The rocket ship looks like it was badly photoshopped into the video lol
I was about to type the same. Till he grabed it I thought it was just bad CG, included de bin!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Bryan looks like he was badly photoshopped into the video ^^
That is trippy looking
Oh god you're right ahaha
First time watcher, the moment you said "Sometimes I say "Sometimes" too much, but only sometimes" I decided to subscribe. Keep it up!
Same here! I smiled and pressed subscribe.
I did the exact same haha
That's something my dad would say
This is the way.
The only real thing wrong with using ‘sometimes’ is that it doesn’t describe often, rarely, occasionally etc.
I've had my v2 for a few days now. I levelled the bed using the gcode from Chep (filament Friday) and all my prints so far have been stellar. Very very impressed.
Thanks a lot, it's such a relief to see what I've bought is not a completed waste! My Ender 3 V2 is here, planning on assembling the same tomorrow! Thanks for all the content you produce, it really helps alleviate fear for 3D printing beginners like me.
I fell upon your videos while installing a BL touch on my Ender 3 V2. You gave off an Adam Savage vibe. I was totally sold. You have since helped me as a newbie to the 3D printing world. You have some of the best instructional videos on UA-cam. Keep it up!!
So much great info. Thank you. Also, I don't think there's another blogger who I don't have to speed up to not get bored. I actually had to turn on captions and go back multiple times. That's a compliment coming from me. Thank you for not boring the life out of me! And again, so much great info for this 100% novice. Stay safe!
I really thought all the prints were not real, until you picked them up! LOL!
Now that you mention it they do look edited in haha
I guess it's a combination of the lighting and the filament? 😄
yeah, same
What an awesome review!! I was looking around at so many printers as I am very new to the game and when I watched this video I had my final decision and order one right away!! Should be here in a couple of days!!
Keep up the great work!!
I've only seen a couple of your videos (I'm brand new to 3d printing I just got my printer Saturday) your videos are great and thank you for explaining it the way you do. I understand things better here than other videos I've watched. I also love your shirts! They're awesome
My E3V2 should be here on Wednesday. I have watch this and the assembly video several times and will be sure to use the assembly video during my build, thanks for doing these..
Thanks for the great detailed review of this printer! This helped me solidify my decision of purchasing one of these soon!
Great review ! Im new to 3d printing and i’m getting my brand new ender 3 v2 in the next few days (it’s being shipped right now.)
Details in this video are great and well explained. Thanks for making me happy with my purchase !
You are awesome! Hope your channel grows, just starting to get into 3D printing and this review was extremely helpful in my decision for my first printer purchase. Cheers!
I'm glad you mentioned the fan noise. On my previous printer I fitted noctura 12v fans but I'm eager to find a simple solution on the Ender. It would also be good if it had a sleep-mode after a print.
Your work here is very much appreciated. Thank you sir !!
I've had my Ender 3 v2 for a couple of months now. It is my first 3d printer and so far I'm very happy with it. In terms of complaints about the user interface, the solution is simple: Octoprint. I installed it on a very old Raspberry Pi version B I had laying around and it works great. I'll never use the Ender front panel or thumb drive again!
UA-camr of the year, fun, informative, clear and concise. Sub’d!
Always makes me happy when the subscribe button in a video shows like 1000 subs then I look at how many they have now and its like 17x that.
Wow Bryan congrats on 10k subscribers, you have really exploded in popularity and it is well deserved!
I’d never thought about how many subscribers Bryan had until I saw your comment- my mind was blown. He makes videos like a channel with 100,000+ subs, I can’t believe he’s at just 10k! Congratulations are in order, indeed.
Thank you, John! I appreciate it! 😀
@shootingstar2061 Thanks! Maybe someday! 😉
Dude your content is so good and presented so well, I can't help but subscribe 👍
Another great informative video! I'm awaiting delivery tomorrow for the v2. I added on the bl touch, new bowden tube, and spring set for the bed. I still have the old printrbot metal that just refuses to function, so this will be a great step up.
I've been looking on Creality's site for the BL Touch kit that's got the mount for the Ender 3V2 but I haven't found it yet. I'm probably just not looking in the right place. 🙂
@@BV3D I ended up on Amazon and got it from antclabs. It was almost a stopping point at getting it, but i figured anything is possible with a printer. I have seen a video were someone printed the mount. I might give that a go until a model specific mount becomes available.
I’ve had mine for about a week, already put a Sprite direct drive extruder, 4.2.7 board, CR Touch and Marlin professional firmware. Took a lot of fine tuning but it’s printing excellent now. I even printed an inlay to go in that tool drawer for spare parts and hardware.
Thanks for the info, clear, simple yet complete and without being a 30min video.
My V2 arrives today, I'll be back on your channel ;-)
Hi! I'm glad you liked the video. Fair warning though, sometimes the review videos DO get into the 30 minute range. 😅
How are you liking the V2?
@@dustyrhodes1655 I loved it and sold it to a friend who keeps loving it. Would have kept it if I could, but not compatible with my moving plans ;)
Thanks for a very informative video that’s really helping to inform my choice for which printer to get next
Thorough. Mine is still in the box, just got it. Thanks.
This is an awesome printer, I have one and I can print Proffie Lightsaber hilts on it. I heavily modified it with a BL Touch and custom firmware. Well worth the money. Thanks for the upgrade videos, I think you channel is great.
Thanks for a really well put together review.
11:58 Great video as usual!
1 thing to add. Replace the glass bed with a double sided smooth PEI / Powder Coated Textured PEI spring steel flex sheet! I.e. Fulament, or other single sided alternatives similar to Prusa bed solution. And yes, GLUESTICK!
Since your a very experienced user, we see you had no trouble getting your prints to stick and successful without destroying them, unlike some "other" reviewers! GREAT JOB!
The Ender 3 V2 is so much better than 3 and the PRO for the money and it's overall "finished" product.
Hi Tim! Thanks! For the glass beds I keep a set of plastic putty knives for prying "large footprint" models off the glass. But I sometimes have to work a thin blade under one edge of the print.
BIQU sent me their "Super Spring Steel Sheet" for review. It's double-sided, textured PEI. So I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do. The spring steel feels thinner than the Wham Bam spring steel sheets I typically use.
9 months later there are quite a few upgrades available , tweaked versions of Marlin , Bl touch , better display firmware , dual z axis leadscrew kits and full metal hot end or direct drive conversions but the FIRST thing to do is change the bed levelling springs - the factory ones are too weak .
This is the wonderful thing about 3D printing - it never stops evolving !
Nice review, thank you!
Thanks for the vid! I used your affiliate link to order a Ender 3 V2 and filament. Was far cheaper than Amazon. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for helping support the channel, Bradley! 👍
I like how you moved the trash can at the end to make space for the tumbnails on screen
Thanks for the great video. While I do feel the Ender-3 V2 is an improvement over the Ender 3/Pro, I feel they have missed addressing a few basic design problems. Not enough attention is paid to the mechanical alignment of the XYZ stages. Much of that could be addressed by through inexpensive changes in construction and assembly technique. This accounts for much of the variability in print quality. The second major limitation is the hot end design. The direct coupling of of the PTFE tubing to the nozzle is a bad design and a frequent source of problems. Decoupling the Bowden tube with an internal metal tube as is done in the Swiss All Metal hot end would would fix that. Replacement of the hot-end assembly, is a tedious and time consuming process. Again, making this more modular and using quick connectors, would be a vast improvement. I do agree the 32 bit board is welcome and especially the simplified firmware updating. Silent fans of a higher quality at a small cost which most consumers would willingly pay for the improvements in durability and quiet operation.
Great review! And sticked very well to the prompter 😂
Thanks for the absolutely legendary review vid
Yes, Ender-3 V2 is a really excentent printer! I believe it would be the most popular printer this year!
Great review. Thanks.
Brilliant, very helpfull. Thanks for the info.
wow you just got a new sub , This is an awesome review ! Thanks
Thanks for the review - it looks like Creality have paid attention to the Ender 3 (and 3 Pro) mods that have emerged in places like Thingiverse and incorporated them in to the standard product. Also, it looks like you've installed your filament reel holder bracket back to front. The way you have it, you won't be able to fit a full-size 90mm reel on it. That's certainly the case on the standard Ender 3 and the bracket looks identical.
Hi Steve! You're right, the drawer, belt tensioners, extruder knob are simple prints that a lot of people like to use (especially the extruder knob). And to move the PSU horizontally behind the printer there are printable brackets. I do appreciate having all these things already done on the V2, so I'm glad Creality rolled all that into the design.
I honestly didn't expect to like that drawer as well as I do. I finally found one I like on Thingiverse for my Ender 3 Standard, and it's printing now. It's over 24 hours to print the drawer frame and the two drawers that go in it.
And yes, I did the spool holder like that because most of my spools are only 65-70mm thick, and I think the bracket looks better with the metal folded toward the back. 🙂 So, purely an aesthetics choice on my part, but I'll know what to do if I get an extra thick spool. 👍
Great review, thanks!
its like a 3dprinter video with a dadjoke as script, love it
Thanks for the review
Awesome video and thanks for sharing‼️
If you don’t mind me asking, which glue stick works better and which isopropyl alcohol brand do you prefer/ works better than others??
Is there an upgrade to quieter fans?
THanks for the quick review. Now I can go to class :D
Great review!
I don't often comment on videos.. but when one does a good job.. well, good review sir!
Nice review, although I was sold on this one after watching the unbox/first print vid. :)
Are there any print bed stick on surfaces (they probably have a cool TLA that I don’t know about) that you would recommend, for this printer?
Thanks for your amazing video
Well Bryan, Congratulations on the 10k subscribes can’t wait to see you at the 100k subs. I think that Creality Fell short on this printer. So for the extra money you get a few frills like belt adjustments. Unlike the anycubic Glass bed this one seems like a poor copy. I think it is actually missing two items 1) A removable spring steel bed. 2) Automatic bed leveling. Without these additional features from my perspective I think the pro is a much better deal. Again congratulations take care great video as usual and be safe
Hi David! Thank you! It took two and a half years to get to 10K, so I'm hoping it doesn't take 25 years to gget to 100K! I'll be REALLY old then!
At the time the V2 came out, the price premium over the Pro was about even with what you'd need to pay to add a silent board to the Pro, to match the silent board on the V2 (even though the board you'd be getting for the Pro was 8-bit).
But now with the price shuffling that Creality has done, particularly the current sale prices, it may be harder to make the argument for the V2 over the Pro. The price is currently US$60 more for the V2 (both printers are on sale, with the V2 at US$269 and the Pro at US$209). Though at full retail cost, the difference is only US$30.
I'd like to see bed leveling and a spring steel sheet too. Maybe they'll make an Ender 3V2 Pro? 😉
Yery informative video. I've been considering this printer and this helps. One small thing, some if us aren't as technically minded as others. Maybe you could put a time stamp for when you give your pros and cons, after all the technical details. Just a thought. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great video Bryan!
Hi Thomas! Thank you! 😀
Thank u 4 this!
Thanks for your excellent video.
RRAEELY good video, and I think Ender-3 V2 is the most popular machine in 2020, the maybe even in the 2021, let's looking forward to it!
Great info Bryan! I agree with everything you said about the v2 as far as likes and dislikes..One thing I disliked when I got my v2 was that there was NO 'resume' function..If you started a print and 'paused' it, there was no 'resume' button..Was a little frustrating and caused me to abort a couple of prints that I had to pause because of a filament break...BUT, after updating the firmware, there is a 'resume' function! Make sure you have the correct firmware..In the 'About' screen it should show firmware version 1.0.2 , most v2's will ship with version 1.0.1..go creality.com/download , click on Ender series then Ender 3 v2 and this is the file you should get Ender-3 V2_32bit_ 2.0.1V Latest Firmware_0814.rar dated August 14th 2020...
Also, after the firmware upgrade the print quality improved dramatically without me doing a thing in my profiles! Nice..:)
Thanks a ton for the tip! ;)
Hi Jon, I'm glad Creality got that rolled into the new firmware. One thing I'd like to see in the "Tune" menu while printing is being able to adjust the flow rate (not the print speed). And it would be nice if the spelling of "Z Offest" was corrected to "Z Offset," and there was a way to save the value. 👍
Nice video! Currently in the market for my second fdm printer (Something to keep my trusty Maker Select v2 from getting lonely after all these years) and have been leaning towards the Ender 3 v2.
I still can't really justify the price of a Prusia. Only feature it has that I would want is the auto bed leveling...but BLtouch would solve that.
Great video Bryan ! big fan of your channel ! I was wondering if you experienced the Y-Axis stepper getting excessively hot on your E V2 ? currently dealing with that and i have just got the printer a couple weeks ago. any thing would be great ! ( Side Note, i have adjusted the stepper voltage to the minimum suggested from creality, also everything else is in tip top shape) have a good one !
Great review Bryan. Congrats on your subscriber count, the number sometimes climbs every minute, sometimes every hour, sometimes every day. Can never have too many sometimes lol
Spike, sometimes I think you're right! 😂 Thanks!
Question: Do you know if theoretically any of the v2 features (esp the board) could allow for better quality prints via firmware optimization the original could not?
I got it for my first printer it wasnt easy to put together for a newbie but i got it together eventually
Thanks for this review! I was very into buying a Prusa Mini but unfortunately I've noticed that I would have to wait four months... Crazy! Right now I'm thinking of buying a Ender 3 v2 + Micro Swiss all metal hot end. Since I'm okay with spending about 400 euros, I'm still trying to see whether I can add come other feature.
Wow very nice and entertaining review! I hardly watch review videos completely but I really enjoyed this one! I got an ender for christmas and so far its doing good my only problem are the clamps for the glass bed. They make the bed deeper in the center and higher on the edges next to the z-axis posts. do you know anything about this?
Thank you for this video, i am going to order this unit today. What filament would you suggest for something that would need to take some wear and tear? Like a modified reverse lockout for a car, the bottom i imagine will take a little beating from sliding out of reverse. Stick with ABS for this? The factory one is plastic so i assume this will work as well, i just need a modified one for my short shifter. I already made a stl file for this :)
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for creating such amazing videos!
Bryan i have a question if you wouldn't mind me helping with. Where i am, the price of the ender 3 v2 and ender 5 pro are nearly the same. I am torn with which one to get, what would you recommend?
Regarding the TPU: I have found that TPU can be a little hard to pull from the spool and the Bowden feeder will just chew it up. My solution was to just pull a length of filament and lay it down neatly to feed it.
Coming here from the Kersey Fabrications 10k stream and I find this review of Ender 3 V2 very good. Looking forward to see more content on your chanel!
"that best friends does not see each other like forever" makes me click the subs and like button.. awesome review B|
Hi. Thank you very much for the video. Forgive me if the question is completely stupid, but if just replace the 2208 chips with hot air soldering on the 2209 chips, will this modification work (I want LA and current control).
End second question - how I can add physycal "emerengesy button" to stop printing? Connect it to contacts rst and gnd or is there a better way? Thanks.
Hi Vines,
Do you know a way to adjust the contrast of the new Ender 3 V2 display. I almost can't see the selection I made in de main menu.
Cheers,
Michael
Hi Michael, I don't think there's a way to adjust it. Is the contrast better if you look at it more from the side rather than straight on?
why am I watching Luke Skywalker reviewing an Ender 3 V2?
Ha! Not sure. Oh hey, could you swing by Tosche Station to pick up those power converters for me? Something came up and I never got around to it. 😄
@@BV3D I’m barely starting out 3-D printing, so is this a printer for beginners.
Great Video. Not sure if I should get this or an Ender 5 Pro. Have you an opinion. Both seem great. Ender 3v2 is a bit cheaper but E5 has its advantages too from what I am reading
What would you suggest for fan upgrades on the v2?
Great video, thank you. I have not bought my first printer yet but it looks like it will be the Ender 3 V2. Question, on the Creality website, they offer a bundle with the CR Touch add-on for auto-leveling. How useful is this, or put another way, how hard is it to manually level and how often does it need to be done? thanks again
I like how you add little rhymes into your review
Can you tell me the height from the table top to the top of the frame, not including the spool holder? I have a limited height in my work cabinet. I can always move the spool. The specs list it at 24.5" but in a side by side, it looked shorter than the Artillery Genius, which is 20". Thanks!
Could you make a video on how to properly do a multicolor print by pausing at height with the Ender 3 V2? I've watched other videos and the setup with Cura causes the printer to pause for a filament change, but only for 10 seconds. I appreciate your videos so much. They've helped me since day one when I put the printer together. Thanks so much. Keep the videos coming. Cheers!
Great review! My question is: Would you buy the Ender 3 V2 over the Ender 3 Pro?
Ender 3 v2 is a better performer than the Ender 3 pro. The v2 is and upgrade from the pro.
Would love to see a comparison between the v2 and the Voxelab Aquila.
Did they fix the Z axis? I understand that the alignment is off on the ender pro and others, but I haven't heard (from the many UA-cam video's ive watched, if they fixed that.
thanks for the video
You're welcome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Nicely done Sir 😊 bumping into your video seems more like a sign from God, as I was already bitten by this machine via a friend. So am very pleased to know of the small issues prior to getting one, thank you 🙏🏻 You are very like me, I’m also finding a pun or two harmless enough!
Your tips and advice were spot on and will be very helpful. I’m new obviously, yet hope that this will make some issues with model making a little easier. I will subscribe and wish you continued success ✌️
i got one it is pretty good
Blindly ordered the pro
What upgrades do i need?
Thank you.
First time watcher. Brand new 3D printer owner. Gotta get it together. Sub’d
I do a lot of pausing to change filament color. Does the pausing work the same like ender 3 pro. Since it has a different screen?
does the roll of filament not put weight on the structure that can cause it to shake more during use? that can affect the quality of the end result no?
Thanks!
Hi Josef! I realize this is several months late, but THANK YOU very much! UA-cam rolled out this Super Thanks feature but, until very recently, didn't give creators an easy way to find them. Now they have, and I wanted to say I am grateful for your support!
@@BV3D no worries. I can’t imagine what it takes to keep up in UA-cam’s world. Love the videos. Soon to be a Patreon if you have one.
My girlfriend just bought me one of these. I'll definitely check out your unboxing video when I'm putting it together.
what size nozzle did u use for the trashcan also what firmware was your ender v2 using as mine has spiral lines running all the way up anything i print in vase mode.....i know its the v2 doing it as my old stock original ender 3 can print vase mode without the issue...both printers are stock so its kinda annoying that the more expensive printer has issues when the original ender is fine
I'm really looking at getting one of these. I'm thinking about making it bigger 400x400x500 after getting used to it.
Cool! Are you going to make a DIY project of it, or are you looking at something like the EnderExtender kits?
I'm looking at the ender extender kit
I love my ender 3v2 i have done some upgrade to it i would get a second one when I get some more money
I donated to your tip jar but I really think you should consider a Patreon for fans.
That way the hardcore fans can provide perhaps useful and interesting feedback. :D
Keep up the great work!
do you know if this printer can print the Mandalorian helmet in one piece like the Sunlu did?
I’m buying one of these after watching this
I guess the interface doesn't matter for me, since I use mine through Octoprint installed on a Raspberry Pi. I do this mainly so I don't have to sneakernet the mircoSD between the printer and my PC with the slicer.
Ahh this plastic world fantastic
And, just today, my printer stopped halfway through a print, just stopped and had to be turned off. No it didn’t resume after that and I had to restart. I believe the reason was that my descriptive file name, which you can’t read on the narrow display, was more than 21 characters long. Well the much shorter file name did complete the 2 1/2 hr print with no new issues. More bits for the rejected prints bucket. I also upgraded the firmware, so easy I thought it hadn’t done anything.
Hi Klave. That's interesting about the filename length. Annoying for sure, but also interesting. I hadn't heard of that problem before, and I haven't run into it yet. But I've mostly been trying to keep my filenames short so I can read them in their entirety.
I think you might have a mystery glitch rather than a systematic error. I have sliced quite a few prints with PrusaSlicer 2.2.0+ and it makes enormously long .gcode filenames if you let it. It had one that was 58 characters long, not counting the file extension, and it printed fine on the Ender 3 V2. Try again and see what happens. Good luck.
Might want to check this out github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/18790 Have heard that this has been fixed as of build version from 9.7.2020 going forward. From what i have heard on this only happens if your printing from the SD card. I use a octoprint server so don't use the SD card to print so haven't ran into this problem myself.
Hi Brian.I have a question what is the better purchase for a newbie as myself, an Ender 3 Pro w/ upgraded Cmagnet Build Surface Plate and UL power supply V4.2.2 Mainboard Extra tempered Glass plate and Metal Extruder or The Ender-3V2 Self-Developed Mainboard with Silent TMC2208 Stepper Drivers and Smart Filament Sensor and Carborundum Glass Bed. Also I really wanted the CR10- Mini for the build volume and the price point, both of these i know will not give me that but I want the best printer for the price point. Is there a larger reliable printer that you would suggest at a similar price?
