Summary
I started a video series in which I modify an Ender 3 pro in an unusual way. I started with making it foldablewith the use of threaded rods and bearings. I had to find another location for the power supply and display in order to do this.
The video in which I add this mod to my Ender 3 in order to make it foldable
Print Settings
Printer: Creality Ender 3 pro
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.2
Infill: 30%
Filament: Nylon CF
Notes:
I have used Nylon with carbon fiber because of the aesthetics and its strength. PETG, ABS and regular Nylon should work as well, but I recon PLA would be too fragile.
Mounting instructions
The document at the bottom of the page can be found in the zip download as well. However, some things need to be mentioned:
- The included bill of materials (BOM) contains the parts for the whole mod, including the power supply mod and display mod.
- The bearing holders need to be warmed up before pressing in the bearings otherwise it can crack, like mine did in the video. I just placed it on the stove for a couple of minutes.
- Use superglue to glue the bearings in the holders, otherwise they will come loose.
- Use M10 spring washers to lock everything.
- Instead of using 4 M8×20 bolts, you can use 30-32mm long threads to lock the part see this short clip
It is an experimental mod so it’s possible that things don’t work well over time and things can change. Keep this in mind and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Ciao a tutti mi chiamo Antonio sono Italiano, scrivo per primo questa recensione dicendo che ho provato a replicare il progetto di Jòn, mi è riuscito alla grande, la stampante si è appesantita un poco però nell’insieme è molto aggressiva con quei tiranti laterali.
per chi come me ha problemi di spazio questo upgrade è perfetto, un’altra cosa bella e particolare che una volta piegata la potete trasportare facilmente ovunque senza ingombri.
Questa è la mia esperienza espressa in poche righe, credetemi se ci sono riuscito io lo può fare chiunque.

Is it possible to get the Fusion files? I would like to change a few things and that is more problematic for my skill level with just STL files. Thanks

Thanks Scott for your interest in my designs! To make this sustainable I decided to share the parametric files with my patrons only. All tiers gain access to these files and you can find more information here https://www.patreon.com/properprinting?fan_landing=true
