Ender 3 Pro

milosrasic98

I finally bought a 3D printer, I got an Ender 3 Pro! The price was really good, I like the construction and the upgradeability. I plan on playing around with it and upgrading it, the thing like the cooling duct, tool trays, filament guides, I also plan on using one of the Raspberries I have laying around for OctoPrint. I haven't gotten yet to assembling it, so I just wanna know, are there any little things or hints I should be aware of, for the assembly, and generally for the use of the printer. I am also interested in any upgrade ideas for it, if anyone has any experience with it. I heard it would be good to replace the PTFE tube with a higher quality one.

  • If you set up OctoPrint, make absolutely sure you have a new Pi and a more-than-adequate power supply. I've never had a lot of success controlling the printer with it, especially longer prints because of power draw issues. One hiccough and your hours-long print is spaghetti. Printing from SD hasn't let me down!

    I've been using a RPi 4B for Octoprint and it works pretty good. I tried using various phone chargers for the Pi, but in the end, their official power supply was the only one that didn't give me any power draw issues. The only problem I do have from time to time is the connection since it's pretty far from my router, so I had to use a USB WiFi dongle to extend the range.
