Official Creality Ender 3 V2 3D Printer with 32 Bit Silent Board Carborundum Glass Platform Integrated Structure Design and Resume Printing, 3D Printer for Beginner, 220x220x250mm

Product Information

For instance, Cura only supports USB printers that follow the RepRap/Marlin G-code protocol . If your printer uses a different firmware, the software will not recognize the printer. However, you should be able to see the printer in your computer’s Device Manager. Creality includes its own 3D printing software, Creality Slicer, on an SD card that is included with the printer. It is very similar to the Cura open-source software that is widely used in 3D printing. I used both Creality Slicer and Cura in preparing files for printing on the Ender-3 V2, and I found both easy to use. The Ender-3 V2 is not included in Cura's pull-down menu of supported printers, but it worked fine when I chose a different Creality model, the Ender-3 Pro. For the first print, I attempted one of the test prints included on the memory card. I used a third-party PLA filament; the print came out brittle and poorly cohesive. I tried again, this time using Ender filament, but try as I could, I couldn't get it to extrude. I expected that the extruder might be clogged, so I preheated the extruder to PLA melting temperature and took the long, very thin needle that Creality includes with the printer and poked it into the nozzle a few times. This cleared out the problem, and from then on the V2 extruded normally. In retrospect, I suspect the problem wasn't with the filament, but that the nozzle was set a little too close to the print bed, touching it in places so that filament wouldn't come out and causing the clog.

The Ender-3 V2 is very similar in design to the Prusa i3 series and is said to have been loosely modeled on it. The AnyCubic Vyper, which has a build area of 10.2 by 9.6 by 9.6 inches, also bears a similar design. The printer's base holds the power supply and supports the carriage on which the build platform can move in and out. The base has a slot for a microSD card, as well as a micro-USB port. A compatible control board: Creality 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.7, V24S1_301 or SKR Mini E3 V3 for Ender series printers with a STM32F103 or STM32F401 SoC. This was due to the positioning of the cooling fans above the build area. Once the Ender 3 Pro moved the fans underneath, these difficulties were eliminated and the later editions followed suit. DesignThe standard Ender 3 is the best value for money. It is hard-wearing, versatile, reliable, easy to operate, and, perhaps most important, incredibly cheap. There are few models better in the 3D printing world for giving accessibility for those interested in the craft.

We do not provide basic support on compiling the source code, please refer to the many places on the web for how to compile the Marlin firmware. Custom firmware can be build using the Configurator and following the guidelines in the Special Configurations repository:With a BLTouch kit specifically for the Ender 3, Ender 3 V2 or Ender 3 Pro, you can have a perfectly level print each time without having to manually level the bed. Because it’s supported directly by Creality, installing the BLTouchis a fairly easy process, even for 3D printing novices. What is BLTouch? A heated printer bed helps with allowing the material to adhere to the baseplate and provides a stable platform for construction.

Binaries with UBL in their filename have support for Marlin Unified Bed Leveling, this system is similar to the bilinear leveling but with a few extra features to provide users with more control. There are multiple guides on the web about UBL, we recommend reading about it before using this new leveling system. There are several special configurations here: https://github.com/mriscoc/Special_Configurations/releases A controlling software might not be needed if you only want to update your product’s firmware. However, you have to install one if you want to print directly from your PC. Your bed springs might seem like an insignificant part of your 3D printer, but they’re actually quite important to bed leveling and stability.Before you print anything else, print this mod.The location of the mainboard fan is directly beneath the build plate, meaning bits of filament can fall in and damage the fan or board. The model is available on Thingiverse. Filament guide
