Thanks bud. This was just a showcase of the mods. I have a video focused on the M420 S1 and Bed_Mesh_Level load=default for klipper video. I should’ve tagged that video at the end. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Sorry for the delay in more content. I’m rebuilding my Kobra max and working on the tuning. More videos soon!
Love your videos!! I always watch while I crochet. So informative! I am interested in getting a 3D printer. A bit nervous. Can you make a tutorial on 3D printing for beginners? What I would need to purchase to get started?
Thanks for the comment Cynthia. If you have a tough technique like crocheting down, then 3D printing should be a breeze. I’ll definitely put a video out for beginners. Along with (in my opinion) one of the most user friendly, efficient and speedy printers
Mate, love the video, but I'm not sure I agree that the upgrades are actually worth it. You could spend the same amount of cash and a quarter of the effort on a sovol sv07 to print benchys in 26 mins on a bigger build volume. I know this because I bought a sprite hot end and btt pi just before i heard about the sovols.
For your next upgrade, look into Voron Switchwire, I'm currently in the middle of converting my CR-10, since I had already did a linear rail conversion a few years ago.
Got mine the sprite, new heatbed, fresh motors, dual and belt driven z axis, linear rails on all axes, and Im using a pei buildplate. I even printed a 20mm extrusion for the linear rail of the y-axis to fit onto it. Im now thinking of taking the extruder apart to build my own hotend cooling shroud but yeah... maybe the sprite is good enough. Anyways: Benchy in 37 minutes. Prints on no-overhang with 210mm/s. Thats quite good for grandpa. Got the Bambu A1 recently- Benchy in 11min 47sec. 😮 Now, Im not gonna beat that, but its impressive to build them old ender printers up so that they are at about 1/3rd of high end printers these days speedwise. Yeah the upgrades ate expensive. Even more expensive than a new Bambulab A1, but I enjoy building stuff. 😅 3D printing is worse than heroine.
How have I not come across your channel before - refreshing to find no nonsense content like this :) Also great to be able to follow/support black creators in a largely white dominated field. Big love my friend.
Thanks Dave. I appreciate the positive feedback and support. 3D printing is an awesome hobby and trade. I love presenting this technology to the world because it can be so(and is) beneficial. Thanks for being so solid, and welcome to the journey ❤️
Great video, thanks on it. In case of CR Touch on Sprite Extruder Pro Kit. Could you tell something more? How to run? Is it necessary to configure something extra? I have an old Ender 3 (the first one), I bought Sprite Extruder Pro Kit, but I don't have any idea how to run CR touch on Marlin 2. 😂🤣
I usually run Klipper when I'm going to modify a printer. You should be able to download the firmware update from Creality once you installed the CR Touch. That should add the option for a Z-offset calibration. Also, don't forget to add M140 S1 to your start gcode after G28 in your slicer. That will make your print use the bed mesh
I have the similar upgrade wit 1st E3 "v1" + mcu v4.2.7 and nebula rooted pad. What is important Sprite DD extruder + BL touch is not supported by Nebula Pad directly. When you will power up printer 1st you are thrown into wizard, after choosing E3 + BL touch you are going to several tests.... you must skip test where calibration is needed. Then go into klipper and adjust all geometry include BL touch coords.... Sprite Extruder has got BL touch coords X31 Y41... then you have to measure bed dimensions.... etc.... 2nd Z motor is connected in parallel to Z output and is working fine for me. Fine tuning is needed then it works nice... keep morors engaged when replacing filament to not move z motors accidentally. BTW nice video
I’ve only pushed the printing speeds to 175 mm/s, but my acceleration, deceleration and travel speeds are up to 6000 mm/s. I’ve completely a benchy in as little as 37 minutes. It ordered the 5015 part cooling kit to go faster, but ali express never sent it 😒
Hey there got an ender 3 pro with a sonic pad, but have now installed the sprite extruder, and having loads of issues. When homing the nozzle moves off the front of the bed by about an inch?? Have tried reinstalling as a different printer with the 4.2.2 board but still no joys As you’ve the same set up, wondered how you got yours to work?? Thanks in advance love you vids
Great video! Its a shame the double z axis kit of creality does not include the syncro belt. I'm having some issues with the x axis moving its leveling because a motor moves more than the other , its a minimal problem but you have to level the axis and the bed pretty often.
@@JeDoVi3D it’s gonna change everything…I also have solid mounts(aluminum). I run my printer under a voron profile in octoprint…u need klipper and a little accelerometer first though
I can only imagine. Klipper is already loaded. I’ll do another accelerometer test after I install the rails. I’m also in the process of looking for rails for my AnyCubic Kobra Max. If you come across anything, reach out to me.
Calling a 52 minute benchy a speed demon is kinda hilarious how wrong it is any modern printer hardware at 50% speed does less than 30 lol, avg modern would be
Hey, it was all about the journey you took to create it. No matter if you gave it away or not, nobody can take away the heart and soul you put in to create a printer that was tailor made for you!
@@JeDoVi3D Word, i now got a Mono 4k resin and looking for another filament printer, just dont to fall into the same run of changing hotends, levelssprings, plades, and more. Thx bro for a great little video. Best from Denmark and good weekend.
@@JeDoVi3D slide to limit switch,then just past the centre and stops, the Y axis doesn't return only travels one way,is this correct homing?I have seen videos showing it returning,but mine doesn't.
As long as it tapped the y and x limit switch, it homed the x and y axis. If it ends back up in the middle, that’s fine. It’s setting up for you to set the z-offset, and if you did that already, it’s preparing for manual bed leveling. And if you did that, it’s ready for you to start your print.
@@JeDoVi3D had to search around for a answer,The Z axis bracket was assembled upside down,and a video showed the correct way it should be assembled.It was a factory error ,and now it homes....
Thanks for the video man! Tight editing, good info, real world testing; doesn't get much better. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jacob. I really appreciate ❤️
gotta mention the M420 S1 Z10 code after the G28 line in the printer settings to make sure the printer is reading the leveling mesh
Thanks bud. This was just a showcase of the mods. I have a video focused on the M420 S1 and Bed_Mesh_Level load=default for klipper video. I should’ve tagged that video at the end. Thanks again!
Excellent! Dive right in, great information! The lack of a 20-minute click bate discussion and getting to the point? Master Class!

Yea, all the companies are coming out with these exciting new and fast printers. My old printers are just getting some restoration love from me lol
Yeah, true. I've subscribed to see where this build goes. All the best mate
Superb video 👍🏻
Solid guide! Subscribed.
Welcome to the Journey. Thank you so much!! ❤️
For your next upgrade, look into Voron Switchwire, I'm currently in the middle of converting my CR-10, since I had already did a linear rail conversion a few years ago.
Wow. That’s going to be awesome! It’s a bit bigger than the build plate size that comes with the Switchwire kit, right?
Got mine the sprite, new heatbed, fresh motors, dual and belt driven z axis, linear rails on all axes, and Im using a pei buildplate. I even printed a 20mm extrusion for the linear rail of the y-axis to fit onto it.

I'm torn between sprucing up my old Ender 3 or repurposing the stepper motors etc for Arduino projects.
great topic, thanks 👍

Can you do a video showing creality cloud printing from sonic pad?
Absolutely. I’ll show how to print from the sonic pad and from the cloud on your phone or tablet
@@JeDoVi3D Thanks
you should do a build video for the Ender 3 NG from printables.
This would be a great idea to go live with. Let me do my homework and I’ll announce the live in an upcoming video. Thanks for the info John!

Hey! That’s similar to my setup! What is the fastest you have pushed it?
I’ve only pushed the printing speeds to 175 mm/s, but my acceleration, deceleration and travel speeds are up to 6000 mm/s. I’ve completely a benchy in as little as 37 minutes. It ordered the 5015 part cooling kit to go faster, but ali express never sent it 😒

Hello Chris. Send me a email and I'll send you my Klipper CFG file - jedovi3d@gmail.com
Great video! Its a shame the double z axis kit of creality does not include the syncro belt. I'm having some issues with the x axis moving its leveling because a motor moves more than the other , its a minimal problem but you have to level the axis and the bed pretty often.
I had the same issue. I had to replace the board with an updated 4.2.7 MCU. That synchronized the z stepper motors better
Love the content :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! ❤️
I know you already made this video but I think you'll be suprised if you install a BLV rails kit and use something like Klipperscreen on it.
It’s so funny you said that. I just ordered one this morning! 😀❤️

It was always trash. You just didn't know it at the time.
Throwing good money after bad now is... Ill-advised.
Mine refuses to autohome,it's complete junk
What is it doing when you start the process?
