About this deal

With the frame in hand, sourcing the other materials is pretty straightforward. Wood and plexiglass panels are widely available at hardware stores. The fact that the machine is almost unusable out of the box due to the zprobe offset issue, the zaxis tuning and consumers cannot fix this from the supplier is horrifically embarrassing. Im SERIOUSLY beginning to think I selected the wrong brand, customer service and support is king, I feel like you guys just took my money and ran. What I like the most on the Cube Ender 5 frame is the possibility of enclosing the printer with ease. After buying some plexiglass panels, you will easily be able to print ABS or other high temp materials without issues. Dual Z Axis Stable Z-axis Lead screw drive smoothly and steady. The movement of the build plate will be more stable. Ender 5 Plus Unboxing Build&Set-Up The Ender 5 Plus uses the MK8 nozzle standard size, so your options are pretty broad, and it’s hard to go wrong.

As for TPU, it’s possible to print this flexible filament on both machines, but the Bowden extruder setup of both machines can cause all manner of headaches – jams, clogs, slips, and extremely temperamental retraction performance. Unless you’re willing to make some targeted upgrades to adapt the printers, TPU is best left alone. The theoretical print quality is the same for both 3D printers. In practice, however, the results with the Ender-5 S1 are slightly more reproducible than with the Ender-5 Plus. This is mainly due to the extruder. Creality’s MK8 all-metal is a low-cost and straightforward option designed for easy installation on the Ender 5 Plus. Convenience aside, the Official Creality Enclosure does a fantastic job of maintaining stable temperatures around the printer.If you plan on using ABS or other heat-sensitive materials like ASA, an enclosure counts among some of the must-have Ender 5 Plus upgrades to avoid issues like warping. On the other hand, the high temperatures that a 3D printer uses to conduct the printing process can be as dangerous as they are required, which is one of the reasons that it’s never recommended to leave a 3D printer unattended while it’s operating, similar to cooking food on a stove. Before flashing anything, if you have customized the E-step, probe offset or PID, all will be wiped and factory default. Do write down before proceeding. Update LCD Firmware

Before manufactured solutions from the likes of Creality and 3D UpFitters were available, makers had to rely on novel solutions to transform their machines into ABS-ready printers. The chief benefit is that the mod directs cool air to both sides of the nozzle for superb cooling performance. It also supports a host of direct drive extruders and other upgrades, with a version suited to housing the BL Touch sensor found on the Ender 5 Plus.There’s really only one company worth considering for an Ender 3 and Ender 5 extension – Ender Extender. Although perfectly serviceable, the Ender 5 Plus’ extruder plastic is prone to wear and tear with prolonged use. On the thermal side of things, plexiglass is a strong insulator, keeping your print jobs at a stable temperature. It outclasses wood in that respect, and with a robust design, you can easily create a tightly sealed chamber protected from drafts. No, the Ender 5 Plus is only available in an open design. However, if you want to retrofit the printer, it is no problem to close the sides with Plexiglas panes cut to size in a specialist shop and suitable holders for the aluminum profiles. At the top, however, the printer should remain open – a completely closed build volume could only be suitable for ABS. Can the Creality Ender 5 Plus or Ender 6 be equipped with a second print head? The Creality Ender 6 also offers a large build volume – but it differs from the Ender 5 Plus in a few key ways. In detail, the technical specifications of the two large-capacity FDM printers are as follows:
