PrintTimeGenius Plugin – Provides more accurate print times.Navbar Temperature Plugin – Provides bed and hot end temps in nav bar.Floating Navbar – Makes the nav bar float at the top of the page & always visible.Custom Control Editor – See LEVELING below.OctoPrint out of the box is super powerful, but it also has community created plugins that extend its functionality.

It provides an intranet server (or internet if you port forward your router – don’t, security issues as you know) that has a web based GUI that you can manage the printer and print directly from, much easier than the multifunction jog wheel on the Ender 3. The OctoPrint Raspberry Pi connects via USB to the Ender 3. OctoPrint is a 3D Printer specific derivation of Raspbian, the operating system you flash onto the RPi memory card. Doesn’t need to be the newest Rpi, I’m using an RPi 2B.
ULTIMAKER CURA ENDER 3 PRO MANUAL
Don’t spring for a BL Touch leveling hardware, manual leveling isn’t very hard.Don’t replace your fans unless one quits, they are sufficient.This is done when you slice your stl file in Cura, see PROGRAMS below for details. Set your hot end to 200 for PLA, rather than the default 180. Don’t replace your hot end right away, it’s sufficient, it comes with a spare tip and cleaning tools.I put large felt feet on the bottom of my Ender 3 frame to keep it from transmitting vibration noises into the table it sits on.I also designed and printed a camera and light mount to fit what I had laying around.
ULTIMAKER CURA ENDER 3 PRO HOW TO
I’ll detail how to print an STL file on the Ender in PRINTING below. This helps keep the filament from kinking, by keeping the filament in an arc from the spool to the feed.

I’ll detail monitoring and dealing with thermal run-away with OctoPrint in PROGRAMS => Plugins => TP-Link Smartplug below. The setup I listed can detect thermal run-away and turn off the Ender 3 remotely and independently from the printer. The Ender 3 does not have a way to stop thermal run-away if its own electronics have a short circuit. Thermal run-away is a real threat that can cause a fire. DO NOT print anything while you are not home, UNLESS you have a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint installed connected to the Ender 3 via USB, monitoring temperatures and able to control a separate On/Off smart plug.They are not Ender 3 specific, and apply to relatively all 3D printers. I own an Ender 3 Pro, and want to share my thoughts, tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way.
