Many users have been having issues due to odd folder setups on their computers. If you do not follow the below advice the firmware may have issues compiling.

The instructions are pretty clear, and all the tools and bolts are provided. So as long as you can turn an allen wrench, you shouldn’t have any issues assembling the machine. ConcernsIf you want to see the print settings for any of the prints I mentioned, you can find links to 3D Print Log in the description below. The full metal extruder with double drive gear ensures a strong grip, greater and more even extrusion force and a continuous and stable feed. Finally, be ready to embrace the learning curve. Watch your prints, learn to spot trouble signs and keep experimenting. Creality 3D’s Ender 7 uses the Bowden system with a metal dual gear extruder that allows stable and consistent equal feeding. The extruder also has double part cooling for fast and eco-friendly cooling. A customized nozzle is equipped with superior high volume flow for high-quality accelerated prints. Thanks to the core-XY structure, the print bed can move up and down the Z-axis which significantly improves the print quality of higher objects. The core-XY structure adds immense power and will also significantly boost the print speed.

With the Creality Ender 7, you can enjoy the fastest 3D printing with up to 250 mm / s with high print quality. but i hope you realize what changing the firmware does, for instance you no longer can use the lcd on the printer, so please really consider doing these steps to reduce your risks Improving the stability of the feed is good for the stability of the print quality and reducing the friction between the Teflon tube and the material Speed is not the only thing that affects the print time, the thing that is really slowing us down is acceleration. Printer needs a specific amount of time to reach certain speed, it does not happen instantly. So with models like 3D benchy, the distance between one point and another is so small , that the printer never reaches its top speed, so when you print on ender 7, the print time is not greatly reduced.In the configuration.h file there are printer models you can uncomment to tell the firmware what machine you are setting it up for. Uncomment means removing the // in front of a setting and you will be left with #define XXXXXX if an option is enabled. A fully optimised slicing path dynamically adapts the motion acceleration and deceleration algorithm to effectively ensure the quality and efficiency of the printing process. Power off your printer and put the SD card into your printer’s SD slot. Turn the power on. This will cause the printer to flash the firmware from the SD card to your printer CPU. This may take up to 1 minute on some boards. If the build succeeds it is ready for you to upload to your printer. You will know if it was successfully built because it will show a SUCCESS in green at the bottom of the window in Visual Studio Code. Example of what a successful compile looks like. Your environment name may be different from what is shown above.

The Ender-7 also comes with various accessories in the box, including an 8gb micro-SD card, a micro-SD card to USB-A reader, a flush cutter, a scraper, and all the tools needed to assemble the machine. It also included half a kilogram of PLA filament, mine was the color white. Overall, I think the Ender-7 is a spectacular printer. It is a very rigid machine that you can push to some incredible speeds thanks to the linear rails and core-xy design. The advertised 250 millimeters per second is not just marketing talk. Combined with a decent print volume, you’ll be able to prototype large objects in record times with this printer. And if you slow it down just a little, you’ll have high quality prints. The extra features like power-loss recovery and filament runout detection are nice to have, even if they are a little buggy. The touch screen is pleasant to use, much more user friendly than the knob controls you normally find. According to the team of Creality, the design of Ender 7 references the appearance of "Temple of Athena Nike", the famous and historic temple in Greece, unlike the 4-column temple built with white marble on the left and right side, the Ender 7 only has 3 triangular distributed "Roman column" to support its top.

Test

Load the file into the Slicer, select Ender 7 as your machine, PLA as the material (unless you’ve already chosen a different material) and then make any additional changes you might need for the specific print you’ve chosen. Most files have some notes about what settings to use. Performance With the Ender 7, Creality is boasting a staggeringly high 250 mm/s print speed while claiming to maintain the same printing quality.
