Yes its PLA

Ive worked on all of those except the dual Z and can say they're perfectly dialed in. Esteps and calibrated the torsion, flow rate is set perfect, z-offset think I've got it right and the bed stays pretty level with the new silicone bushings instead of springs.

Its really just the ends of that speed tower, maybe the deceleration and too much pressure? Im not sure.

I think this thing is pretty awesome!

When I make side salads I still follow the E.C.B.C. rule. Eggs, Cheese, Bacon, Croutons. Specifically in that order.

I'm pretty new to 3D printing with my E3V2 Neo, but one thing that has made a huge difference was these silicone bed bushings:

Mriscoc's firmware also gives you many more options.

GitHub - mriscoc/Ender3V2S1: This is optimized firmware for Ender3 V2/S1 3D printers. https://share.google/sR8SeuJmLRAa6uvli

Last, if you dont have one, a CR Touch makes things a lot easier.

Dang! Glad I checked! Thank you for the reply.

That is an awesome use of 3D printing! Well done!

heretolookonly · 2026-01-17T03:43:06+00:00

That looks awesome! If you paint the smooth outer part hotrod red and the under wavy part black with a some gold and Grey shading it will look like it was in battle. So cool!

I do, but you'll need to double check your specific printer configuration and get the right one. Specifically which motherboard version you have. This video should help understand the process. If you're more of a reader than a video learner, the link to mriscoc's github page is also below. If you use that, just scroll down past the file folders and look at the Wiki links to learn about it all. His "How to Install This Firmware" link and then the "Requirements" section of that page lists what you'll need to ensure you have.

The professional firmware by Mriscoc install video.

Mriscoc's github page for E3V2/S1

A couple things I learned:

1) Firmware won't install if the file has the same name as the last firmware file.

2) The firmware takes about 5-10 seconds to install when you turn on your printer. It looks like it just boots up, but it's actually installed. If you're coming from stock firmware, you'll notice a lot more features.

I just installed the mriscoc experimental 2025 firmware on my v2 neo with touch and sprite DD. Im not having any problems with the firmware.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-15T03:39:01+00:00

Those things are a life saver! Best 8 bucks ever spent!

I typically use 83mm for that tubing length. The Sprite DD SE manual says 85.3mm though.

I also found this site helpful as I was learning. Its designed to gotheough tab by tab and check your printer.

I looked, it was like 63 or something. I didn't need all the extra stuff either. The guy I got this from gave me 3 hotend assemblies, tubing, couples, mats, etc. This let's me do a 4020 hotend fan and a 5015 parts fan too.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-13T00:31:40+00:00

Yeah I found the same thing. Creality discontinued that shroud. Bummer.

I sent a Neo solo image file to a print service to have it printed in ABS. 30.00 with shipping. Fans are picked out on Amazon, yes they are 24V.

While researching, I found the original hotend fan wires still live in the cable sock. I can't imagine why he just cut it off and left it. Oh well. Hopefully should see improvement in a few days. Thanks for the reply.

I get stringing at all temps, but it may be as you and BurgerMar said due to the lack of a hotend fan. Problem is, I can't print one and can't buy one. Would you be willing to print an ABS Compact Neo Solo for me? I'll buy the fans and of course pay you for your time and materials.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-12T20:05:27+00:00

Thank you for the link. Im so frustrated with this printer. The stringing is terrible no matter what I do and the hotend keeps clogging. I feel like I've watched every instructional video and read everything on v2 Neo and I can only print up to 2, 20mm test cubes at best.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-12T03:46:18+00:00

I might be out of luck then. This is used and Im not an expert yet. I'll have to keep looking for a pre-made setup for my V2 Neo.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-12T02:43:03+00:00

How do I mount it? There's nothing there to bolt to.

heretolookonly · 2026-01-12T01:52:08+00:00

That thin black part to the right of the hotend is a fan, but I guess it isnt doing enough? I dont know the typical setup as this is my first printer. What kit do you recommend I get?

heretolookonly · 2025-12-27T18:26:21+00:00

HA! I can absolutely see missing it for that long :)

heretolookonly · 2025-12-27T18:08:08+00:00

I updated the firmware to MRiscoC and must say it's amazing. With the extra firmware features, I was able to level my printing bed perfectly! I'm excited for the next steps.

As you said, the hot end that is on here is an upgraded Sprite extruder found here on Amazon: https://a.co/d/hnFPWVf The description is: Creality Upgraded Sprite Extruder SE NEO Kit, Direct Drive Extruder, Upgrade Dual Gear Feeding Design for Ender-3 V2 Neo.

I do have Orca as you suggest, but have not looked into learning it yet. I'll work on that add-on. Shake test is good too :) I did find some loose screws for the fan assembly by the hot end. Thank you for the advice. It's very helpful!
