Why does my 3D printer Keep layer shifting?
If the nozzle collides with the part being printed, the part could move, causing layer shifting later in the print. Collisions tend to occur when the shape of a print makes it easy for them to happen. For instance, small features of a print coming loose or a warped first layer can easily get in the way of the nozzle.
How do I update my Ender 3 Marlin?
Download the latest version of Marlin firmware. Unzip the folder and navigate to the example configurations folder (in the Marlin folder). Open the Ender 3 folder and copy all the files there back into the Marlin folder. When it asks if you want to overwrite what’s already there, click “yes”.
Does Ender 3 Pro use Marlin?
Marlin supports both 8- and 32-bit 3D printer mainboards while still being able to run complex and an ever-increasing amount of features. For the Ender 3s, there are basic pre-configured configuration files that can be uploaded straight to the printer’s motherboard if it has a bootloader.
How tight should the Ender 3 belts be?
The best way to ensure you properly tension your 3D printer belts is to tighten it so it hasn’t got any slack and has some resistance to being pushed down. It should be around the same tension as a stretched out rubber band, but don’t tension your belts too tight because it can increase the wear on the belt.
How tight should the Y axis belt be?
While the Y-Axis doesn’t normally have as much of an issue with a loose belt, it too can lose tension over time. Follow the same process for the Y-Axis belt as you would for the X-Axis belt. When you tighten it, the belt should be as taut as possible and have no slack.
Does Ender 3 V2 use Marlin?

What does bl touch do?
BL-Touch is a smart auto leveling sensor for 3D printers based on open source, which can precisely measure and adjust the distance between the build plate and printer nozzle in a simple and easy way. Automatic leveling achieves via the collaboration between the BL-touch device and its firmware.
