Testing 5 Ender 3 Fan Duct Upgrades YouMakeTech 2021-03-29 | What are the best fan duct upgrades for the Ender 3? While the stock Ender 3s' part cooling fan is usually enough for most people, some decide to upgrade their part cooling. I made a compilation of all the water tests I have done so far on my Ender 3 Pro part cooling upgrades. I thought this could be useful to others as it allows to compare the noise and the airflow of various cooling mods side by side.There is no particular order: Note that better airflow does not necessarily implies better print quality. Too much airflow will deflect the filament as it leaves the nozzle and degrade the print quality! Too much airflow can also reduce inter-layer adhesion.For most parts, a cooling mod may not be necessary. A cooling mod improves bridges and overhangs, reducing the need for support structures.⏰ Chapters ⏰0:00 Ender 3 Pro Stock (4010 fan)0:10 Bullseye (4010 fan)0:21 Blokhead (5015 fan)0:31 Blokhead (5015 fan @75%)0:41 Hero Me Gen 5 (single 5015 fan & dual ducts)0:51 Hero Me Gen 5 (dual 5015 fans & dual ducts)1:02 Hero Me Gen 5 (dual 5015 fans @ 50% & dual ducts)➡️ Downloads* Bullseyethingiverse.com/thing:2759439* Blokheadthingiverse.com/thing:2759439* Hero Me Gen5thingiverse.com/thing:5210744

Freenove Robot Dog Kit for Raspberry Pi | Unboxing & Assembly YouMakeTech 2021-02-26 | In today's episode, I assemble the new Freenove Robot Dog Kit for Raspberry Pi. The robot comes complete (structure, servos, sensors etc.) with the exception of the Raspberry Pi and the batteries.I normally do not buy robot kits as my interest is in making my own robots using 3D printing. But I could not find any quadruped robot on the Internet which was so easy to assemble and program. I was impressed by the quality of the tutorial. Every step is detailed with pictures and instructions. The complete Python code is also provided, to walk, balance, track a ball, measure a distance, activate a buzzer or animate a LED panel. I think the Freenove Robot Dog Kit for Raspberry Pi is the go to robot for anyone getting started in quadruped robots. ➡️ Links* Buy one: amzn.to/3xmjJAZ* Complete code (Python) + 133 pages tutorial:github.com/Freenove/Freenove_Robot_Dog_Kit_for_Raspberry_Pi/archive/master.zip⏰ Chapters ⏰0:00 Introduction0:44 Unboxing2:24 Not in the box (to buy separately)2:29 Assembly5:18 Raspberry Pi configuration7:20 Assembly (continued)10:25 Testing12:15 Conclusion➡️ Music: The Platformer / ShutterStock
Programming an Arduino Robot with Python 🐍 YouMakeTech 2021-02-19 | Learn how to control a simple Arduino robot with Python! The robot is a 3d printed robot arm from Thingiverse and is controlled by 4 servo motors: 3 to control the axes and one to open and close the hand. The robot is connected to the computer using an Arduino Uno board. We will be flashing the Arduino with a special program called StandardFirmata which allows to control all Arduino pins from the PC, by communicating with the Arduino over USB. This makes possible to control the Arduino remotely from the Python shell or from a Python script. We will write Python scripts of increased complexity to control the robot and to perform funny tasks!➡️ Links* What you needyoumaketech.com/arduino-robot-programming-with-python* EEZYbotARM 3D printed robotic arm by daGHIZmo on Thingiverse: thingiverse.com/thing:1015238* Python code on Github: github.com/YouMakeTech/RobotArm⏰ Chapters⏰0:00 Introduction1:43 FirmataStandard upload to the Arduino2:21 Servo-motors connection to the Arduino2:55 Move a servo with Python and pyFirmata3:56 Connect the 5 servos to the Arduino4:19 Programming the robot using Python5:30 Object-Oriented programming and the RobotArm class7:51 Conclusion➡️ Music: "Build The World" / Nick Petrov / ShutterStock
How To Print TPU on Ender 3 YouMakeTech 2021-02-08 | Flexible filaments are notoriously difficult to print due to their elasticity. In today's episode, I show you the best upgrades and Cura settings to print TPU on your Ender 3. As an example, I print RC car tires for my OpenRC F1 using TPU from Sunlu.⏰ Chapters ⏰0:00 What is TPU and why flexible filaments are difficult to print?1:07 Direct drive upgrade1:47 Spool holder upgrade2:07 Best Cura Settings to print flexible filaments (TPU)4:13 Conclusion➡️ Links* SpeedDrive v1 - ORIGINAL DIRECT DRIVE MOUNTthingiverse.com/thing:3816051* Ender 3 spool holder thingiverse.com/thing:3979065* Flexible filament used in this episode:SUNLU TPU Flexible Filament 1.75mm for 3D Printer 500gamzn.to/3zdgcnK➡️ MusicEmotions Machine / shutterstock
3D Printed Direct-Drive for the Ender 3 YouMakeTech 2021-02-04 | Upgrade your Ender 3 to Direct Drive for free using only 3D printed parts! ⏰ Chapters ⏰00:00 Introduction00:25 SpeedDrive v1 presentation00:55 Direct drive upgrade kit from Creality01:23 3D printed parts required01:57 SpeedDrive installation (step by step)10:21 ConclusionDirect extrusion is a method of extrusion by which the extruder pushes the filament directly into the nozzle. A direct drive extruder provides several advantages with respect to a Bowden extruder. It allows to print with a wider range of filaments, in particular TPU flexible filaments. Because the extruder is closer from the nozzle, it provides a more accurate extrusion and can quickly retract the filament. In order to this, I use the SpeedDrive v1 from Thingiverse:SpeedDrive v1 - ORIGINAL DIRECT DRIVE MOUNT thingiverse.com/thing:3816051I quite like the SpeedDrive design: it is simple and the motor location makes it compatible with most cooling upgrades, Bullseye, Blokhead, HeroMe… Something to take into consideration because the stock cooling on the Ender 3 Pro will quickly show its limits.If you don’t want to follow the DIY route, you can get a Direct Drive upgrade from Creality for less than 40 USD. Ender-3 /Ender-3 Pro Direct Drive Extruder, Upgraded Direct Extruding Full Kits with Nozzles:creality3dofficial.com/products/direct-extruding-mechanism-complete-extruder-nozzle-kit-for-ender-3This is a pretty good deal taken into consideration that it comes complete with the extruder, the hotend, the nozzle, the cables and the fans.Unfortunately, the position of the motor in the Creality design prevents the installation of a cooling mod therefore I decided to switch to the SpeedDrive design shown in this video.➡️ Music: "Emotional" from ArtIss /Shutterstock

Blokhead Fan Duct Upgrade for Ender 3 YouMakeTech 2021-01-25 | Install & Test of the Blokhead fan duct upgrade on Ender 3 Pro. I take a look at the new Blokhead fan duct upgrade for 3D printers. The Blokhead is the new fan duct upgrade from Petsfang. It is the successor of the well known Bullseye fan duct upgrade.After installing the Blokhead on my Ender 3 Pro, I test the air flow and the noise level using a water test. Then I compare the print quality between the Blokhead, the Ender 3 pro stock cooling system and a benchmark (fan off).⏰ Chapters ⏰0:00 What is the Blokhead?0:53 What you need1:30 Assembly3:47 Airflow & Noise4:26 Print quality8:06 Conclusion➡️ Links* Bullseye Blokhead by Petsfang:thingiverse.com/thing:2759439* Cooling fan torture test by TeachingTech: thingiverse.com/thing:3167063➡️ Music: "Power Inside" / Shutterstock
