, I will be fixing the leveling and doing it manually! Thank you so much sir!!!
They must have updated the manual because mine looks different than yours and includes errors such as mislabeled numbers and one incorrect graphic. Thanks for this clearer video.
Thank God I found your video. I never would have been able to get this together by the manual. I think the manual is pretty poor. Without any experience, putting this together would have been just insanity. However, watching your video and pausing quite a bit, I finally got it together. I was just about to plug it in and do those final steps you mention but I don't know what I'm supposed to do before that? For example, how do I remove the build plate? Since this is my first printer, do I take that plastic off of it? I'm assuming it's only a protective sheet? I heard you mention something about finger oils on the plate...does that mean I should be wearing nitrile gloves when handling anything? Stuff like that isn't in the manual
Thank you so much I learn through videos unlike books due to the print is way to light type set letters and difficult to see with needing my cataracts removed soon as I am able, it has so far taken me much more time due to my iPad is in another spot so had to go from my table to my recliner back and fourth. I am getting a lot of back pain for I have degenerative disc disease and takes me much longer to build assemble this type of product and now watching the rest of your video and see what else have to do like all those plug parts and checking to make sure everything is assembled correctly. So I purse and replay a lot for to get it right, so thank you so so much on the time you took to give us a good step by step tutorial awesome this is…So happy to find this video I liked and subscribed to your channel. 😊 BTW do you have step by step on hooking up my laptop or PC to this 3D 3 Neo printer? Or can you give me a ink for a video or can you make a video on this? Ty have a good day! 😊
Hey Chuck, I've got myself an ender 3 Neo off of your recommendation. Your videos have been super useful, even to an experienced printer user like me. Any chacne you can make a video on Jyers' for the printer if it exists? I dont really get how it works and why people like it
Super handy video (thank you) - I didn't need to consult my manual once. Quick tip for everyone - ensure the black cables to the motors and extruders are free and loose before you start. Mine were wrapped under the bed - on shipping. This is a pain to fix if you finish the build.
Thanks for the video! Here's a tip for getting into tight places: get yourself some hemostats. Needle nose pliers are great but sometimes too big for some jobs.
just bought this and my only critque of your video is that you didn't show how to load the filament. i'm a newbie and i hate it when directions assume you know how to do something when you are just starting.
Thanks for the video. Assembly was a breeze. Is it me or does the manual lack directions for how to load the filament? This is my first printer so I have no idea how to do it. I'm sure I can find a tutorial on UA-cam just puzzled why the manufacturer didn't include that
Just joined your Patreon. Just got my Ender 3 this week and your videos got me up and printing on day 1. Your profiles have also cut my print times in half. Thanks! I've printed some two color signage by pausing a print, swapping filament, then resuming. I would be interested in a video on good options for a dual extrusion printer, either upgrading my Ender 3 with another extruder and/or hot end or your thoughts on printers with multi material printing out of the box.
These videos are great, especially for raw beginners like myself. I am wondering if you could put out a video of how to upgrade the Ender 3 Neo controller to the new GUI based controller? I have been searching for information but haven't found any. Time to ask the pro's!
@@FilamentFriday The Creality controller that the V2 Neo's have on them. It's called the Creality Original Upgrade Ender 3 V2 Intelligent Screen Kit HD Color Screen Display Compatible with Ender-3 V2, Ender 3 pro, Ender 3 3D Printer.
I keep having issues with mine. I had a good print out of it then I went to go do another one and it keeps failing to extrude. I’ve levelled the bed up numerous times incase this was the issue and made sure no cables were making contact with the bed wheel, I’ve used the needle that came with the printer. Ive now ordered some cleaning filament to see if I can cold pull whatever is blocking it up if it is a blockage. It’s honestly driving me nuts 😂
I have a ender 3 neo, and I have had a real time dialing it in, I finally have it almost printing properly. Now I'm having an issue with it dislodging the glass build plate in the middle of the print. Any suggestions for fixing this issue would be appreciated.
Hey I just got one of these, any chance that you could explain how you got it to do the test print? Also do you need to do the offset thing or can you leave it as is with only the one level testing thing? I’m new to 3d printers and so I’m concerned about me messing it up somehow. Any help is appreciated!
Which printer profile should i use for Ender 3 neo as I cannot find any profile for the Neo versions on Cura 5.2.1 I am currently using the 'Creality Ender-3/Ender-3 v2' profile
@@FilamentFriday Great video. I just set up my neo and fired it up. Auto level was not an option in the menu. Is it possible to upgrade the firmware to add this feature? I leveled it by the manual method with paper.
Works great out of the box took some time to put together and to get the bed level, I'm doing my first print it's 3/4 done it's the boat and seems to be doing really good.
Hello, great video to watch, but I got a question for you. I just got my Ender 3 Neo, and by quickly looking through the ultimaker cura 5.3.0, I can't find this exact printer. So, can I use another profile for another printer, so to speak, or is there a problem from me? Thank you again for all of your videos!
you can add a custom fff printer, you will need to know your start and end gcode amongst other parameters. I don't have the neo, just helping someone else. I guarantee their are reddit posts and/or videos to help you with the settings
What if nothing moves when I try and set the z offset? I am completely new to this and am having the hardest time leveling this thing. I have watched so many videos. Help!
Chep, I love your Fast 0.28, its my go to profile. But I have a problem with functional parts that need to fit together, and don't know where to look to adjust it. I have STLs for a Clay Extruder. The parts have fittings for specific metal parts. I find all the "Holes" to be too small. In fact I played with the Horizontal Hole setting and for the larger 1" size holes adding (subtracting) 0.35mm make a fitting part. The problem is since that is GLOBAL, say a 3mm screw hole is now way too big. It does not appear to have a percentage setting, just in mm. So, is it line width, or what other setting could I look at to prevent the "Holes" from shrinking. Thanks again!
Hi, I watched your previous video on assembling an Ender 3. I noticed that you used a speed square and clamps in that assembly guide, but not your later videos. Is it still recommended or is it no longer needed on the new Ender 3 neos?
Hey i am going to buy my first 3d printer but i am not able to decide which to buy ender 3 neo or anycubic cobra i am also new to 3d printing Please reply 🙏
Are there any good hot end replacements for this printer? I need to replace it due to my own error but the one I bought just seems too, for lack of a better word, short. The nozzle doesn't reach all the way to the bed.
Makes me wonder if the manuals on these are done better as well, one for the original Ender 3 had one image for the assembly of the extrusion the hotend rides on that was pretty hard to make sense of.
Are there different versions of the Neo? I watched this for clarity while building mine and noticed that your screen has 3 expansion ports. Mine only has one(port 3).
Why didn't they include tensioner nobs and internal power supply? Looks like they used the pro firmware when i like the v2 firmware better. This video made me reconsider getting the neo.
Can you please help me? At 3:20 your belt idler has 2 holes for 2 screws... Where do they go screwed to? It doesn't make sense to me. Thank you so much!!!
@@FilamentFriday Thank you so much for the quick reply. I was able to figure it out last night. Your video was very clear and answered a lot of my other questions. Thank you!!!
Hey...so I got the Ender 3 neo and when I'm screwing the spool holder it's getting free and comes off even when I have tightened it all the way. It is wiggly and not tight enough to hold the filament spool.
So i was putting the top bar thing on and the srews cpuldnt go in as it was to far to the left i put an aln wrench in in the meantime do you reckon its fine or not
got mine put together, followed this guide and it was fine ..... went to crealitys actual level guide because i forgot the name of this video to level it and it left a massive groove in the print bed followed this guide again and now i cant get it to level atall ,, cant print because the nozzle just scrapes the bed badly and now i have no idea how to fix it
Did you solve it? you can try by doing a factory reset and start over.Then first auto home the printer, then move the Z axis via motion in menu, go slow in 0.1 increments and see what happens near zero because you will have to adjust the z offset in Motion menu until the Zero of the Z axis is when the nozzle is almos touching the bed. Then check the corners but go slowly in case the is a raised corner that can make contact with the nozzle. You might have know all this but just in case.
@Drumaier J managed to get a somewhat printable level it's not perfect but it did a 6 hrs print fine ... I tightened all screws to their max adjusted z to near the bed and just went around each corner with motor off and loosened them accordingly for each corner er u til I could moved the hot end around the whole bed without touching. Creality need to take ownership of that video and remove it because its really bad and a few other had the same issue
@@arcticwolf1599 I partially agree with you. I think if you do what they do in the video right away (without using a different approach before) you shouldn't have that problem of nozzle going against the bed. But they would do a service to themselves and their clients if they to explain things more deeply, letting you know why and when to do this and that. Btw I recommend you to print and install the leveling wheels clips that you can download at Printables, they hold the wheels in place so they can't freely get loose. That way if you get the bed perfectly calibrated you don't lose it that easily, I swear is the best mod ever for ender printers. Also try to not disable steppers when leveling and move the extruder via motion in the display when going to the corners... This way you avoid accidentally moving the x gantry up or down.
I'll never understand these manufacturers that keep making new models with some improvements but not all, either refine your product over time or just make total new models. Why the V1 style screen, why non-adjustable belt tensioners, why not tabs on gantry assembly to keep keep square, why no solid rubber bed mounts, still no PTFE/Cable support from hot end or wire guides, unguarded LCD screen.... all these little same/similar cost 'fixes' that improve it so much
Hi just wondering . im going to buy and ender 3 neo and i have a macbook how would i connect the printer to the computer . and what software would i use to input models and print them off . thanks i hope this is not to confusing :)
I would recommend you also consider the newer Ender 3 V3 SE vs the Neo. ua-cam.com/video/AZwiJLddZXs/v-deo.htmlsi=T_RDWfLzsZOl69Va I use the SD card to load files in to printer. . The free Creality Print slicer software can be used to slice the files.
@@FilamentFriday and just wondering if i did buy the v3 se what what would be the best free printing software for it which could be used on mac book ? Thanks
When I slide my top assembly for the top on it goes on ,but I can not get the threaded rod to go down I to the t nut….. it makes a clicking sound …any advise ?
I have a 2 month old NEO MAX. The nozzle/hot end leaked hot filament all over it halfway through a print (first 8 hours were successful). It made the nozzle and hot end a mess that I couldn't salvage. I bought a Creality spider pro hot end because it said it was ender 3 line compatible.... it is not. The Neo Max hot end shroud doesn't fit on the top tube end nor the bottom cooling fan end. So now I have a neo max mess that isn't functioning. Not real happy with the 13 hour time zone differential support on it either. So do you know of a 300F full replacement option for the whole hotend/shroud?
CR Touch blows. I am used to manually leveling and having a z-stop switch. I dont even see a z-stop switch on my neo. If I could go back id get ender 3, and just replace springs and bed.
I feel you. In the same position rn. CR Touch giving wild differences. I just want to manually mesh level with ISCOC firmware but cant because of this shitty cr touch.
question for ...the internet....im looking at a first printer for tpu specifically, can grab a 2month old stock ender3 neo for $225aud or a fully decked out ie, upgraded silent stepper board, hotend upgrade, klicky probe, cooling duct + fan ,microswiss direct drive, klipper pre-installled ender pro for $300aud. Dunno diddly squat yet but while the neo seems like a steal im wondering if all the work done to the pro makes it a better choice for tpu or is it better to grab the cheaper yet newer neo and put the leftover bux into a direct drice upgrade have an overall better/newer unit perhaps?
Hey there! I was having the exact same issues. I was just using the stock files included with the printer. Were you able to figure it out? Also what filament were you using? Thanks!
Oh btw when loading filament into the white tubing how far will it go? When I loaded it in through the white tubing I hear a small click, dose that mean it is done setup? Please let me know ty but then power supply was up too high so had to assemble all that top part to the power supply and turn that side part the right way but then the screws won’t screw into the power supply at all don’t understand that at all or have that part backwards? Anyone out here on UA-cam live in Spokane and come and physically help me with this? I am old 66+ woman had it all together except those red and black cables with yellow male and female was way to short to even work those cables were in the printer bed kept hanging up so that’s when I realized the holes were up side down, so Amazon is replacing the whole printer for another new one for 100% free cause the manual dose not show how the holes are to be lined up, too small print to even read it. Anyways a new free one getting next Tuesday, one time only, so any one in Spokane Washington can come over and help me after next Tuesday? How can I attach the power supply on to side of printer and secure it? Screw holes not good at all.
Also why are my black and red cords to connect power supply too short and how do I get it longer because it’s catching on to the glass bed under neath for it to move back and forth?
Wow I fixed my issue power supply is now on my table instead of screwed on to 3D printer and I am now test printing a rabbit it is Easter lol. Where do I get more patterns for free on to me SD card?
@Heavenly Gifted Art Studio And Sims 4 Game I had this exact issue; the instructions showed one way, I tried that... then I got confused. Noticed the holes were higher, so I flipped it.
WE NEED MORE VIDEOS FOR THIS EXACT PRINTER I CANT FIND ANY

Having trouble, I can’t seem to get the filament to come out of the nozzle, (first time user)
is there a print for the Hex t set?
How do i get the connecter clips out????
I can’t seem to find the screw to put the screw axis on the motor
Can you please help me? At 3:20 your belt idler has 2 holes for 2 screws... Where do they go screwed to? It doesn't make sense to me. Thank you so much!!!
Into T-nuts as I stated. They slide into the crossbeam groove.
@@FilamentFriday Thank you so much for the quick reply. I was able to figure it out last night. Your video was very clear and answered a lot of my other questions. Thank you!!!
Hey...so I got the Ender 3 neo and when I'm screwing the spool holder it's getting free and comes off even when I have tightened it all the way. It is wiggly and not tight enough to hold the filament spool.
Never heard of that. It’s just a twist lock not a screw in.
So i was putting the top bar thing on and the srews cpuldnt go in as it was to far to the left i put an aln wrench in in the meantime do you reckon its fine or not
can you email me how to set up temps, fan speed, and nozzle and what isPLA & FBS
got mine put together, followed this guide and it was fine ..... went to crealitys actual level guide because i forgot the name of this video to level it and it left a massive groove in the print bed
followed this guide again and now i cant get it to level atall ,, cant print because the nozzle just scrapes the bed badly and now i have no idea how to fix it
Did you solve it? you can try by doing a factory reset and start over.Then first auto home the printer, then move the Z axis via motion in menu, go slow in 0.1 increments and see what happens near zero because you will have to adjust the z offset in Motion menu until the Zero of the Z axis is when the nozzle is almos touching the bed. Then check the corners but go slowly in case the is a raised corner that can make contact with the nozzle. You might have know all this but just in case.
@Drumaier J managed to get a somewhat printable level it's not perfect but it did a 6 hrs print fine ... I tightened all screws to their max adjusted z to near the bed and just went around each corner with motor off and loosened them accordingly for each corner er u til I could moved the hot end around the whole bed without touching.
Creality need to take ownership of that video and remove it because its really bad and a few other had the same issue
@@arcticwolf1599 I partially agree with you. I think if you do what they do in the video right away (without using a different approach before) you shouldn't have that problem of nozzle going against the bed. But they would do a service to themselves and their clients if they to explain things more deeply, letting you know why and when to do this and that. Btw I recommend you to print and install the leveling wheels clips that you can download at Printables, they hold the wheels in place so they can't freely get loose. That way if you get the bed perfectly calibrated you don't lose it that easily, I swear is the best mod ever for ender printers. Also try to not disable steppers when leveling and move the extruder via motion in the display when going to the corners... This way you avoid accidentally moving the x gantry up or down.
I'll never understand these manufacturers that keep making new models with some improvements but not all, either refine your product over time or just make total new models.
Why the V1 style screen, why non-adjustable belt tensioners, why not tabs on gantry assembly to keep keep square, why no solid rubber bed mounts, still no PTFE/Cable support from hot end or wire guides, unguarded LCD screen.... all these little same/similar cost 'fixes' that improve it so much
Hi just wondering . im going to buy and ender 3 neo and i have a macbook how would i connect the printer to the computer .
and what software would i use to input models and print them off . thanks i hope this is not to confusing :)
I would recommend you also consider the newer Ender 3 V3 SE vs the Neo. ua-cam.com/video/AZwiJLddZXs/v-deo.htmlsi=T_RDWfLzsZOl69Va
I use the SD card to load files in to printer. .
The free Creality Print slicer software can be used to slice the files.
@@FilamentFriday ok thanks will do
@@FilamentFriday and just wondering if i did buy the v3 se what what would be the best free printing software for it
which could be used on mac book ? Thanks
When I slide my top assembly for the top on it goes on ,but I can not get the threaded rod to go down I to the t nut….. it makes a clicking sound …any advise ?
Loosen the T nut screws slightly.
I have a 2 month old NEO MAX.
The nozzle/hot end leaked hot filament all over it halfway through a print (first 8 hours were successful). It made the nozzle and hot end a mess that I couldn't salvage. I bought a Creality spider pro hot end because it said it was ender 3 line compatible.... it is not. The Neo Max hot end shroud doesn't fit on the top tube end nor the bottom cooling fan end. So now I have a neo max mess that isn't functioning. Not real happy with the 13 hour time zone differential support on it either.
So do you know of a 300F full replacement option for the whole hotend/shroud?
Muchan you are great man ❤
CR Touch blows. I am used to manually leveling and having a z-stop switch. I dont even see a z-stop switch on my neo. If I could go back id get ender 3, and just replace springs and bed.
I feel you. In the same position rn. CR Touch giving wild differences. I just want to manually mesh level with ISCOC firmware but cant because of this shitty cr touch.
what is the power do i put for canada
question for ...the internet....im looking at a first printer for tpu specifically, can grab a 2month old stock ender3 neo for $225aud or a fully decked out ie, upgraded silent stepper board, hotend upgrade, klicky probe, cooling duct + fan ,microswiss direct drive, klipper pre-installled ender pro for $300aud. Dunno diddly squat yet but while the neo seems like a steal im wondering if all the work done to the pro makes it a better choice for tpu or is it better to grab the cheaper yet newer neo and put the leftover bux into a direct drice upgrade have an overall better/newer unit perhaps?
Whats the difference from the Neo and the Pro?
Believe I cover that here: ua-cam.com/video/8yFd4Df6Sow/v-deo.html
@@FilamentFriday Thanks a lot Chep!!!
How did you get the left screw in for the z motor? I had to remove the rod to get the screw past :(
Just angled it in.
@@FilamentFriday I tried, oh well.
he said the manual was easy
For some reason my models are not sticking to the bed. Any advice

Hey there! I was having the exact same issues. I was just using the stock files included with the printer. Were you able to figure it out?
Also what filament were you using? Thanks!
what power do i put the voltage for uk

5:30 my one has a really short z cable and it can’t connect so can someone please help me
Anyone knows how to remove the coating off the glass bed in the ender 3 v2??
Just flip it over
Oh btw when loading filament into the white tubing how far will it go? When I loaded it in through the white tubing I hear a small click, dose that mean it is done setup? Please let me know ty but then power supply was up too high so had to assemble all that top part to the power supply and turn that side part the right way but then the screws won’t screw into the power supply at all don’t understand that at all or have that part backwards? Anyone out here on UA-cam live in Spokane and come and physically help me with this? I am old 66+ woman had it all together except those red and black cables with yellow male and female was way to short to even work those cables were in the printer bed kept hanging up so that’s when I realized the holes were up side down, so Amazon is replacing the whole printer for another new one for 100% free cause the manual dose not show how the holes are to be lined up, too small print to even read it. Anyways a new free one getting next Tuesday, one time only, so any one in Spokane Washington can come over and help me after next Tuesday? How can I attach the power supply on to side of printer and secure it? Screw holes not good at all.
Also why are my black and red cords to connect power supply too short and how do I get it longer because it’s catching on to the glass bed under neath for it to move back and forth?
Wow I fixed my issue power supply is now on my table instead of screwed on to 3D printer and I am now test printing a rabbit it is Easter lol. Where do I get more patterns for free on to me SD card?
@Heavenly Gifted Art Studio And Sims 4 Game I had this exact issue; the instructions showed one way, I tried that... then I got confused. Noticed the holes were higher, so I flipped it.
@Cobaltios I decided to return mine just not for me received refund so not have to make payments. So I guess just a bad buy for me, no more on these.
You don’t explain what screws to grab
Check the manual. Not that hard.
