Welcome to the Z3D Print. Hopefully have here a updated version of the Ender 3 with the changes that Creality has made over the last couple months. If I do, we're going to build it. Alrighty, this is the updated Ender 3. It has all the changes that Creality has made to the printer thus far. So, we have the beefed up Y-axis. We have the new electronic brainboard inside. I'll post a better picture later, but it's a new smaller board. It actually takes up less space inside the box here, so that is the updated electronics. It has the ABS molded cover for the power supply instead of the printed one. And it has the new 2x2 wheel arrangement for the bed. Although that does create a problem, I've discovered that one of my viewers showed me this. You'll notice the gap here between this stepper and this brace that's on frame the Y-carriage is pretty tight. So when you put the stepper dampers on this, you can't. It hits the frame here. So now the printer can't go back for enough to hit the end stop. So the solution to that is I'm just going to take a Dremel and take out a little nick out of the Y-carriage plate right there to make the gap I need. But that's something I guess they'd had an anticipated. There's plenty of gap there from the factory, but not enough once you add these stepper dampers. So that'll be an update video coming later for that. Otherwise, very pleased. Alrighty, the first goodie bag had the pitiful sample of filament. I really wish they'd go back to that little spool filament. It's really nice. Your Y-axis, attention pulling, your Z-limit switch, your memory card, which has a different memory card. It looks like a Lexar card. Oh, it's not. They're copying Lexar, but it's a netac. Whatever that is. It's an 8GB card. I do like these little readers. They appear to be a lot more reliable than the original. These here, 8 out of 10 are bad. But these appear to be reliable so far. And of course, your little acupuncture needle for cleaning out your nozzle. Alrighty, your tool bag is inside. Your nippers are inside. This is in the next goodie bag that comes with the printer. Some zip ties. And then this bag contains your endcaps, your nuts and bolts, some extra nuts and bolts, and your belt for your X-axis. And the nippers come in a little box now, so it keeps you from digging into stuff inside the packaging. Which is nice. So we are now going to begin assembly. The first thing I'm going to do is put on a vertical gantry, and we're going to verify whether they've corrected, whether these gantry are perpendicular and the proper distance apart. We'll see if they've fixed that. Alrighty, the verticals are installed, and they are now straight. One flaw on this printer that still exists, sadly, is the right hand vertical is not straight. It is cocked out a tiny bit. So three or four millimeters farther away at the top and at the bottom. And that's because the end of the beam for whatever reason is not cut straight. I'm not sure why that's happening at the factory. Solution is very simple though. I don't use the washers that come with the long bolts that hold the primaries on. So I just stick to the washers underneath the right hand side right there, and then tighten it down. And now it's perfect. The exact right distance across. So we're at the verticals are installed. The washers actually pushed me a little bit past vertical, but that's okay, because when I put the top two bolts in and force this out a little bit, the distance is perfect. As long as the distance between these two verticals is exactly the same, you're good. If you don't have a ruler, I just literally put this here like this to go sharp and marked it, and then I put it up here. And as long as you get the exact same distance with the top race installed, you're good. When you install this, two bolts holding it on don't use the washers. These are hardened. You can put a lot of force on them, just don't strip them. But make sure this is fully inserted. And you want to crank these down tight. These two bolts need to be very tight. Just be careful not to strip it. Alrighty, the next issue you have to worry about when you install your X-axis is make sure this is not tight. This should move up and down very freely. And also very important is to make sure that these are straight. It's very easy to install these with a twist. If they have a twist, this plate won't line up with this arm. So just loosen the bolts on the bottom and give them the necessary twist to line them up. Alright, the vertical gantry are installed and the X-axis, trawls are installed and we are ready to go with that. The way to tell that this is installed correctly, actually you should check this with the top installed. But you put your finger on the coupler back here and you rotate the coupler back and forth like this. And you see the printer moves up and down. As it's moving up and down, pay attention to that side. If that side lags behind this side, instead of doing this, if it does this, that's too tight. You need to loosen that. But do this with the top installed. Okay? So you rotate this back and forth and make sure that the both sides move together. If they move together freely, you're good. If they don't move together freely, you'll never get to bed level. The bed level will change every time you print. Alright, top braces installed. I verified this moves nice and freely with no shifting back and forth as this moves up and down. This moves nice and freely. Mine was actually too tight. I had to loosen it. I installed the screen. I'm not going to check the wheel tightness on the bed and see how that goes. X-Belt is installed. I suggest installing the belt before you install the tensioner. It's a lot easier because you have plenty of slack. You just pop right in. Make sure the belt is on top of these nubs coming down and not the other way around. Because otherwise you're changing the pull angle on the belt. You don't want that. Then you install that. Make sure those hair and nuts turn. Those hair and nuts don't turn. That will loosen over time. Alrighty, we are finished assembly. All the motors are plugged in. Everything moves as it should. Cap the bone tube is installed. I still have to of course adjust the bed and the Z-axis limit switch, which we will play with next. We're ready for first power up and bed leveling. So I figured we do the plastic porn. Here we go. Oh yeah! There's the plastic for you guys. Here you go. There is the Marvin. Absolutely beautiful print that is truly a phenomenal print. And then I printed 3D printing professors Lowe Polydino. Another excellent print. I didn't even optimize this. And then I said, let's go. 1.2 millimeter Niles, like 0.8 millimeter layer height, on the end of 3. And it turned out beautifully. Beautiful. You can see little perturbations because I was running it a little faster than it was comfortable with at 1.2 millimeters. But beautiful. Look at the size of them layers. Yeah. So now I am using the Xyru shining black. Kind of like a poor man's filament and vertical galaxy with a little more bling, a little less glass. Not quite as smooth as a vertical galaxy. So here that's got nice fine sparkles. Well this is big chunky sparkles. But again, it's going to be a carabiner at 1.2 millimeter layer height on the new end of 3. As a recap, reinforced better quality, tensioner, idler pulley, upgraded electronics. No smoother is needed. The print quality is absolutely phenomenal. Not one little shred of salmon skin. Absolutely beautiful. ABS cover on the back there and the wheels, the 2x2 arrangement instead of the tilted rhombus arrangement. They fix pretty much everything. I did still have to adjust the vertical gantry. It was tilted. So two washers underneath the corner. And that was enough to take care of that. Otherwise, beautiful. I am very, very pleased. You guys have a great day. My Patreon and PayPal links are down below. Links for the printer are down below. This is still in my opinion the absolute best bang for the buck you can get in 3D printing. You can't buy more printer for that price. Anywhere else. It really is pretty impressive. That's going to be a big shake up in the 3D printer market when this thing really takes off. So that'll be interesting to see how the other manufacturers respond. You guys have a great night. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching.
