About this deal
TheMeanWell LRS-3500-25 PSUis the correct 24V MeanWell power supply for the Ender 3, and this upgrade takes about 20 minutes to perform, excluding PSU housing print time. đThe Ender 3 Pro already ships with this upgrade. Depending on what Ender 3 version you have, youâll need to make sure you have all the right gear to get started. But if youâre looking to expand your Ender 3âs functionality with hardware upgradesâ such as automatic bed leveling, thermal runaway protection, and PID tuning â youâll need to install more specialized firmware. To do this, go to the âSettingsâ menu and select âPrinter Settingsâ. In the âPrinter Settingsâ menu, select the âEnder 3â option.
The different models within the Ender 3 series mean that there is enough variety to cater to a range of 3D printing needs. Given the price points, it is more than likely that these printers will be favorites of hobbyists or perhaps small business owners. Itâs a lightweight and responsive interface to tame and shape the firmware to your needs. If youâve never dabbled in similar projects, we highly recommend more beginner-friendly options such as TH3D Unified firmware or Crealityâs official Ender 3 firmware. If you want to integrate an SBC for OctoPrint functionality or remote monitoring, then a single-board computer upgrade is a relatively easy one. Though there are other options out there, the Raspberry Pi stands as the optimal choice, offering flexibility at a competitive price. Raspberry Pi
Product Reviews
The hot end and tubing arenât fit to handle the highest temperature nor the abrasive nature of rougher materials.
It's compatible with multiple filaments, such as PLA, ABS, PVA, Wood, TPU, PETG, and PA, providing more possibilities for creation. 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 itâs supported directly by Creality, installing the BLTouchis a fairly easy process, even for 3D printing novices. What is BLTouch?
Freshening up your firmware regularly not only grants access to the latest version and the latest features but can be a potent way to squash any bugs or issues your Ender 3 may be coughing up.
A retooled and customized version of Cura, Creality Slicer is, to no oneâs surprise, Crealityâs in-house developed slicer. Users consider installing Jyers on the Ender 3 really easy as one user stated that it took him less time to install it than to watch a video about it. Crealityâs crowning glory, and their most popular line, is the Ender 3 series of FDM 3D printers. The original was a runaway success, and with the Ender 3 Pro, V2, and Max now available, we compare the differences and make our recommendations. Ender 3 Creality Basic Laser Engraver Upgrade is one of the best options for most users, as itâs easy to install, and designed specifically for Ender 3 printers. It attaches directly to the printer, and can engrave plastic, paper, acrylic, ceramic and wood. Similarly, the Ender 3 V2 outstrips its sister models in terms of its user interface. The introduction of the new 4.9-inch color screen makes operating the printer much easier. There is also something to be said for the more modern-looking casing for the screen as well. Value for MoneyThe open-source community for the Ender 3 is huge, and thereâs no shortage of people out there with cool ideas on how to modify and upgrade Ender 3 printers with laser engravers, improved frame guards, and even advanced touchscreens. Itâs a standalone box that takes care of the color/material swapping for you, feeding them as and when the print requires it into the Ender 3, which prints as normal. The Palette 3 uses up to eight filament strands and combines them into a single strand of filament thatâs then fed into the printer, automatically switching based on the multi-color model you send it. It also has a versatile extruder that makes it more reliable for 3D printing flexible filaments, a common issue for cheap 3D printers. On top of this, the industrial-grade circuit board allows the Ender 3 to print continuously for over 200 hours without issue.
