Welcome to a quick guide on the parts of the Ender-3 3D printer. Planning to do
some DIY upgrades to the printer? Looking for replacement parts? The original
manual only walked through the assembly and did not quite state all the dimensions.
So here it is, a compilation of all the parts, to the best of my knowledge – Read on!

P.S. I only have an Ender-3 Pro, but the “common parts” on Ender-3 and Ender-3
Pro V2 should be pretty similar. Comment below if I got some parts wrong, and if
you want to contribute to the list.

P.S. The Ender-3 profiles are pre-cut to various lengths and have pre-drilled screw
holes. So unless you have the means to cut and drill the profiles yourself, YouTube
replacements are not recommended.

P.P.S. There is another type called the t-slot aluminum profile. They look similar, but
the difference is in the center groove – Read this beginner’s guide if you want to

Standard GT2. 2mm pitch, 6mm wide. As for the length, these are contributed by
people on Reddit:

765 mm on the x-axis.

720 mm on the y-axis.

Things will be easier if you have a belt tensioner, just buy one long roll and cut it
yourself.

Deez Nuts are attached to the end of the stepper motor. GT2, of course. 20 teeth,

FILAMENT NOZZLE

The “factory default” nozzle size of the Ender-3 is 0.4mm. But some people swap a
larger diameter to “print faster”, and some swap a smaller diameter to “print finer”.
Not sure how much of a difference it makes, but check out this post if you are
interested to know more about the nozzle size.

COLLER FAN

x
40 X 40 X 10 mm fan, 24 V 0.1 A… Sometimes also known as 4010 DC fans. Some
people may be thinking of getting “upgraded” fans, but the key is to control the
temperature. You do not want the filament to cool too fast and harden too early.
Neither is “hot and squishy” filament a good idea.

FILAMENT TUBE

The standard diameter of filaments is 1.75mm, and the diameter of the tube itself is
2mm. As for the length… You will have to guesstimate. So long as it can reach end-
to-end, it works.

ENDSTOP SWITCH

x
Also sometimes known as the “limit switch”. I am not quite sure if these are standard
switches or an “Ender-specific switch”. In any case, they are easily available online.

HOTBED

Approximately 235 X 235 mm.

POWER SUPPLY

x
The original power supply is 24V 15A. But subjective again, if you want to upgrade
to a better 24V power supply – Go ahead.

POWER CABLE

IEC 60320 C13, otherwise also known as the common “kettle plug”.

MOTHERBOARD

x
 The “original” Ender 3 comes with a version 4.1.1 motherboard. They can be
easily identified, as these motherboards are using the old mini USB. Don’t
think these are available in the market anymore.
The later Ender 3 pro, Ender 3 pro V2, and Ender 5 models come with
V4.2.2. Then, they are further upgraded to V4.2.7. Yep, you guys who are still
using the older 4.1.1 can technically upgrade to the newer version. They
supposedly have better stepper motor control, are more quiet, prints better,
and are backward compatible.
Finally, some people prefer to switch to the “alternative” SKR Mini E3
motherboard. Not sure about this one, as I have not personally tried it. Just
do a quick search on YouTube videos if you want to find out more.

DISPLAY SCREEN

There are now 3 different “types” of screens for the Ender-3 models:

12864 LCD screen – The older black-and-white screen for Ender-3 and
Ender-3 Pro.
Color LED screen – I cannot find any model information on this. But the later
Ender-3 Pro V2 comes with this one. Not a touch screen though.
Touchscreens – Yep, some third parties also offer touchscreen kits to
upgrade the older Enders.

THE END
Thank you for reading, and we have come to the end of this guide.
Please comment below if I got some parts wrong, missed out on
some parts, or if you have anything to share with this guide. Good
luck and happy printing.

TY for sharing! I’ve bought pretty much all the bits for a 2nd Ender3Pro over the last
year except a handful of special bits like the Y carriage and tensioners while
upgrading mine. I might use this page as a shopping list for the bits I’m still missing.
You forgot the motherboard saga – 4.1.1 with a mini USB generally on Ender3, 4.2.2
or 4.2.7 with a micro USB on Ender3Pro or V2.
And loud vs silent stepper drivers. Ay yi yi…
But definitely a great list, thanks again for compiling and sharing.

Hello,
In regards to the “support” extrusions there are 2 distinct “types”. There are “V” and x
“T” types. The “V” type is used on the Enders. Also, the specific extrusion profiles
used by Creality are difficult to find. The problem is that the “V” channels used for
thing like roller wheels are not consistent between manufacturers.

Also, you have the Z and Y axis reversed in your list. The “Z” is up/down, and “Y” is
front/back.

Do you know the lengths of all of the aluminum extrusion pieces?

Updated the list – Take note, dimensions are based on my Ender-3 pro. Not too
sure if V2 retains the same dimensions.
