The filament runout sensor works absolutely perfect, however after power loss recovery the printer destroys the build plate, gains consciousness and connects to the neural net via starlink, then plots to kill all humans. So that's a bit of a downside.

Thanks, Chuck! I'll give that a shot. It seemed weird that it was able to finish the layer it was working on when I turned it off, but as soon as it finished it, down it went. I think I'll try it on a tall, hollow cylinder, and let it get up around 10cm before power cycling it, so I have a better chance of cutting power if it decides to take another dive.

Interesting, my Ender 3 V2 does strange things occasionally that are seemingly related to the SD card/file naming. For instance, prints used to start at something like 500% speed and I believe I narrowed the issue down to the way files were named (omitting the CE3PRO title from Cura exported file names seemed to solve the issue). I also run into weird issues when changing z-height after a print without homing, such as the extruder retracting something like 100 mm all of a sudden.

Great video, very thorough and informative. When you tested the thermal runaway safety feature by unplugging the heater cartridge you only confirmed that there was a low temperature alarm, you did not check if the printer shut off power to the heater or if it continued attempting to heat the hot end despite the alarm, that is very important to test. You should confirm with a multimeter that the voltage to the heater is zero after the alarm and also repeat the test by unplugging the thermocouple to simulate a thermocouple failure. Thanks.

*spoiler* you already know this, Bryan and I'm way out of touch w/ the new TFT screen printers & how Marlin behaves on them. If it's Marlin-based and supported, you could always issue something like: M190 S[bed temp you use] G28 G29 P4 M500 M140 S0 M84 Then after G28 in your start code add M420 S1 Z3 to load the last mesh and set it to fade out compensation after 5mm. Leave off Z3 if they didn't compile that option into the firmware.

(The comment about using a UPS is brilliant). Your straight-forward explanations and examples along the way were, to one unexperienced with the trials and tribulations of configuring these devices, absolutely perfect and understandable. Super happy that this video all-but-solidifies my choice, but most importantly helped to temper some expectations I had, being a tech geek for the last 35 years but not getting into 3d printing until now. I loved some of the models and filament choices in this video and can see how much I'm going to love getting into this and introducing my pre-teen STEM loving kid to this along with me (and likely a honey-do list of cool things my wife decides she wants as well).

Never considered trying Creality's slicer and I'll be damned if installing it and trying the CR-10 Smart Pro profile didn't cure 90% of my issues. I'll have to do some digging to see what all the differences are. Now that the CR-10 looks like it will get sorted out, I'll save 300 and just add the Ender S1 to my fleet. Thanks!

I just got this printer and it's the first 3d printer I've seen in person much less setup. Your video walked me through everything perfectly and without issues. I've just started printing the bunny so I guess we will see how that turns out. Thank you for the very informative and helpful walkthrough. Now onto to the splicer software. I am very proficient in Autodesk AutoCAD so I'm guessing this will be similar, but I believe the program Fusion 360 is used by some people as a splicer, or at least CAD program. Do you know if I can use that for this machine? If so, what format do I need to save the files as for the printer to be able to read them? Thanks again!
@BV3D
2 жыл бұрын
Hi! I'm glad this video was helpful! People use Fusion 360 as a 3D modeling & design application. Generally you'd export the model as an STL file, and then use a slicer such as Creality Slicer, or Cura, or even PrusaSlicer to turn the STL file into a G-code file for the printer. The printer ONLY understands G-code files. G-code files tell the printer what temperature to set the nozzle and bed to, and they tell it where to move, and when to extrude plastic. I think Fusion 360 can create G-code, but I don't have any experience doing that. To me, it's best to use one of the slicer programs I just mentioned, since they're geared specifically for creating the G-code files for the printers, and you can start with basic settings and then adjust from there. For instance, if you wanted to print a model in "draft mode" to see if it's exactly as you expect, you can do that. And if it turns out that it's good, with one quick change you can slice it again, and print it in a higher resolution if you want it to look nicer. And if you want to skip designing your own things to print, check out printables.com for lots of STL files! You can upload your own designs there, too, if you want to share them with the world.

The only reason to turn off the bed heater during probing is to prevent noise from the PWM signal messing with the probe reading. If the probe is reliabe and consistent when heaters are still turned on, then the feature that disables the heaters during probing ought to be disabled. That said, even with the feature enabled, the bed heater should only be off during the brief period while the probe is moving down towards the bed, and not throughout the whole process. So, that seems like a custom modification by Creality.

After having a CR6SE with the solid mounted bed, I really wish Creality would stay with the solid bed with future printers. I get the knobs are for fine tuning the leveling, but the CR6 does an amazing job at leveling with the solid bed, and both the S1 and the CR6 come with stock ABL. In my opinion, this thing is just a direct drive version of the CR6 with a USB-C port, the old style bed leveling and non-touch screen, for the same price.

12:06 The power outage recovery test. (It will never work. Just get a good UPS in place, problem solved.) First. The re-home after power outage is the BIG fail in my opinion of the power out recovery. I did not see it use the print head mounted Z sensor to confirm where the bed is. Maybe it used the Z home switch? Second and I think this is a big point as to why it will never work. Let's assume it does manage to reposition correctly. The project end point is now cold. Probably miss formed. So how is the hot end going to lay down/attach a clean hot strand of filament to a cold end well enough that on the next pass over that,, weld,, will not cause a problem? In my opinion. If you have a power outage during a print, it is best to trash it and start over when the power is back.

Hey Bryan, great review. I've been watching reviews for weeks and narrowed down my first printer between the Artillery Sidewinder x2 that you recently reviewed and this Ender-3 S1. I'm leaning towards the Ender despite the larger build volume of the Sidewinder because of the community around the Ender series... Is it safe to assume that when I want to move to a larger build volume, that there will be after market parts to do so? Any takes on the differences between the extruder and hot end of the Sidewinder x2 vs the "Sprite" extruder on the Ender 3 S1? Thanks!

Actually the Artlillery Genius Pro would be a better comparison to the S1 because of the similar build volume. I found myself looking at these myself but then opted for the X2, you can always print small on a big printer, but never big on a small printer. We'll see how that works out. Ultimately I went with the Artillery for the AC bed heater and quiter operation.

I printed the rabbit and handle thingy first and was very pleased with the rabbit, but the bed handle thing was a little rough after I removed the support overburden. I'm currently printing a small box that fills the width and discovered that this printer is very easy to change the z-offset and increase the nozzle temp on the fly, which is a major benefit for a novice like me. I changed filament types after creating the GCODE file and discovered that the silk filament needed 210 degrees as a minimum, which I was able to change using the "Tune" option on the control panel.

Hey Brian, Hope you see this. Great video as always 💪🏼 With the failure you had, where the nozzle made a decent imprint on the build surface, I still feel it’s a firmware related issue with the BLTouch (CRTouch from my understanding is a rebranded BLTouch) rather then a SD card issue as CHEP suggested (I have tried multiple SD cards, the same even happens if I print over USB, lol). I’ve been having this issue at random intervals on my Ender 3 v2 since installing the BLTouch with the default Creality BLTouch (Marlin) firmware and also the latest Jyers Marlin firmware. This has happened when I home all axes, started a print, after a power failure and even mid print, but never consistently so that I can identify what’s causing it to try and reproduce the issue and send my results off to Creality Support. Luckily I’ve always been around or close to my printer when this has happened and could switch the power off in time before there were any irreversible damages, however I haven’t been so lucky when I recently (as in last week Friday) fitted the wham bam flexible PEX build system 😔 Installed it and was so stoked to start my first print on the brand new build surface. I relevelled the bed, performed ABL (I have the UBL Jyers firmware installed), even double and triple checked my Z Offset to avoid a collision issue and was ready to get printing a small 10mm x 10mm x 10mm cube. Started the print, waited for the bed and hotend to heat up again and got distracted, next thing I glance over and my nozzle is pushing the bed so far down the Z motor started skipping steps 😢 I was left with a huge nozzle imprint and a few deep drag/scratch marks on the PEX surface. After a power cycle the printer went back to normal and Ive been printing without any issues, barring the messed up PEX sheet (which I’m struggling to find a replacement sheet in South Africa at the moment as we only have one supplier stocking them. As any South African will tell you, impoting is not an option as parcels mysteriously disappear lol) My biggest concern is seeing you having a similar issue on the S1 as I’ve had with the hotend destroying a build surface it makes me wonder how many other Creality users have had the same issues since fitting a BLTouch to their Enders. If you do manage to find a resolution or permanent solution, I would be very keen to see what you’ve come up with. Keep up the great work

"CRTouch from my understanding is a rebranded BLTouch" The CR Touch is, to my understanding, not simply a repackaged BL Touch. The simplest difference to see, besides the external shape, is the use of a metal pin over the plastic one in the BL Touch. The CR Touch does share the same input / output interface but that is a very smart decision in my mind because it allows any plugins or code that was written with the BL Touch in mind to work, without any code changes, for the CR Touch.

Thank you for great review video. I have a problem with my s1. Can you help me? I recently purchased an Ender S1 3D printer from Micro Center and have used it for 3-4 prints. However, I've been experiencing an issue where the nozzle and bed temperature drop to zero after heating them to a certain setting and starting a print. I've tried cleaning the hotend nozzle, but the problem persists. Can you assist me with this issue? Thank you

Hiya Bryan, was looking into getting one of these and saw a review that said the new motherboard/wiring would made it harder to made changes...any thoughts on that? Very new to the 3D printing scene so not sure if that's relevant to me as I most likely won''t made mods to it

Hi Bryan, do you happen to know if the catastrophe regarding resuming after a power failure was ever fixed? I'm pretty turned off on the idea myself. With my ender 3 v2 the sample filament ran out mid print and while I was anticipating it enough to pause and change fillament, the new fillament oozed while the nozzle heated back up, the new fillament didn't extrude properly at first and the oozed glob made a mess. After letting it run for a couple more layers with my fingers crossed, it was clear that print had failed and I had to start again. Up until now I thought that was the worst thing that could happen if a print was interrupted.

I would like to add to my experience with the Ender 3 S1. Got it on Jan 9th and it no longer will except filament after a jam on Jan 26th. I followed Creality's KZitem channel for clearing a clog and it did work, but it was a temporary fix, as it seems it will no longer even allow filament to be loaded into the extruder. Its a shame too as I really was loving that printer. But I am probably going to send it back to Amazon as it didnt even last 1 month. Maybe I can exchange it with another one, but it could be a design flaw in their extruder, which means it could happen again. I only have till the 8th to send it back, so about a week left and the printer is dead...... Maybe you could make a video showing how to completely take the new Sprite extruder apart, maybe you'll find an issue or something. Might also help other with that too.

Hi! Definitely take advantage of Amazon's return policy. I ran some PETG at 240˚C through it yesterday, for a couple of hours on some small parts, and it did OK. But that's about as hot as I'm willing to run that extruder, since it's PTFE lined. I should probably order the all-metal version of the Sprite, which will be able to hit higher temperatures because it doesn't have that PTFE inside it. Looks like it might be available sometime in the next month.

@@BV3D I was only using PLA at no more than 210 for the 1st layer than 200-205 for the rest of the print. Also after the failed print/clog I followed the instructions and since I had some capricorn PTFE I cut to the right size and replaced the stock PTFE in the hot end, but still has issues, I am sure its the extruder part that is messed up somehow...

@@BV3D Update on the problem. I took the entire extruder/hot end apart and found that the clog went all the way up to the gears of the extruder, so it was blocking letting the filament in at all.

@@TheLotw I understand the frustration. First a bit of background. As a gift my brother gave me an Ender 3 Pro early November. I didn't jump into it. I watched the build videos.... (It's going to be the ender of me). 3 weeks later I had my first experience using a 3D printer. Related to you. CLOG! It seems Crealty carries a flow problem from the 3 Pro to 3 S1. Luckily I have not needed to take apart the block to clean it. Ram rod it and replace the nozzle works for me. It's what I needed to do to print 3 Harry Lions. Plus the side spool mount arm, which was needed to make the lions happen.

Can you give me any hints since processor slicer does not have the same presets for this printer. At least that’s what I’m being told from Prusa support. I know this is a long post but also do you think you could do a video on how to set this up on a raspberry pi. I’m assuming you just use the usb C Connector

Yes, the sleek new look is nice, but it looks like it will be harder to upgrade - the aluminium extrusion of the earlier enders makes reconfiguring stuff a lot easier. Still, the S1 looks more developed, it looks more "friendly" to a more consumer audience.

Wait 14:38 Wait... Should the Ender 3 V2 be powered by the usb port? I set up octoprint on a Jetson Nano, and it bugged me enough that the Ender's screen wouldn't turn off (read: Screen on, Jetson on, Ender UNPLUGGED) that I compiled a utility to disable usb power ...it could not drive the motors, and threw errors when I tried to heat the bed, but the screen/ dial still operated

Hi, a lot of printers have the +5v line on their USB ports connected, though they probably shouldn't. It causes the exact issue you describe. There are passthrough devices you can use to prevent this from occurring, such as Brian Lough's USB Power B-Lough-R (his last name is pronounced "Block"). These can be had for about $7 USD from TH3D Studio or other resellers. Interestingly, I exploit that issue as a way to test thermal protection, because the USB port is enough to keep the printer's mainboard and screen running, but nowhere near powerful enough to run the nozzle or bed heater. So on printers with mainboards that can be powered that way, I can turn the printer's power supply on and also connect a USB power source. Then I can set the nozzle to 200˚C, and once it's at temperature, I can turn off the printer's power supply. The USB power will keep the screen and mainboard running, but the nozzle temperature will start dropping, and if the printer has the thermal safety features enabled, it'll throw an error.
