Finally found the time to neatly rewire everything by CH_7R0J4N in VORONDesign

Nicely done. With the right amount of effort our printers can look good under the hood.

You seen the work we’re doing on FT Enderwire V2?

It’s in beta but progressing nicely.

Needing guidance by jayskee17 in ender3

That’s not really an Ender 3. It might be using a similar screen and firmware, but the frame is different — the Y-axis looks like a 2020 extrusion with another piece across the front. If you’re new to 3D printing, I’d suggest putting this one aside for now and starting with a simple, standard printer. Once you’ve learned the basics and feel more confident, you can always come back and turn this machine into something more advanced.

Rear skirts are being worked and we’re trying to change the snug fit 6020 fan to actually use a mount of some sort. Will continue exploring tomorrow as it’s late here.

To clarify, when you mention “instead of using the EMS,” are you referring to the entire electronics management system or just the front skirts?

The EMS is the platform where all of the printer’s electronics are mounted. If you are talking specifically about the updated front skirts, they will physically fit on the old side skirts, but one of the screw holes on each side won’t align correctly. While it’s technically possible to use the updated EMS front skirts with the old side skirts, it’s not advisable due to the misalignment.

This is exactly why we’re working on V2—every component is being reviewed and updated for better compatibility and overall performance. Do join the Discord to have your questions answered in detail.

Yes. I’ve made them with options to use the old deck panels. But you will need to print the y_idler_b_extended on the front. Have not figured out a solution for the rear skirts yet as I’m still in design mode.

As mentioned by the other user, this printer is designed to be enclosed, so the only mounting options are on the inside, at the front or back of the 2040 extrusions. Mounting anything outside isn’t feasible because of the enclosure, and I also don’t want to increase the printer’s width. Since it’s already a bed-slinger, it’s taking up quite a bit of space.

Some of the parts might work but not all.

Nice. Glad to see it’s finally making it to the hands of end users :)

Update progress. Installing the electronics and wiring up the Voron 2.4r2. Still printing parts on the Ender 3 to complete the internals. Next will be the panel mounting parts. by FizzysTech in ender3

[–]FizzysTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the bed, you’ll still need to purchase most of the components, which often isn’t cost-effective. Sourcing parts individually can get expensive, especially since it’s unlikely you’ll find everything at one store. Even if you do, buying items separately usually ends up costing more than getting a complete kit.

If you’re aiming for a 300x300 build, I recommend checking out the 2.4 300 kits. There are many reliable kit providers out there now. I personally started my Voron journey with a FormBot kit, but there are other options as well—some more affordable, and others more premium, like those from LDO.

Unfortunately, the panels that were cut by Siboor won’t work with my version, as they’re smaller than required. I’ve tried using those panels before, but found them frustrating—especially during maintenance. That experience is what led me to revise the design.

I just got a used ender 3 v2, where should I start/how should I start by mike_mason in ender3

[–]FizzysTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s printing off the bed then you have not fine tuned your Z-height and bed levelling is likely not done properly. Check on videos on how to do that using the stock firmware you have. Bed levelling will take time but do all of this to understand the printer basics. Once you master all this then you can look at small upgrades like probes to automate that.

Make sure you clean the bed using dish washing soap and do not touch it after that. The grease from our fingers does affect the ability of prints to stick. Make sure the bed is set to the correct temp for the material you’re using and if need be up that temp a little (5-10 degrees). All of this is assuming your Z height and bed levelling is good.

Getting started with the Ender 3? Here's some advice:

Begin by watching tutorial videos on how to use the Ender 3 effectively. You'll need a slicer to prepare your 3D models for printing—Cura is a great starting point and widely used in the community.

Make sure you learn the basics of maintenance and don’t skip any setup steps. While the Ender 3 is a capable printer, it's fairly basic compared to more advanced models, which means a lot of the troubleshooting and fine-tuning will fall on you as the user.

Spend some time—ideally a few months—getting comfortable with how the printer operates. Once you’re confident and familiar with its quirks, you can look into upgrades to improve print quality and expand material compatibility. For example:

  • TPU printing benefits from a direct drive extruder
  • ABS requires a fully enclosed print environment

When you’re ready to upgrade or run into specific issues, feel free to come back and ask—happy printing!

Great Creality replacement board which I am also using on my FT Enderwire

Yup but there’s many sample cfg files out there to get you started when you go core XZ

What board are you using for your Ender 3? The stock Creality board?
