If you're using an auto-leveling sensor such as the BLTouch or EZABL, the MeanWell PSU's consistent, clean power reduces issues related to power ripples and grounding. MeanWell PSUs use higher quality components than the cheap stock unit, providing cleaner power with fewer of the electrical spikes and sags that could pose a safety hazard. I work in the same room as my printer, so noise is a huge issue.

This reason alone made the upgrade worth it to me. This means a much quieter printer, especially when paired with the silent board upgrade.

There are several reasons to upgrade your Ender 3 to a MeanWell PSU including noise, safety, and even reducing bed-leveling issues.Д¬ompared to the stock PSU whose fan runs continuously, the MeanWell PSU only runs when it needs to-usually less than 20% of the time.

Of course, in addition to decreasing noise, this board and its upgraded stepper motor drivers improve the quality of your prints. Combined with the MeanWell PSU upgrade also mentioned in this guide, I often forget my printer is running since it now generates so little noise. If I had to choose a single upgrade from this guide (other than OctoPrint), it would be this one. It reduces your printer's noise from approximately 48dB to 36dB, with the remaining sound coming from the Ender 3's fans (which can also be upgraded to quieter fans). This is the biggest 'sound' upgrade you can make. This board directly replaces your existing Ender 3 mainboard, upgrading your printer to the silent TMC2208 stepper motor drivers. The 'whirring' noise you associate with printing is caused by the cheap stepper motor drivers used on the stock Ender 3 board.Д®nter the Creality Silent Mainboard (v1.1.5). There are two main sources of noise on your printer: 1) fans, and 2) the drivers (chips) that run your stepper motors. If you're using a 3D printer enclosure, I recommend printing these mods using ABS or PETG filament ambient enclosure temperatures can cause PLA to warp and deform over time. This 10-minute print mutes the beep quite a bit, getting rid of that annoyance and protecting our countrysides and space assets. This beep can level villages and knock satellites out of orbit. You've probably noticed how loud the Ender 3 beeps when navigating the menu interface. If your Bowden tube has popped out of place or if you're having print quality issues, you might want to print these pressure fitting shims that will prevent your Bowden tubes from shifting or popping out during printing. This simple screen cover protects your Ender 3 display's PCB (printed circuit board) from damage. This cable chain is a must-have for preventing dangerous cable snags when the bed moves along the Y-axis.

It snaps directly into the side of the upper support. This filament guide holds the filament away from the feeder, allowing for a more consistent feed rate and less skipping. The location of the mainboard fan is directly beneath the build plate, meaning bits of filament can fall in and damage the fan or board. Tons of other printable mods exist, but this is the core list that will give you the best bang for your print time.Д«efore you print anything else, print this mod.

Below are the top 3D-printable Ender 3 mods and upgrades you can perform.
