Thanks this was helpful. Kind of annoyed you sped up the parts I needed the most, but by slowing the video down to 0.25, pausing and squinting was able to figure it out
Thanks so much for this well explained video. Funny how the Creality sensor comes with no instructions whatsoever. This was just what I needed to make it all work. Except the part about pulling off the entire x-axis. Managed to install the sensor without having to do this step. Thanks again.
It seems like more people actually made it work without tearing of the whole axis 😀 Glad you like the video! Yeah it's funny how they don't even supply any firmware build for it, you really have to kinda know what you're doing to install it 😅
@@yoramswiers It was a fiddly process, which I did before watching your video. In hindsight, I think it would be easier on the fingers to take off the whole axis like you explained. Live and learn. I guess they rely on folks like you to put out explainer videos.
I got a black screen after following your instructions exactly. So here’s what I did. Might make a difference for someone having trouble. Don’t do the “quick format” option on the card. Do a full format. Also I hit the “eject “ button before pulling the card out of the computer. I also pulled the power cord out for a few seconds, turned switch on then back off, plugged cord back in and inserted so card with firmware on it. Powered back up and it works perfect. Don’t know what exactly I did wrong the first time.
good vid mate easy to follow, you can install the sensor without removing the whole thing, just gotta undo the 3 bolts holding the bearings in and it pops off, saves some time. Firmware install was super easy to follow. keep up the good work
That's awesome, glad you liked it! Did you actually managed to get of the screw that goes in the T slot on the X-axis. I Tried it but didn't really work and I got get it off I wouldn't be able to get it back in there very easily. Hence why I went this route, am I missing something?
I have the Creality Ender 3 V2 with the 4.2.2 highly modified. I am running the added z axis 2nd motor upgrade which I highly recommend(gets rid of any sag on x axis) along with the $40 Creality Direct Drive extruder(they did release newer direct drive for around$98 which I may upgrade to in future but happy with current setup). The $40 direct drive has worked flawless since install and setup. I just picked up the filament detector will use your video to get it hooked up, I will have to design different mounting since I am running direct driver extruder. I am also using CR touch added some G Code for the auto level routine, have not had to set any height changes in over six months, works incredibly well. I also just recently bought the surround chamber for the unit which should keep temps more stable. I have used PLA, PLA PLUS, NylonX with CF, and PETG with CF without any issues to date. I actually like the way the CF adds some hold to the prints keeps things stiff while printing tall items. My most used nozzle is the hardened steel .6mm for type of items I 3d print it is good speed and quality good compromise, plus holds up well to the CF.
I came here to watch how the sensor is installed. Your video failed because the actual part I was interested in was sped up. I'm not interested in having to pause every ten seconds to catch up. No love from me. Sorry.
Same! I have an original cr10 and can't find instructions anywhere on how to replace the extruder bracket clearly. Most are gor different models and the steps don't apply. Has anyone found a good guide? I also can't believe that creality doesn't have a support site for their products. Everything is via email and that is slow and communication is iffy. If you ask more than one question they only answer one and you have to keep going back and forth. They should have online instructions at minimum and a video tutorial would be great! I'm seriously starting to get put off from Creality and I've supported them since 2016.
Thanks for these tips, Im just few weeks new to 3D printing and i am still a newbie, i bought Ender 3 V2 from a friend (2nd hand) so its my first 3D printer, I hope to learn more tips from you sir!.. God Bless
Hello.Please help me with the choice of firmware on my printer, My motherboard version 4.2.2 is also equipped with filament sensor Touch sensors , which firmware should I choose specifically for my motherboard . My TFT display. How to flash the display to work with my motherboard. thank you in advance
i hope you still read these comments. i followed your directions perfectly, when i turn the printer back on i get the creality screen then it freezes. I'm at a lost on what to do. help or advice would be greatly appreciated
I have an Ender 3 V2 4.2.2 and I installed the oem filament sensor and I have a touch screen, I am unable to update the firmware, it wakes to a Creality screen with a progress bar and nothing ever happens. Any ideas?
Thanks for the video this is exactly what I was looking for. Also, this video is so professional I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. subbing now!
hey thanks for the video. i have followed it exactly and for some reason the z axis will not touch the bed anymore to level the bed. any ideas what i can do?
I guess there has to be a 3dprinted base to attach next to extruder so you dont have to disassemble the half printer. I have something similar as a filament guide.
after doing this seems like the sensor is inversed, it it shows filament runout when it has filament, but shows there is filament when filament is taken out. how do I fix this?
Hmm don't know for sure but I think it's possible it works. The sensors seems very similar and have the same amount of pins, so it may work if you're lucky, but it's probably going to need some extra configuring though.
I currently have the Ender-3 v2 Neo with the 4.2.7 motherboard. It has the leveling sensor on it also. Is the default firmware still the correct download?
Hello, can you make a video for Ender3 V2 for clogs detection? Bcz most of the time the printer keeps printing, the filament is also there but due to clog nothing comes out.
Thank you for doing this video first off. Second I have the ender 3 v2 but haven't assembled it yet how can I install this sensor when I assemble it for the first time? Does this question make sense?
I bought a generic $1.69 runout sensor on Aliexpress and printed my own bracket that is combined with a roller style filament guide that uses a standard skateboard bearing. I might upload the design to thingaverse since I had to remix multiple designs to get the nice roller/sensor/bracket combo perfect for my Ender 3v2. I also made an second version for my Voxelab Aquila.

Except that when there is a current break, the print does not restart where it stopped, but it starts from the beginning. Can you help me? Thank you and beautiful day,
thank you for this tutorial. without which it was a mission impossible ! However, now I'm looking for an easy way to replace the filament once the end is detected . it's really difficult with so few space betwwen the sensor and the extrude. any advice ?
Hello. What firmware i need to choose because i alredy got CR Touch and now i install that smart filnament sensor... in github site they re many choises... i know what board i got but idk what is the correct file... I got this option...

And i got btt smart filament sensor ... not same u got in the video... Thanks for answer !
Thanks for the great video. An easy step by step. Just one question, will the Jyers E3V2-BLTouch-3x3-HS-v4.2.2-v2.0.1.bin work on my Ender 3B and will it have the firmware for both CR Touch and Filament runout sensor. Thanks.
I don't know for sure but I suspect it would. As long as you pick the firmware that is configured for your board there is not much that can go wrong. It may not work but your printer isn't going to blow up :p
Hi! Great video, I've one question though I have a ender 3 v2 Neo, and I think the firmware is different for the regular v2, can I install the sensor without changing the firmware?
Just looked up the Ender 3 neo hadn't heard of it. I have no idea what it's firmware looks like, it's possible that it has the option to enable a filament sensor but I am not sure.
Yes check around 7:00 or github.com/Jyers/Marlin/releases . Here you can find different firmware builds depending on your configuration, as you can see some have BLTouch in the name.
Thanks for the video. I got right to the end and found it didn’t align with my Redrex Dual Gear Extruder Metal Drive Feeder. I need to raise the run out sensor by 10mm.
Hey, on my printer I use a sensor witch has 3 wires. I followed all steps, but wenn Iit starts printing it emedietly show Filament Runout. Does sameone know why it could be?
Does it keep printing if no filament is loaded into the filament sensor? If so, it's probably just a matter of switching 2 pins on the connector. If that's not the case you can always send me a dm on any of my social media and we can try and resolve it!
No it stops printing and starts the reload process. It stops printing even there is filament in the sensor. But i have seen a video on how to use such a sensor and i realy have to change some wires. I´ll try it out later.
This is a great starter video about the process of installation however you are doing too much work ! You can disconnect the tube feeder and connectors to the extruder feeder motor and remove the three nuts that attach the mounting plate to the gantry. Also, remove the two screws that attach the screw drive. This allows the removal of the extruder feeder assembly without disassembling the frame and removing the entire gantry. Easy !!!
@@patrickrauch4890 If you checked version number on the board and it matches the firmware version number and it still does not work. My first guess would be a hardware related issue... Maybe you can try using a different sd card? Also are you able to flash the stock firmware version from the Creality website?
@@yoramswiers Hi there, I have the same issue as listed above. I can indeed flash the stock firmware and print normally again. Also, the filament sensor does have power and turns on its light when I insert filament. Therefore I was thinking it isn't a hardware issue. I am however using an ender 3 pro, with a v4.2.2 board. I thought this version would be identical as it's the same board, but would you might know if there's anything in the firmware I need to change to accomodate for the different type of printer? I'm gonna work on this a little longer and if I get something that works I'll let you guys know.
Oh my gooood it makes my eyes bleed man! Never lay down your printer on its back! You have just bended Z axis T-nut! And that's how z-wobble appears after filament sensor installed XD If you want access to mainboard lay down your printer on its side, never give preassure on Z axis nut!
That's indeed a valid point, putting a lot of pressure on the z-axis would not be good. I this case I don't think the weight of the printer is actually enough to do some permanent damage, but still better to avoid than having to fix it.
Thanks for the video. Please DON'T call a video "How to" unless you show details on each part and how to do it. Instead, you sped it up like crazy and I nearly broke my printer. I would appreciate a more clear video. Thanks
