Product Information

The brands that I generally use are SUNLU or Hatchbox, which are all quite affordable and I never had a problem with any of them. Don’t preheat indefinitely There are many reasons to calibrate the Z offset on an Ender 3, such as leveling the bed properly, adding a glass sheet to the bed, printing more complicated models, and even printing on top of another object.

Everything from ease of use, printer longevity and (most importantly) print quality can be improved by using some of the best Ender 3 upgrades. Some people recommend cleaning the nozzle more often (every 3-5 prints), while others recommend cleaning it less often (every 10-15 prints). Ultimately, it depends on how much gunk and filament residue accumulates on the nozzle, and how much of a difference it makes in terms of print quality.best results on small parts but need a fan to cool the plastic while printing due to the low flow rate of the nozzle Now every time the extruder pulls on the filament, it has to go through that piece of sponge and all the dirt and dust will be wiped off. Use quality filament While the standard Creality Ender 3 (Pro) nozzle size of 0.4 mm is suitable for most 3D printing applications, using a range of nozzles can open up new 3D printing possibilities. Then heat up your nozzle to around 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit) using the control panel of the printer. The official Creality tempered Ender 3 glass bed fits flush on the printer’s surface and is secured by a set of four clips for a secure fit.

Like I mentioned earlier, not all filament is made equal and not al manufacturers have the same strict quality-control and some filaments may come out with a larger tolerance (with a diameter that varies more than it should), or with strange particles in it that may cause clogs over time. The smaller the nozzle, the finer the motion needed to extrude material. This results in a smoother finish and less chance of clogs or jams. If your nozzle is too close to the build plate, then it can start to drag on the plate and cause a clog. The difference with going straight to the source and using Marlin 2.0 is the wealth of features, options for configuration and tinkering, and the firmware’s in-built adaptability.

Why Does Filament Leak & Ooze Out of the Nozzle?

Important Note: Adjusting the other three leveling screws will affect the first one, and since the other three corners of the bed are really low because I told you to tighten the adjustment wheels, if we raise all of them then the first spot I had you level will end up way too close to the nozzle.
