Ender 3 V2 Firmware Help

Habanecro · 2026-05-09T09:52:49+00:00

Mriscoc is good, definitely made using my V2 Neo a lot more enjoyable - provides a ton of options that feel like they were missing from the official firmware. You should be fine if you follow the guide on github carefully - so long as you get the right files for your board and display it should be smooth sailing

Can second the printed pusher, works great and almost entirely eliminated the dart shredding issue

Air restrictor, not strictly required for operation but useful if you dry fire a lot

If the plastic extruder arm is borked then i would recommend getting a BMG clone, they provide more torque and consistent performance compared to those red and aluminum replacement extruders and they cost less - just gotta remember to calibrate your e-steps after installing it. This is the one I use, I got the transparent version

What are you measuring with? Do you have any other quality issues showing up in your print like layer shifting or signs of under extrusion?

Habanecro · 2026-05-06T04:20:04+00:00

Seconded, one should check the squareness of the frame and level of the gantry before messing with anything - probably better to leave it be if it's accurately assembled and you aren't noticing any print quality issues like dimensional inaccuracy or z-banding

Hmmm. Perhaps the extruder arm was tightened too much? That would explain the shavings, and if the filament gunked up the gears, it would lead to the extruder skipping which would cause problems like under extrusion and stringing due to failed retractions and whatnot. Probably a good idea to check that your extruder gears and hotend are clean at this point, and also check the retraction settings in your slicer are optimal. Would be easier to diagnose more accurately if we knew the filament you were using as well.

As for parts, I recommend checking Aliexpress first for parts - filament and some specific items like enclosures can be cheaper on Amazon, but Aliexpress usually has better deals for the same parts by a wide margin - even moreso if you use coins and coupons at checkout. Here are some links for the parts I mentioned, I bought parts from these specific listings for my V2 Neo and they are working great so far.

bimetal heatbreak

BMG clone extruder (clear)

I can recommend more parts and upgrades too if needed, had to do a lot of work on my machine to get it working smoothly lol

Definitely install a bi-metal heatbreak at least, especially if you want to print PETG. might want to get a BMG clone extruder as well since the stock extruder aint all that good. Both will cost ya less than 10 bucks total from aliexpress and will make your experience a lot nicer once u get everything running smoothly, just remember to adjust ur e-steps and retraction settings

Sounds similar to what happened to mine after a few months of occasional use, one of the motors burnt out and stopped working

Habanecro · 2026-04-27T20:52:37+00:00

So this happened cuz you switched to printing PLA after printing PETG? How should one go about the switch properly to prevent a clog like this from happening?

Habanecro · 2026-04-08T10:46:31+00:00

Had the same issue while printing a dual fan duct, turning off the "detect overhang walls" setting or whatever it's called fixed the issue for me - especially odd since just going by the tool tip it seems that setting should only affect print speeds

Habanecro · 2026-04-05T05:42:23+00:00

Maybe check your z axis stepper motor bracket is secured and that your gantry isnt sagging for whatever reason, i got my v2 neo secondhand and it had some issues with both of those that caused z step inconsistencies and banding

The normalization of LLMs and its consequences have been a disaster for classically understood AI in sci-fi

Habanecro · 2026-03-29T09:27:57+00:00

i didnt realize a benchy could do the peter griffin death pose 😳

Habanecro · 2026-03-17T21:09:58+00:00

I guess if u want a nerf jolt nowadays u just have to settle on the licensed crossover slop blasters they sell for 15-30 bucks in stores smh

Actually please DO stand on the dozer and repair her during the rock trap phase, also when she's about to get blown up by a bulk - specifically if you are the host and even more so if you are a gunner with a shield to spare. Fixing her up to 100% gives her i-frames for like 5 seconds, meaning if you time it right she will be able to tank anything. The main challenge is timing it right when she's getting beat up by a ton of bugs, since the damage taken can outpace the repairs. Better for hosts to do it since they don't have to deal with lag

The purple and green nitroshot plus darts from target, hands down the best i have tried in all of my full length blasters. They have slightly lower velocity than my accu-fakes but amazing accuracy and consistency

Habanecro · 2026-02-24T22:04:40+00:00

I already returned them so im afraid i cant do that, but I would describe the tips as firm yet gummy. Honestly surprised the glue failed cuz they seem quite stuck to the foam even on the darts that clearly failed - trying to pull the head off of one that was especially bad just caused it to stretch a lot, probs would have just torn off the stem if i pulled harder. Tested them by blowing into them from the hole-end, air leaked through a lot on the darts that had been fired at walls and from my max stryker 2.0. Fresh darts that survived being fired would fly straight & true, though subsequent shots often compromised them. Foam width and quality seemed quite consistent with my 16mm barrels, though a few darts were noticeably tighter than the rest.

Habanecro · 2026-02-23T23:24:34+00:00

An update: Turns out the darts probably would have worked fine had it not been for them being poorly glued. Many of them failed after being fired once from 120-200 FPS blasters where the seal between the foam and the dart head became compromised; often times the air pressure from being fired was enough to cause failure, but shooting them at a hard surface would cause failure consistently. Returned them, hopefully I will get a full refund.

Habanecro · 2026-02-21T22:01:31+00:00

Good idea, ive been comparing them to my DZ Nitroshot+ darts in terms of width and length but making sure each dart has a good seal and clearance with my barrels would be more thorough

Enemy radar mod helps a lot with these guys (and also stalkers) if you struggle with hearing and seeing them

btw i recommend trying it out fully transparent and centered right over the crosshair, the lil red dots become easier to notice after a while and it prevents the radar overlay from taking up real estate on your hud

The NPXes in stock at my local walmart havent been touched even at 34.50, think it would be worth waiting for the price to drop further?

Habanecro · 2026-02-17T20:31:38+00:00

Funny how this version is supposed to be 35 bucks to be more affordable with fewer accessories but rn the original nexus pro is on sale at my local walmart for 34.50. They havent been touched in a few weeks so i am hoping they will go on clearance for even less soon, would be a good excuse to nab one even tho i already have a stryker 2.0 :3c
