2. Assembly
Note:
This is essentially the beta release of this guide. I'm sure there's a couple of things I missed. If you have problems please post them on the Facebook page or Discord. I'm not extremely active on here.
Introduction
This guide is currently a work in progress and goes through the steps to assemble the Ender 3 v2 upgrade kit. This means the guide will focus on the standard build which is a stock Ender 3 V2 and the BLV upgrade kit. Upgrades this guide covers that aren't included in the kit are:
- SKR3 EZ
- Raspberry Pi 4
- BLTouch(clone)
- Klipper firmware at Ben's request.
- I will not be covering Marlin or any other flavors
- CAN board
I want to make it clear that any modifications I do will be limited. Any modifications covered will be approved by Ben as an authorized alternative to the original build.

Additional Information-In Process
I wasn’t paid to write these guides. Ben asked me to do it as a favor to him. Considering all that he’s done for our community I felt it was the least I could do. To be honest even though it took about 2 months to build and document, I had a lot of fun doing it. It forced me to write guides in a manner that was easy for everyone to understand and cleanup my Github so I could share any files that were used that aren’t part of the original download. You’re not obligated but if you would like, feel free to donate.
