Congrats on the 1k, I was already impressed with that when I caught glimpses over my shoulder at RMRRF, but to find out it was such a short development time frame makes it all the more impressive.
Looking forward to more videos about the details of this kit! The concept is quite appealing, but I'd be hesitant to pre-order without knowing in detail exactly what I'm purchasing.
Just put my preorder in. I’ve already swapped my board out to a Manta E3EZ and will be putting a Stealthburner tool head on shortly. So this will be a perfect upgrade to really take my printer to its ultimate form. At that point, it won’t even really be an Ender anymore.
Tell him to sell another kit that comes with longer extrusions as well as a larger bed. If he Can do that within 100$ additional cost he would be selling a lot of kits to people that want a bambulab x1, But only has ender3 money and a workshop.
ive actually got one and put one together thanks to you. but i had a question about it. have you had any issues with your bed wobbling when the z's are going up and down, it is making the nozzle to high on one end and almost digging into my bed on the other end
Actually I have not used this printer since I did this review other than for a few small TPU prints so I cannot say if there has been issues like you describe that have developed. I have not had any issues with the one I have for what I have been using it for but you have to understand, I have the very first prototype machine, the parts were not mass produced, they were made one off for this machine only as a prototype/proof of concept.
I think that anyone who buys this kit will have already upgraded their hotend and extruder (to DD), ABL, etc, or would want to do that with this kit. Each of them are likely to have their own preferences to what those components should be. A great complement kit would be the Hero Me Gen7 printhead platform that supports 46 different hotends, 34 extruders, 34 part cooling fan options, 16 ABLs, 10 accelerometers, and more. Very modular and easy to assemble, and provides excellent part cooling!. All that is needed to make this possible for this printer is a STEP or STL of the X carriage that is used (if not the stock Ender 3) so I can create a Gantry Adapter to mount the Hero Me printhead assembly to this great kit.
hey so I got the kit due to your videos and I am running into some issues where the movements are reversed and I used the skr mini e3 files they had on site but I can't get it fixed, do you have any suggestions?
this is a weird one, don't get me wrong it's a really cool concept. but pricing a upgrade kit at almost 3 times the printer price, is a hard sell. especially with competition like the switchwire, and at that price ender3 and the upgrade kit you could almost get yourself a quality voron 0.2 kit.
Bigger printbed still, but I guess the main appeal is that you get to tinker and don't have to ditch your old Ender 3. Also, Switchwire isn't core XY. I agree with you though, I'd rather leave the Ender 3 at it and have 2 printers instead than spending 250$ on a kit.
Everything in purple on the machine are custom CNC parts so I don't know that any kind of self sourcing would be possible. The company ships world-wide direct from China though.
I'm not sure I get why its better than the bed slinger. I generally hate my ender 3 since you can't get it to work after you dust it off, it always takes hours or days tweaking to get it right. And the bed leveling is a big part of it. So if the bed now moves up and down does it fix anything? I was working on building a big delta printer, but that project got put in boxes, I'm thinking of getting back to it as I need a bigger build space...so I ordered some extrusions to make my ender 3 bigger as that seems easier than finishing my delta project. I really don't like waiting hours for prints, the longer it takes, the more likely it fails, so faster is better, the reason to build the delta.
Redesign so almost everything purple can be 3D printed out of petg or abs. Change the back extrusion to use the Y rail or somethingand the lineal rails so I can ose the rolling wheels I already own... and than make it open source. Than it is and upgrade or modification. In my opinion at least. We have switchwire and belted Z mod and all sort of thing... But I mean good luck. Some might like it as a project 😁
So basically you want nothing that this kit has... It seems like you want a coreXY mod that will cost you next to nothing, designed for free by other people. Maybe you could link to all the free and open source stuff you designed and spend months working on ?
I am not affiliated with the manufacturer in any way other than creating content for items they manufacturer and sell. If you have a beef with the pricing, you can contact the manufacturer and discuss it with them.
Conversion kits have already been invented by others. To buy an Ender 3 and a conversion kit seems like a good idea. But now that you can buy a corexy machine for $599 or $699 and get better speed and quality.
10's of 1000's Ender 3's have been converted to Dual Z lead screws, arguably one of the first and most popular upgrades to Ender 3's so I would say yes, more than enough to power dual Z's
@@EDGEOF3D yea I actually have dual z already installed on my ender 3 v2.. I was just curious because it looks like in this situation there is a lot more weight to lift up. And the two motors they supply say they have more torque, which typically means requires more power
all u would have to do is make it swing like a pendulum could u feed the filament dry and use a laser to melt It you could lay o cooler beed of filament and use a laser to cement it like tig welding . sorry if its a crazy idea but I'm gonna try it I got an second ender 3 just need a laser is there build plans for this.
That price is VERY suspect to me, can't see it being done for 300. Go price 5 cheap linear rails, that honestly don't leave much cash for the extra extrusion, the custom parts let alone a profit. If it's 300 for the basic kit (brackets) and you buy the rest then why would you spend that much on a cheap printer ? There was another CoreXY kit for Ender 3's and that company went out of business, good clue many are just not interested in a half baked CoreXY. Probably because you can only pump so much money into and Ender and still feel good about it. An Ender 5 with it's cube frame is better suited for a conversion to rails IMO but I still would go other routes that are pretty affordable. I have and Ender 3 Pro but if i wanted a CoreXY there are many far better options to go with IMO that don't have to break the bank. Also lead screws for Z, yuck! lol Z lead screw wobble has been the curse of Enders from day one. (Edit: along with their thin warped beds)
This kit is not for everyone, this was never intended/marketed for everyone. Thank you for your comment and enjoy whatever printer you decide works best for you. As for pricing, I'm 100% confident the manufacturer knows what they are doing when it comes to pricing and remaining profitable, this is not their first rodeo. As for "another CoreXY kit for Ender" that went out of business, how does that relate to this business? If it sells, the manufacturer will continue production, if it does not, this is not their only business, not even their core business. So, the market will decide, not history.
@@EDGEOF3D It guess it relates because there is a threshold at which people won't see the value in sinking so much money into a cheap printer. Diminishing returns vs investment. It don't matter if they went out of business or stopped selling the conversion kit. Just saying this path has been traveled before. The 3D printing market is rapidly changing after what Bambu Labs was able to bring to market. Sure i'ts 3 x $300 but it's one hell of a printer. Every review should have pros and cons since nothing is perfect. I'm unclear if this is a promotion or a review because I seem to have angered you. Have a good day.
@@dev-debug You haven't angered me in any way and at no point did I say this was a "review" either. It's not a "paid" promotion, in fact I paid for the Ender 3 that the manufacturer used to do this conversion. So, I did not pay for the kit but I did pay for the base printer. This is not even remotely close to being comparable to a Bambu, Prusa, K1 or any of the others. It is a great kit for someone that has a Ender 3 and likes to tinker. Say what you will, the new Bambu's and lookalikes hitting the market are not going to be the end all be all for everyone. Some people will still enjoy kits and tinkering.
it would be nice if you could just skip to the detailing on the printer, no one wanted to know on what APRIL and what YEAR bro till forever, i may sound bully but you need to take critics to get better. cheers
Thank you for your feedback, however that is the format I choose for my video's since there are others that enjoy a little back-story and timeline when it comes to the development of things. Happy Printing.

That’s pretty damndably dope, glad you got to take it home!
Congrats on the 1k subs. I am looking forward on some of the thing you print.
I like this kit, interesting to see where it goes after you get a chance to test it out completely.
Earned my sub keep up the great work brother
Thank You!
Craziest Ender 3 mod i have ever seen XD... Congrats on 1k Subs...hope to see you at MRRF

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for everything.
looks like an interesting upgrade. Hope it works out for everyone.
Just placed my preorder looking forward to the build thanks for all of your great videos
i think i may pick one up when it comes out of pre order.
I would love to see a build video
Could you do another video with closeups? really interested in this
Tell him to sell another kit that comes with longer extrusions as well as a larger bed. If he Can do that within 100$ additional cost he would be selling a lot of kits to people that want a bambulab x1, But only has ender3 money and a workshop.
Where can I find the 5015 fan duct support? Scratching my head where to find it.

@@EDGEOF3D yes I don't have issues with small prints but when I start bigger prints and have been chatting with the makers about the issue

Congrats!!! Will it be possible to get a build kit list instead if I will source parts here in the Philippines?

The company ships world-wide direct from China though.
@@EDGEOF3D Perfect. Thanks. I will be looking into this. Would there be a possibility of a taller z?
Is that $290 for the whole thing, or is that $290 for JUST the conversion kit (extrusions, rails, hardware, etc.)?
Saw you at Murfreesboro today.

I'm sorry you feel that way about your Ender 3, I have many of them and they all work every time I need them.

for $300 I think I'll just save another $100 and buy a k1 on sale.
Will this kit come with conversion instructions? Thanks
Yes it will

Can you recommend a few
yes apples and oranges are indeed different
Does the board have enough juice to drive both z stepper motors

In Dutch we say: doe toch normaal joh 😂😂
listen you put a laser on that and give it the ability to tilt you could make a 3d cnc machine lol
