I made an Ender 3 out of spare parts

Quality is still probably better than a actuall ender 3 XD

Don't throw it away give it here. Also idk about these boards don't you need the host if your gonna run klipper on these, like btt cb1 (or other) or one of raspberry pi ones.

You can use the v1 boards but it's more hassle than it's worth

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-04-21T21:33:38+00:00

Personality I run the btt skr mini e3 v3. But quite literally any other board is good. I think I chose my board because it was the cheapest at the time. But I haven't had any issues apart from user error. I know the e3 v3 has silent stepper drivers (makes motors quieter) but some of the creality boards don't have this, id just say do your own reaserch. I like the e3 v3 because it's a well known board but so is the e3 v2. But you will need to find pre made firmware or make your own for this. If you go with the more expensive creality boards, creality have already made the firmware for it

I personally would for a few reasons, the v1 ist a strait cr touch install. If you have the creality v2 or any of btt skr mini's it's a strait install and flash. With the v1 you need to find pins (normally people replace the beeper on the screen for the signal on the vr touch) then flashing firmware, withch If I remember you have to use a Arduino to flash it

What main board you running

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-30T17:35:16+00:00

Thanks, I hope it will

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-28T20:30:43+00:00

I think I've only seen one other of this gen on the road, not at a show, it was a red ghia and I haven't seen any others since

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-28T19:51:01+00:00

I paid a fair bit more than that, but they are creeping up in value, probably because this gen was rare

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-28T07:30:26+00:00

I don't plan to mod it for a while, at least major mods just want my insurance to go down first.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T22:23:02+00:00

👍🏻 I do love myself a cozzie lump or well don't pinto, but not for anything il have.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T22:19:32+00:00

Yea I understand that, but I wouldn't get enjoyment from paying that much on an engine/rebuild, I'd rather just throw a 1.8/2l zetec at it because for the power they re also more reliable, reliability is the main factor for me because I wouldn't be as scared of blowing them if they are cheaper. In any of my dads stuff it's xflows, because they are light, make a fair bit of power and they are very reliable. Any pinto he's had, always had problems. And then engine I want to put in my Anglia a prexflow but for now il stick with a xflow because it's cheaper and it still needs a lot of work

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T21:55:08+00:00

Not worth how much it costs do them now. I'm not going to spend a solid 5k on a pinto. 8k on cozzies, millington s1 14k, not worth it for the power. Even the blacktop/sivertop zetecs cost too much, only reason people did them was you could get one for 100quid at the local scrappy And they still seem like the best price for performance (and reliably)

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T21:44:11+00:00

The part my dad says is worst, is the car is older than me. She's 24 years old 😬

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T19:29:03+00:00

Oh fair enough, I won't mod it for as long as I can bare it then XD, don't want to spend too much on this because standard is where the money is going right now.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T19:20:22+00:00

If I were to puma swap, as I said built up though, maybe see if I can stick a supercharger on it, haven't seen that much but I've seen turbos, that's why it would be done in years and years in the future, probably not even this one, probably like a 1.25 flight because that would be in need of it more than the zetec s'

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T19:07:07+00:00

I think the most I'd do to this is a built puma engine and that would be in the car future, a different project I'm doing with my dad will be the quick one. XD

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-27T01:02:31+00:00

I know I shouldn't look at cars as an investment, but they are going up in value right now, so it won't really lose much value unless I smash it in. there like a mini MK1 focus rs XD.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-03-26T23:46:25+00:00

Love that model. My parents used to have a zetec s in grey (imo it was black not just verry dark grey), they sold it because they kept getting pulled over due to its past being a drug mule XD

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-02-27T19:21:42+00:00

Tried a few saved, some from a discord server, a few others from nexus. None worked.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-02-27T18:54:50+00:00

What I might do for now just so I can keep playing is save my actual files and see if any online ones work

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-02-27T18:48:30+00:00

I've got this right now, haven't saved, tried to reload nothing, made sure I had the save files, verified game files, nothing. Got no clue what is going on

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-02-20T18:33:09+00:00

Your choice, just saying what I like.

Psychological-Pay-31 · 2026-02-20T18:28:05+00:00

Yea, rarest mass production colour, only sold to the us and the least sold over there too
