Ender 3 V3 KE: Heat bed is not heating as expected : CB2565

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 03:18:09 -0700

Hello, my heating bed has been failing to "heat as expected" and throws an error code of CB2565. My question is does this code need a complete bed replacement or is it usually an easy fix? Also, if i need a new print bed, will the replacement bed for the SE work, or do I need a KE bed. I'm still new to 3d printing and this is my first hardware issue since i bought this printer a year ago.

Creality Ender 3 Pro: Why is my printer not wanting to print.

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 13:06:37 -0700

I recently got a Ender. 3 pro and installed new firmware on it because I had the blank blue screen. Once I did that, I tried running a print but all it did was heat up the extruded and bed, then acted like it completed the print.

Ender 3 v2 Neo: My Ender 3 Max Neo Stops Extruding Filament Mid-Print

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 02:27:46 -0700

While you may be confused why I'm putting this under Ender V2 Neo, they are functionally the same device, size being the difference. Now, here's my issue, when I print the print will start off fine enough, but filament will consistently stop at about the same point each time. https://preview.redd.it/continuous-print...

More or less what happens is that the print starts off normal, and then the print simply stops at a certain point. This isn't because the filament is caught on anything, I've had this issue for a few months and taken apart a few items of the printer. I'm not sure if this is a settings issue, or if this might be an issue with the hotend, as I had to replace it, and these problems started after a few such changes.

If you have any questions you need me to clarify, I'd really like to solve this. Thanks.

After the first 2 layers are printed, my ender 3 v2 plugs up. I have to pull the Boden tube, pull the filament, clean it and start over only for it to happen time after time.

Creality Ender 3 Pro: 3d printer bed not leveling

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 11:53:24 -0700

I don't know why, but the back right 3d printer bed leveling knob won't make the bed go up and down when I twist it. I tried taking the knob off and the screw won't do anything at all either. I know that this is probably just a simple piece of hardware that I need to tighten, but I don't want to make the issue worse or break something by just playing around with it.

I had to replace the printing head on my printer and when I'd finished the screen started only showing black when the printer is switched on.

Edit: I have read that the software may need updating but I have no idea how to do that without using the screen.

Ender 3 v2: Touch Screen Went Blank

Sat, 01 Apr 2023 07:35:37 -0700

I recently upgraded my Ender-3 Pro w/auto leveler to a 4.2.7 silent motherboard and touch screen display. Everything seemed to work great. Then I made a big mistake. I put the wrong micro sd card in the printer and turned it on. I think I had a .BIN file on it that I thought I had deleted. Now my touch screen comes up with only blank screen and backlighting. I think it needs to somehow be re-flashed. The Creality web site has all kinds of flash files I don't have a clue which one to use. Am I screwed or what?
