Magnet beds do not hold the spring steel print surface plate as well as an adhesive magnet sheet, this is mainly because you are holding smooth metal on smooth metal versus smooth metal onto a grippy plastic surface Another benefit of the enclosure upgrade is that it keeps in 3D printing fumes, decreasing potentially harmful effects of 3D printing on your health. Likely in recognition of changing market expectations, the Ender 5 Plus made a big leap in table size — to 350 x 350 mm, making an altogether bigger and more imposing machine. Similar to the bed cabling on the Ender 5 Plus, the hot end cabling and Bowden tubing are unsupported as they feed into the print head. While I recommend following the existing links/guides to leveling/tramming the bed, I find there are 2 primary issues with a new E5+ printer with this glass bed that you dont expect.

When removing the old extruder, make sure you have a good grip on the stepper motor. The screws that you need to undo are the only thing holding the stepper motor in place, so make sure you’re supporting it, otherwise, it’s likely fall and damage itself or other parts of your printer. The Tomb of 3D Printed Horrors channel on YouTube has a great tutorial on how to do this on Creality machines. The Ender 5 Plus is a larger size, all-around more capable machine with a bigger bed, that follows on from the Ender 5 Pro, next in a successful family of printers. This will likely help maintain Creality’s leading position in this sector of the market. Pairing your Ender 5 Plus with a Raspberry Pi SBC allows you to integrate remote monitoring and control of your printer via a program like OctoPrint.There are some higher areas, but it’s all within two tenths of a mm. It doesn’t matter too much because of step two. The Ender 5 Plus is the larger printer of the Ender 5’s family. It has a build area of 350 x 350 x 400 mm. The bigger print bed is supported by four rods and two lead screws, while the Ender 5 only adopts two rods. This enhances the overall stability of the Z-axis. But an extra 80 mm on X and Y is a big deal, getting you halfway to an Ender 5 Plus table (note: only table, not build height). This board also has a multitude of features including a dual Z-axis interface, a 32-bit controller, and an RGB light bar header. If you need a machine and don’t buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don’t have it.” Ender 5 Pro

And they didn’t skimp on height, either — increasing from 300 to 400 mm. In some ways, that’s a more substantial change than the bed size jump. This is the same model with the M104 and M140 commands in the start gcode removed: ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 4.12.1

Unboxing, assembly, and first impression

Yes, it is. That’s our short answer. But why? Well, the Creality Ender 5 is a cost-effective 3D printer kit that delivers high-quality prints out of the box. As part of the Ender lineup, it benefits from the same upgradability and affordability of its predecessors of the Ender 3 series. This means that with the right upgrades and a bit of tweaking, it can turn into a semi-professional device able to produce prints with the same resolution of more expensive FDM printers.

The printer mechanics have been improved to deliver the highest level of precision achievable. That’s why the Ender-5 has been equipped with a dual Y-axis motor, a double-sided timing belt, and an 8-mm rod that connects the down-shift Z-axis to the center of the bed. Perfectly synchronized, the dual Y-axis engine is capable of driving the two sides of the gantry simultaneously. The printer also adopts a dedicated stepper motor for each of its axes. This makes for smoother and steadier movement. While this oversight on Creality’s part in this day and age is perplexing, you can turn the Ender 5 Plus’ motors whisper-quiet with a mainboard upgrade. Cubic-like Frame designed: Creality Ender-5 Plus 3D Printer is the larger version of the Creality Ender-5 3d printer, with the same cubic designed, solid cube frame. Box Design with Overhead Gantry.

The Ender 5 Pro is an upgrade of the successful Ender 5 machine, with a number of valued and effective improvements over the original. But the build table dimensions remained unchanged — 220 x 220 mm. We review the dimensional and functional changes between the two and guide the reader to see the machine’s benefits and issues.

What does it improve? Stops the filament from wearing away at the feeder arm, reduces resistance on the filament, improves the extruder’s rigidity For most users, it’s a rare occurrence to build that big of a project, and in most cases, it can be accommodated by printing in parts and bonding. But makers are very often not easily satisfied people. We recommend Blueprinted Bulletproof’s version from Thingiverse. It runs from the micro SD Card slot to the frame on the front with M3 nuts bolts and T-nuts holding it in place on the printer’s V-slot. The inclusion of a metal extruder kit is a small change, the benefit of which only shows up later as there is less wear and greater stability.These all metal extruder upgrades are more durable and robust, reducing the drag on the filament and stopping the filament from eroding away at the feeder arm on the extruder. They are also relatively cheap, which makes this an easy modification to opt for. Mainboard upgrade: Reduces motor noise, increases processing power, adds features like linear advance. It adopts a metal extrusion frame with a Capricorn Bowden PTFE Tubing and an adjustable bolt. The Capricorn tube reduces the odds of jams, while the bolt lets you vary the pressure of the extruder gear according to the filament used. The improved extrusion system makes for better flexible and exotic filaments printing. Durable: The steel plate is made of high quality stainless steel, which has good flatness and durability.
